Rekha in Khoobsurat : Who can forget the naughty and beautiful Rekha in Khoobsurat? She was the soul of the movie. Her bubbly act in the movie won her critical acclaim and various awards. We think we wouldn't have enjoyed Khoobsurat even half as much as we did if not for Rekha.

Sridevi in ChaalBaaz : The beautiful and vivacious Sridevi played a double role in ChaalBaaz. She lighted up the screen with her portrayal of Anju and Manju, the twin sisters with very different personalities. The film was not only a super hit but at the box office but also won several awards including the Filmfare award for best actress.

Madhuri Dixit in Mrityudand : Satrring Ayub Khan and Madhuri Dixit in lead roles, the movie didn't too well at the box office. However Madhuri's performance in the movie was appreciated by one and all. The actress who ruled Bollywood in the 90s has done many women centric films like Lajja, Aaja Nachle, Gaja Gamini etc.

This movie garnered rave reviews from the critics and also from the audience. Gul and Ayesha did full justice to their respective roles in the movie.

Priyanka Chopra in Saat Khoon Maaf : She played 7 different roles in Vishal Bharadwaj's 7 Khoon Maaf. Playing the complicated Susanna must have been a difficult role and it is said that Priyanka was heartbroken at the film's dismal performance at the Box Office. Hit or not, we definitely applaud Priyanka for attempting to play this difficult role.

Vidya Balan in The Dirty Picture : And last but not the least we have Vidya Balan. Her recent blockbusterThe Dirty Picture had the best opening for a women centric film in the Indian film industry. The film established Vidya as a star who can not only carry the entire film on her shoulder but also make it work on the box office. We are glad that finally there's an actress who is being noticed for her acting talent rather than her thumkas and size zero figure, about time we say!
