For those who think who was more popular. I say it is Kat. Madhuri's songs were a hit but her roles in movies were not much remembered. In fact, none of them are worth remembering too. Except for a couple of films, she was a mediocre actress.


You're kidding right? If Madhuri doesn't know acting then which actress in your definition does? 😕

If Katrina is more popular today then Madhuri was back then I'm sure we all know why. Today it's not about your acting talent. It's not about scripts. I don't even need to say what it's about today.

I'm sorry, but people who grew up watching 90s films will remember such amazing roles and performances given by Madhuri. Those who have grown up watching post 2000 will never understand the true value of acting back in the 90s.

Sorry i don't think Madhuri was as Popular as Katrina in her heydays.And also lot of things have changed since 90's.Even in these days of Media overexposure katrina is able to remain No 1.Madhuri won't survive if she debuted now.



And Katrina wouldn't have survived even one day if she didn't have Salmans back.

Madhuri was as popular as Kat is right now but in terms of acting Madhuri kicks her butt anyday. You really need to watch Madhuri movies she was exceptional. 😛

Kat eyes Madhuri's position


Is this a joke? The word WOODEN says it all. She can NEVER inherit Madhuri's legacy. Not even a chance😳 Kat needs to come out of her fantasy land and realize she is not even 1% of Madhuri.

I like that Katrina looks upto Madhuri but there can never be another Madhuri. Madhuri could and still can give the actresseses of today a run for their money. Madhuri is one of a kind.

I disagree. No one cares for Madhuri today, the older generation have moved on, and the younger generation is hardly aware of her 'legendary' works. She was extremely popular at her prime, but sorta lost it from the late nineties as Kajol and Ash took her glory. Even the success of Devdas could not save her sinking career.

As for Yash's film with her, who cares anyway? I don't. 😆 DTPH and VZ were horrific enough to last me a lifetime. And SRK's face and hamming is a major turn off, so thank you very much. I am not even going to bother.

I guess Yash C. knows no one cares for him or his movies anymore, and that even the critics today are not fools to drool over heart-shaped balloons flying in the sky or people using dialogues straight ripped from Harlequin books. Hence he chose Katrina; on that way, the films is guaranteed a good opening at the very least. 😆

And at the actual topic: well, Madhuri was not a great actress, but even then Katrina is no way comparable to her in terms of acting. However, in terms of star power, Katrina is equal to her, if not marginally better!

Why are you comparing a Madhuri of today and Katrina? If you have to compare then compare the two in their heydays. That is Madhuri of the late 80s and early 90s and Katrina of today. If Katrina would have debuted then she wouldnt have stood a chance. Not just against Madhuri but against the other actresses too who were around at the same time-Sridevi, Karishma, Kajol and even Aishwarya. She cant act, her dancing is forced and she has zero oomph factor.
As for Yash Chopra...yes his films arent great these days but despite that he is a respected director because of his iconic films. No other director from his times is as respected today as he is.

Looks like you really have no knowledge about Madhuri's times if you think her roles were not popular. She used to have the capacity to carry commercial films on her shoulders. She outshone even Salman in HAHK. While your precious Kat is simply grateful if she gets to get a 5 min item number in his movie. Its not for nothing that Madhuri can return to India and command so much of adulation after being away for more than 10 years. This despite not marrying a filmy guy. No wonder Katrina wants to emulate her.

Kat eyes Madhuri's position

Katrina Kaif has a new ambition: She wants to fill the void left by Madhuri Dixit. Madhuri, the original dhak dhak girl of Bollywood, had the rare combination of oomph with serious acting talent. Exactly the kind of image Kat wants for herself. From being the quintessential glam doll, she has graduated to more serious roles.
And in London, where she is shooting with Shah Rukh Khan, she is displaying these ambitions to all and sundry, aware that the film can take her a to a different level altogether. "She personally has been shopping for accessories and clothes for the film. Katrina has envisioned her character and knows that she is the only one who can do justice to it. The song they are currently shooting in London will make other romantic songs in the industry sound and look mediocre," says her spokesperson.
We wonder what her contemporaries will have to say to that.

The new desi girl

Looks like actor Katrina Kaif's dream ? to play the quintessential demure Indian heroine ? is coming true in her film with actor Shah Rukh Khan

Sneha Mahadevan

Actor Katrina Kaif may have lived in London before she stepped into B-Town but she apparently always harboured ambitions to be a part of this industry. Ever since her first film, Kat has usually been offered roles that highlight her Anglo-Indian side, but she has apparently been waiting to play a typical Indian heroine for a while now.
A source close to her reveals this side of Katrina. "Kat is dressed in a western attire in most of the films she's done so far. They were the girl-next-door kind of roles. Most of her films did not require her to wear Indian clothes. But Katrina has been waiting to play the role of a demure, Indian woman and that is finally happening with her upcoming film with superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Kat has been shooting with him in London since a month now and is extremely happy with the way her role is shaping up. One particular song that has been shot has got her extremely excited," the source reveals.
Her look in the film is a little close to that of actors Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit-Nene. Katrina is a huge fan of their works and hopes to have a career graph like theirs too. The source adds, "When Kat got to know that a song was being shot, in which her look was to resemble Sridevi's in Chandni and Madhuri's in Dil Toh Pagal Hai, she took the extra effort to pay more attention to the look. She was so excited that she herself looked into the costumes and accessories for the song. She was also closely inspecting the shoot's progress to ensure she gave it her best shot. Considering her look was similar to that of two of the biggest actors in B-Town, she didn't want to leave any room for improvement."

errr...and where in the above does it mention Katrina saying she WANTS TO INHERIT
MADHURIS LEGACY?
all she seems to hav said in her typical laid back way is that she is excited to be wearing
the kind of clothes sri and mads wore when they were starring with srk kinda feminine
indian avatar types; chiffony sarees, elegant pretty salwars, maybe?.
she wouldnt mind having a career graph like madhuri? well madhuri was number one
while all the other heroines were numbers four to five behind her. so which heroine
would nt want that?
seems to me like MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
katrina has a good head on her shoulders; she didnt grow up here, she had to learn
the language, she doesnt hav filmi parents or sister, and she is not known for her
acting talent. so if she is number one without all that, and her popularity cutting across
all ages and demographics, more power to her.
yeah yeah salman was there is there. but then so was he there for somy ali, asin,
zarine, bhagyashree and heaven knows who else, and itsonly Katrina who is ruling
the roost. something to think about.
if maine pyar kyun kiya, partner had tanked it woud have been bye bye katrina hello
new starlet salman no salman
abhishek bachchan has movies because of who he is but he is no way number one
the way katrina is

What adulation? Acting in a 2 sec "Kanta bai" type dishwashing powder commercial and dragging her emasculated, hapless hubby like a personal serf to all the glamor parties to show her presence in Mumbai? And occasionally floating a "5 crore" movie deal rumor which never materializes? She thought that she could just saunter back in, frsh from surgery and botox, and get movie deals falling like coins in her lap. She has just been reduced to a professional party-attender like Sonali and Raveena.
