TBT to October 1992: Madhuri Dixit in a blonde wig

TBT: Madhuri Dixit, 25, in a blonde wig. Right... there is a history of Bollywood's leading ladies wearing bad, cheap wigs on film. This just adds to the list. Don't be fooled by the perfection of the makeup (Mickey Contractor), the soft lens photographer (the late great Gautam Rajadhyaksha!) and that famous smile of la Dixit. This is an awful wig... 

Filmfare, October 1992. 

Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan in Silsila

Silsila; adultery never looked so good - or as poetic. An eternal favourite film - except for that rushed ending... But then what would have been a satisfying end?

Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Khanna in Taal (1999)

Released on Sridevi's birthday (August 13, 1999!), Taal was just a blockbuster from the word go; the music, the cast, the direction before Ghai lost his mind... 

The album is FLAWLESS! AR Rehman.... the Mozart of Madras indeed...
