No one can beat Madhuri when dancing comes.. But, later on I remembered beautiful dance of Madhubala in Mughal-e-Azam... Jab Pyaar kiya to Darna kya..Ohhh I dont know how I missed it!!!

I am pretty sure the name of the post influenced the results. Or am I the only one thinking all these songs would be good as a background for pole dance? ;)

Madhuri Dixit never fails to be awesome! The best dancers are always able to tell the story with their bodies.

Which reminds me! I really like the Choli Ke Peeche dance from Khal Nayak! It's hilarious and full of charm!

Wow both of my choices made to the top....

I love it....

I would also have given "hoton pe aisi baat" from jewel theif.
Also "Mera piya ghar aaya" from yaarana

BTW this is my first comment in this blog. I suppose you already know it by now, but u've a great blog and i love to read it esp after a hard day :)

Yeah...I'm late...but my favorite choreographed song is 'Nigahen milane ko jee chahata ha' from movie 'Dil hi to hai'

NO wonder the diva is present to grace all the three songs...

Thanks, Sash. That was a fun poll! I was surprised with the voting though, pratically no one mentioned old songs, majority of them are new ones. I agree with Trinaa's comment though, that tango number from Honeymoon Travels was awesome, other than that a few more that I get reminded of now are...

Old ones:

mehbooba mehbooba (Sholay) for Helen's belly dancing

koi matwala aaya mere (Love in Tokyo) for Asha Parekh's classical dancing skills

dekho bijli doli (PWDLH) again for Asha Parekh's dance

laga chunari mein daag (Dil hi to hai) one of the best dances I've ever seen in Hindi Film songs

muqabala hum se na karo (Prince) for Vyjayantimala and Helen's dancing

kahe tarsaaye (Chitralekha) I don't know whether this is Odissi or a mix of few kinds of dances, but it's beautiful


New ones:

kathak piece (DTPH) for Madhuri's kathak skills AWESOME!! (I think it starts somewhere at 3 mins 30 seconds in this clip)

maar dala (Devdas) again for Kathak skills of Madhuri

chhalak chhalak (Devdas) for Madhuri's dance

hum ko aaj kal hai (Sailaab) Madhuri's koli dance skills

chane ke khet mein (Anjaam) Simply Mads! and the way she does that move with her hands in form of fists stretched out and lachaks of kamariya... oooh la la!

idhar chala main (KMG) for HR's dancing

ek pal ka jeena (KNPH) again for HR's dancing skills

aaja mahiya (Fiza) love HR's dancing here too

mehboob mere (Fiza) Sush's dance


And there's one more dance of Madhuri where she is wearing black saari/black blouse, and no jewelry against a yellowish orange studio background and dancing away. I think almost same background was used for that silly number "daiya daiya daiya" of Aishwarya. I'm thinking could this be dhak dhak karne laga from Beta? I'll have to watch the video again to refresh my memory.

Too bad I can't think of any good dance songs of Sridevi right now, she's a cool dancer too along with Hema Malini. Our directors never gave them any good dance numbers that would utilize their skills. Such a waste!

I also liked the Western dance sequence Madhuri did in Aaja Nachle in the start of the movie...
But I couldn't find it on youtube...

If u wus have seen the movie. You would know what i am talking about.

Unknown said...

Kudos to Madhuri!
