Rachit Gupta Profiles the 50 Most Iconic Dance Numbers From Madhuri Dixit’s Career as the Diva Celebrates Her Golden Birthday
1. Ek Do Teen – TEZAAB
The song that put Madhuri on the global map. Ek do teen from Tezaab was that hot sensation that predated the viral video and YouTube generation, but it caused as much a stir, if not more. This song showcased Madhuri’s talent with the moves. This blazing dance number was the precursor to all that was to come.
2. Humko aaj kal hai – SAILAABTrust Madhuri to add oomph to the folksy koli dance. This naughty fisher woman’s jig featured Madhuri at her gyrating and seductive best. It helped that Bappi Lahiri’s tune was catchy. But seldom had Hindi movies managed to pack in as much excitement as Madhuri’s mid-riff mayhem in Humko aaj kal hai intezaar.
3. Chane ke khet mein – ANJAAM
Madhuri has done her fair share of ghagracholi dance numbers. Some have been iconic while others have been trusted hits. But Chane ke khet mein from Anjaam was that defining number that was possibly more popular than the film itself. This infectious number had great energy and spunk, all thanks to some vivacious dancing by MD.
4. Dhak dhak – BETAIf Ek do teen, was her debut to stardom, Dhak dhak from Beta slalomed her to the top. Scores of people; men, women, children and entire villages too, flocked to theatres to not just watch the film, but to see Madhuri Dixit dance. In this seductive and naughty number, Madhuri’s swaying back served up some red-hot thrills. This song became her moniker as it immortalised the Dhak dhak girl in Hindi cinema.
