Mujra queens Madhubala, Rekha to Aishwarya Kareena Madhuri in 100 years of Indian Cinema
Bollywood has come a long way from classical dance sequences to western salsa in films.
However, what remains the unbeaten dance form is the mujra which is
still the most coveted performance longed by an actress in her career.
From Meena Kumari who infused life in the mujra dance form with her
minute emotions in Pakeezah, confident Madhubala danced in the royal
darbar of Mughal- A-Azam to teary eyed Rekha, Mujra queens have always
ruled Bollywood with their charm and poise.
Taking over from the yesteryear mujra queens, Kareena Kapoor,
Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have revived the trend
with a touch of spice and modernity.
Picking up the trend, Madhuri Dixit is set to revive the mujra
scene once again with her “Apne Khumar Mein” song in Dedh Ishqiya.
Striking back with her elaborate dance number, she will be competing
with the other ruling mujra queens from Rekha, Madhubala, Meena Kumari
and Aishwarya to name a few.
Madhubala was the first ever reigning mujra queen with her “Isi
mehfil me kismet azma kar hum bhi dekhenge” who paved way for Meena
Kumari to pick up her art in Pakeezah. Madhubala’s grace, classical
steps and charm was behind the success of Bollywood’s biggest
blockbuster Mughal-A-Azam.

Madhuri Dixit made many hearts skip a beat with her mujra “Maar dala” in Devdas.
Kareena Kapoor’s attempt at mujra dance form was a modern one with
her timid moves in “Dil mera muft ka” that went on to become the song on
everyone’s lips.
Mahi Gill also excelled in mujra with her seductive charm in ‘Gulaal’.
Mandakini did a mujra on "Ek Radha Ek Meera" in Ram Teri Ganga Maili.
Rani Mukerji also made an attempt at mujra in Mangal Pandey.
