Dixit in 2019
Indian actress
Madhuri Dixit made her acting debut in 1984 with
Abodh where she portrayed a young bride.
[1] Dixit went on to appear in several films over the next three years, including the dramas
Awara Baap (1985) and
Swati (1986), though none of them garnered her much recognition.
[1] The role of Mohini in
N. Chandra 's action romance drama
Tezaab (1988) proved to be a breakthrough for Dixit. The film went on to become the highest-grossing film of that year. For her performance, Dixit received a
Best Actress nomination at Filmfare.
[2]
[3] She achieved further success by featuring as the female lead in several top-grossing action-dramas, including
Ram Lakhan (1989),
Tridev (1989), and
Kishen Kanhaiya (1990).
[4]
[5] The role of a wealthy brat in the 1990 romantic drama
Dil earned Dixit her first
Filmfare Award for Best Actress .
[6] The following year, she starred in another box-office hit
Saajan , and won a second Best Actress award at Filmfare for portraying the role of a strong woman who rebels against her manipulative mother-in-law in the 1992 drama
Beta .
[6]
[7]
She featured alongside
Jackie Shroff and
Sanjay Dutt in the action thriller
Khalnayak (1993), one of the highest-grossing films of that year.
[8] Subsequently, she played an avenger in the drama
Anjaam (1994) to positive reviews.
[9] Dixit's subsequent release was
Sooraj Barjatya 's
Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994), a family drama which emerged as the highest-grossing Bollywood film to that point.
[10]
[11] The following year, she featured in
Raja (1995) which was a blockbuster film of that year and
Yaraana in which she played a woman who attempts an escape from her abusive husband.
[12] Both of her releases in 1996—
Rajkumar and
Prem Granth — were financial failures.
[13] Dixit's portrayal of a headstrong dancer in
Yash Chopra 's 1997 romance
Dil To Pagal Hai was a major success, earning her a fourth Filmfare Award for Best Actress.
[14]
[15] She garnered critical acclaim for her work in the dramas
Mrityudand (1997),
Wajood (1998) and
Pukar (2000).
[16] She portrayed five roles in the
experimental film
Gaja Gamini (2000).
[17]
Dixit was praised for her supporting role as a woman fighting against gender discrimination in
Lajja (2001), a drama on women's rights, which performed poorly at the box-office.
[18]
[19] The year 2002 saw Dixit starring in two romantic dramas, including
Devdas opposite
Shah Rukh Khan , in which she played the role of
Chandramukhi , a courtesan in love with an alcoholic. For the film, she won a Filmfare Award in the
Best Supporting Actress category.
[15]
[20] After a five-year absence from the screen, Dixit played a leading role in
Anil Mehta 's dance film
Aaja Nachle (2007).
[16] Despite the film's failure at the box-office, her performance was praised.
[16] The widely praised role of a con woman Begum Para in
Abhishek Chaubey 's black comedy film
Dedh Ishqiya (2014) marked her first acting role in seven years;
[21]
[22]
[23] she received her 14th Best Actress nomination at Filmfare for it.
[24]
[25] She followed it by playing the leader of a vigilante group in the action crime drama film
Gulaab Gang .
[26] Her highest-grossing release came with the adventure comedy
Total Dhamaal (2019), which ranks among the
highest-grossing Indian films of all time . On television, Dixit has served as a talent judge for the dance reality shows
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (2010–2014, 2022) and
Dance Deewane (2018–2021).
