A staggeringly unfunny movie where Ash looks staggeringly beautiful!
Such wasted talent and opportunity.

Juhi Chawla in Ram Jaane
A moment of appreciation for the classic Indian beauty that is Juhi Chawla. Known for her comedy, her good looks were overshadowed by her zany performances. Like Lucille Ball, who was a great beauty, but people only remember her for her comedy. Same with Juhi - one just remembers her oh-so-cute performances and her wow looks gets swept under the rug.
In the otherwise awful film like Ram Jaane - with Shahrukh Khan's most hyper overacting - Juhi was a breath of fresh air. She looked incredible, danced well - and was so so so lovely in the song Na re baba kaanta chubh...
+ Shout out to Neeta Lulla for all the incredible looks in this song.

MOVIE magazine's Portraits: Collector's Edition
One of the senior editors at MOVIE magazine, Jitender Kothari, was a mega Madhuri fan - and she graced the cover of MOVIE more often than Sridevi during his tenure.
Photogenic Madhuri Dixit has graced several magazine covers and as a model and muse for many a photographer - including Gautam Rajadhyaksha, Dabboo Ratnani and others - it would be hard to pin point one singular cover as the best of Madhuri.
Well, I dare say, its this one. That smile, that face, those Colgate blessed teeth... The coiff, the soft lighting, the elegant makeup and glamour (take a bow Mickey Contractor!). She's never looked better. Which is saying something considering how often how great she looks in photoshoots....

From Filmfare Archive: Flame is fleeting
From Filmfare Archive: Flame is fleeting. One had to earn a position to get the Filmfare cover - now you can circuitously buy your way in. Fame is so fleeting. Never thought a day would come when people won't recognise, Lata Mangeshkar, Nutan, Nargis... Vyjayanthimala... And yet here we are.

The perfect cast of Kandukondain Kandukondain:
Easitly one of the best Indian films ever made. The music, the cast, the cinematography, the costumes, the styling, the direction, the writing... I mean, a Tamil adaptation of Sense and Sensibility?! Perfection.

Aishwarya Rai at an event: Peak beauty
This was around the time Aishwarya Rai was making the film Umrao Jaan - she was just dazzling. In Dubai for the promotion of Provoked, the film got mixed reviews but Rai was good. Really good. But her epic beauty has eclipsed every performance.
