And I don't mean just the biggest female Superstar, but simply the biggest Superstar even beating the male Superstars like SRK, Salman, Sunny and Govinda? Her track record is really good till 1995.

Dil was the highest grosser of 1990.

Saajan was the highest grosser of 1991

Beta was the highest grosser of 1992.

Khalnayak was the second highest grosser of 1993.

Hum Aapke Hain Koun was the highest grosser of 1994, an all time highest grosser and also highest grosser of that decade.

Raja was the third highest grosser of 1995 and this was a movie which was solely on her shoulders.

Dil and Saajan were Super-Hits. Beta, Khalnayak and Raja were Blockbusters. Hum Aapke Hain Koun was an All Time Blockbuster.

All these films starred Madhuri but people overlook this most of the time and give more credit to the male actors for the success of these films.

She dominated the first half of 90s by giving one highest grossing film almost every year.

Even after this she had Dil To Pagal Hai in 1997 which was also a Blockbuster and second highest grosser of the year.

Shouldn't that be enough to say that she was the biggest Superstar in 90s? Even bigger than King SRK?

Yes she was the "FEMALE SUPERSTAR" of the 90s and continues to be one forever



Her name was featured first in HAHK and she was paid more then the male lead that explains everything👍🏼

Raja was a big hit due to her only and people wondered why the movie was not named rani same goes for the movie title beta aswell and ofcourse all her other superhits her contribution is big as we always got excited to see a madhuri dixit movie and was least worried about who the hero is. She was and will always remain the complete actress bollywood ever got❤️

The 90s definitely belonged to Madhuri. She also had Koyla, Dil toh pagal hai, and pukar later on in the decade. I would say the second half belonged to Kajol.

Absolutely. She did films opposite actors with lesser star power and made films with horrible scripts work.

IRL these movies are actually known for Madhuri only. My mom and other relatives still say that Madhuri ki movie aa rhi, Madhuri ki movie lagao.


She has that Angelic aura that none can resist

She was a superlative dancer, above average looker, and below average actor.


But as a superstar? She ruled the 90s! There was no one ahead of her at the time. Not Amitabh (he was done as a leading man), not the Khans, not the assorted Kapoors/Kumars/Deols/ABCDs.
