Is MADHURI stuck in RUT of a DANCE DIVA???!!!!!!!

Is Madhuri Dixit stuck in rut of a dance diva? 😭

If there was one actress who could bring audience to the cinema halls based on sheer dance prowess, it isMadhuri Dixit whose name would instantly come into mind. Indeed, she was one of those rare stars in the world of Hindi cinema who from the time she mesmerized the audience with Ek do Teen TEZAAB number to Dhak Dhak from BETA, and Que Sera Sera of PUKAR where she matched Prabhudheva step for step, with each of her films created new benchmarks of dance for the audience to soak in its ambience and to groove to its beats. Indeed, if a treatise where to be written how a star was responsible or fired the imagination of scores of citizens around the country side to pick up dance as a form of sports, it was Madhuri's performances through scores of numbers that did the trick.

May be, this could have been the reason why when she decided to make a comeback, she chose a film like AAJA NACH LE which again was a celebration of dance to perhaps to rekindle the memories of the audience associated with her through her prowess of dance. But the reception to the film was lukewarm. Madhuri Dixit, however, was undeterred and continued to keep herself in circulation through various dance based programmes, being aired on various television channels, by judging the performances. The dance programmes which she judged was packed in such a manner that perhaps every episode revoked the memory of one or the other of her hit numbers and the participants egged her on to dance to those numbers from the past. So, even a Ranbir Kapoor also when he appeared in one of the programmes to promote BARFI! bent on his knees to request Madhuri to dance with him as it was his ultimate dream. And perhaps Madhuri Dixit felt that her dance indeed had an ability to mesmerize the fans so she created website which features all her dance numbers.

But slowly - slowly the magic is falling apart and the charm of Madhuri Dixit as a dance diva is not providing the longevity to her career that she could have expected. Even in DEDH ISHQIYA which is another of her remake films, she is talking more of the dance number than the film.

It is high time Madhuri Dixit need to deconstruct herself, and do a film where she does not dance. Is it easier said than done? Indeed, if a Big B could deconstruct himself, can Madhuri not do the same thing? In her yet to be released film GULAAB GANG her contemporary Juhi Chawla has deconstructed herself by playing a negative character, as a matter of fact Juhi has deconstructed herself over the years by exploring her acting prowess through acting in regional films. Should Madhuri Dixit also not try Marathi cinema?

Marathi cinema indeed is at an exciting stage with amazingly diversified kind of films being made, and they need a brand ambassador like Madhuri Dixit to further push their cause. Would Madhuri Dixit take the challenge, say by producing and enacting in a film in Marathi? Jury is out on this.

About her dance,even today she beats all those plastic dolls...

Dancing is her forte and ahe has numerous fans who still wait for her new dance numbers... Why should he quit dancing...?
As for Gulabi gang and Dedh Ishquiya, she has always talked about the film and not just dance...
She should try marathi cinema, they make good movies there too...
Madz still has it to rule the hearts...

To be honest she has always been known more for her item-numbers than her performances 😆

None of her performances left an impact on me the way Sridevi's Sadma and Lamhe did.

Madhuri has always been known as a dancing diva rather then an actress.

The writer of the article has a point. Madhuri is just stuck in the same old "dancing diva with dazzling smile" mode. She's not doing anything different. This is not the 80s or 90s when she was at her peak and her smile was enough to make people flock to theatres or remain glued to TV screens.

Sridevi was doing the same mistake in 90s playing those fiery heroine type roles which no longer suited and which the audience had seen enough of her. Juhi killed her career in its prime itself by repeating herself.

Why would anyone take interest in MD dancing now when they have seen better from her in past?

MD was earlier doing fine when she was doing films like Anjaam, Mrityudand, Prahaar, Parinda along with regular ones. She'd try to balance between roles that tapped her acting capability and those that showcased her dancing talent.

But ever since she's trying to comeback after Devdas, she's doing something related to dance mainly. Aaja Nachle was disastrous. And what's JDJ? The first season seemed mainly like a tribute to her glorious past.

I feel she should stop over-exposing herself and try to be a little more exclusive. She's got much more to her than merely sitting and smiling as a judge on a TV show!! I'm happy she's out of those Expert dish-washing bar and other fabric conditioner ads!

Look at Hema Malini! She is choosy with her public appearances and endorsements. Even now she endorses only a water purifier and a jewelry brand.

MD should be classy and exclusive in her appearances and roles. And do something new than just repeat past glory stuff.

I don't say she should play wife to older actors or mummy to newcomers. But films like Teen Deewarein, My Brother Nikhil, English Vinglish, Cheeni Kum, Namesake, Kahani etc. have all shown that different roles for women are being written, different kinds of films are being made.

I'm sorry to say, but after a certain age even Raveena Tandon started doing more different and mature roles in films like Satta, Daman whereas MD kept getting sucked into roles that were in same Mohini mode.

She's popular, much loved actress and currently audience is also receptive to different, women-oriented films. She should try to explore different realms as a performer.

I don't see any point in her wasting herself in item songs or sitting in TV shows - where she's regularly called to dance to her older songs or everyone keeps praising her and her beauty/dance.

She should say a firm NO to roles which have nothing unique to them and merely are a reflection of her smiling dancing diva image.
