7 Bollywood dance scenes that live in our brain

2002’s Devdas film brought us the impeccable “Dola Re Dola” performance from two of Bollywood’s most beloved actresses in the early 2000s, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai. In the scene the two stars are intent on outperforming one other, making for a visually stunning watch.

The early 2000s brought on some impeccable moments in Bollywood, and GRAMMY winner, A.R. Rahman's "Radha Kaise Na Jale" in the film Lagaan delivers just that. Aamir Khan and co-star Gracy Singh hit all the choreography effortlessly, keeping their audience entranced.

In this routine, modern-day Bollywood queens, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Deepika Padukone command the screen in the stunning 2015 performance. The scene occurs in the film, Bajiroa Mastani. Choreographer, Remo D’Souza won the Producers Guild Film Award for “Best Choreography” for the performance.

In this bold and vibrant technicolor scene, part of the 1960 film, Mughal-e-Azam, leading lady, Madhubala carries the performance as the dance explores the topic of forbidden love. The song’s title translates to “Why Fear When in Love?” The song is a classic for the famed singer, Lata Mangeshkar.

The film Dabangg was a major success in the box office in 2010, making its major dance scene featuring Malaika Arora Khan’s a big success. The song “Munni Badnam Hui” is sung by Mamta Sharma and Aishwarya.

Featuring English in the track, the routine set to “Sheila Ki Jawani” in the film Tees Maar Khan. The number is provocative and sultry, and empowering… making it a favorite for many who are fans of Katrina Kaif.

In the 1980s, Sridevi captivated Bollywood’s biggest fans, particularly in the 1980 film Mr. India, where she dances to “Kate Nahin Kat Te,” alongside Anil Kapoor.
