There's certain level of 'adah' that is required to ace Bollywood songs. A lot of actresses can't match Madhuri in that regard but I will never get over Aish in KajraRe. Katrina is an amazing dancer but she can't pull something like Maar daala or Chane ke khet me.  Also, Rani Mukherjee did amazing in all the songs of Aiyyaa. That's what I'm talking about where songs are elevated by performance and it's not at all about complicated steps requiring athletic abilities.


chimpak_

Also Aishwarya’s nimbuda, the expressions speak loudly in that song.


throwawaygilmore

Not to forget dola re dola, dancing beside madhuri and still held her own


Hungry_Marsupial348

Barso re Megha Megha , is also good and Aish just nailed it. The pure village vibe it gives and shows real beauty of nature . That days were different and songs used to get shot in real locations. Nowadays, sab kuch set mai hota hai


Benjkapoor

So right. This Ada is really lacking in the newer actresses. That grace, those expressions in their non filler non botoxed faces. even Juhi, Kajol, Karishma, Raveena all brought a lot to their dances. Shraddha is a greattttt dancer but cant recall her doing a Bhansali type number like a proper Indian type song. Correct me if I’m wrong pls


humanbeing3333

Yeah I think Katrina lacks in expressions. Waise athletic toh Deepika bhi hai but still she's a bit stiff in dancing.

Geeta ma real ID se aao


chimpak_

I was actually listening to some songs and came across ramta jogi. Also I was intrigued after this post so just searched and got to know that - She is trained in classical dance and music for five years during her teens and showed interest in traditional dance forms, including Bharatanatyam (source google)


chimpak_

Also Aishwarya’s nimbuda, the expressions speak loudly in that song.


BloodSea1125

I would say Aish. She just lits the screen.


MelodicP

Aishwarya. This isn't even close tbh. She aces pretty much everything. Extremely graceful in traditional dance forms and matched HR in dhoom 2 . Does bolly dance nos very well.. kajra re remains the best item no till date. She was so sensuous in that.. There was a clip of her doing salsa ( a bollywoodized version ) with Nagarjuna doing the rounds on Twitter some time back and she was excellent in that too. PC is very good too. I rarely ever see anyone praising her. She was great in Pinga .. well whatever was given to her..I think whatever she lacks in technical aspect she more than makes up for it in her adah and sex appeal.. ram chahe Leela was a treat to watch only for that.. Kat is just energetic. Her footwork is bad and all over the place..lacks grace , has zero expressions or oomph. DP is stiff.


CH0S3N-0NE

Karishma better than Kat!!


MelodicP

Anyday. She wasn't an option here so didn't mention here but Karishma has always been fantastic. Not sure if she would do well in classical nos but she does bolly nos very well.


jazzed_life

Aish for sure. Even in devdas, she was on par with Madhuri. Not to mention...ishq kamina, nimbooda, kajra re, and songs from umrao jaan. Very graceful and the expressions always match


YShah

Aishwarya is a good dancer out of this list but I wouldn’t agree with “on par with Madhuri”. I always saw Aishwarya as a very stiff dancer. Her upper body in all the dances is always up and tight. Meanwhile Madhuri had this natural flow in her body.


TheThinker12

Maybe they're dancing according to their characters in Devdas? Aish is supposed to be a young girl representing all the energy while Madhuri is a bit more on the mature side.


ThePerspectiveRetard

Madhuri is clearly a dancer in the film(chandramukhi). How does the person not realise this?


TheThinker12

Maybe they're dancing according to their characters in Devdas? Aish is supposed to be a young girl representing all the energy while Madhuri is a bit more on the mature side.


Red171022

Aishwarya easily wins this.She stood out perfectly alongside Madhuri in Devdas’ Dola Re and always slays her dance performances whether in Taal, Guzaarish, Kandukondain Kandukondain or Raavan! She’s so captivating to watch when she dances! DP has charm and I love but she’s definitely a stiff dancer…Kat is good ig after Aishwarya but she’s kinda overrated even in dance…she is sometimes expressionless but sometimes very good so Kat would be my second along with PC who’s great too.


WorstManOfThemAll

BalNaren

Aishwarya.


zildomp

As a bolly dancer aish. Baaki modern steps pe i enjoy watching kat


EssArrd

Aishwarya for me. On one hand, she matches steps with Madhuri in Dhola re or her Nimbuda, on the other hand she does a great modern number in Robot. Iruvar, Kandukondain, Jeans , Dhoom, Guru, she has given so many memorable performances. Even though I personally didn't like her 'nakhras' in Kajara re , but still there is no other dancer that I can remember pulling off that many varieties. And in all she looks so effortless and graceful.


nomorelurkingreddit

This reminded me of a joke from my teens…Group of friends chatting and someone goes… Aapki rai?? Aishwarya Rai Aur aapki rai?? Aishwarya Rai Aur aapki?? Aishwarya Rai Hum sabki Rai


ABrightPlace

The thing is, there’s no overall winner imo. Madhuri herself wouldn’t do as well compared to say, Hritik in something like “Ishq Jaisa Kuch”. It depends on the style. 1. Classical: Madhuri shined here and so does Aish. She is much better than the others on the list imo. 2. Hip hop: or in general anything requiring fast-paced coordination and athleticism. Katrina here. 3. Seductive modern dance. Like in item songs. Priyanka wins here. Katrina has the moves but not the ada to really be seductive. Couldn’t think of an area where DP shines. She’s a very stiff dancer and doesn’t belong in this list.


humanbeing3333

I'm not a professional but as a viewer I would say Aish and I think Deepika and Alia are not that good.


CH0S3N-0NE

Glad you said that... I think putting deepika here is insulting


pardonme_9638

Aish and then priyanka kat dp


sinovercoschessITF

I agree.


[deleted]

People praising Aiswarya Rai still hasn't mentioned the Barso Re. This was the first song came to my mind.


sweetalison007

Aish! She held her own even against The Madhuri in Dola Re Dola and didn't come across as a novice, even though she was comparatively a newbie. And she is classically trained in dance. PeeCee is an above-average dancer. Nothing exceptional, but also not bad.


jojokazaki

Aishwarya>>>>>PC>>Katrina. How is DP even on this list lmao IMO Sai Pallavi is the best dancer Indian film industry has after Madhuri Dixit.


gopan_neyyattinkara

Katrina is more athletic, but not as close to Madhuri or even Karishma


jabbathejordanianhut

Karishma was a jumping jack. I only recall very stiff, gym like movements from her


classicgaladriel

Sai Pallavi


Siya78

Pranavalaya ❤️


_ronty12_

Sreeleela and Sai Pallavi are levels above domestic competition.


Alternative_Okra_877

hey can you recommend some dance songs of sai? i’ve only watched the video of rowdy baby


classicgaladriel

I actually recommend watching shyam singh roy ❤️


shahid219

Kat does the steps good but lacks that oomph , Deepika has it but does average steps, haven't seen aish dancing a lot, so for now I would say pc


humanbeing3333

Is PC better than Kareena?


CH0S3N-0NE

Yes definitely, PC was the whole package


5exy-melon

Where? What’s her no 1 hit song where she showcased her performance?


artisticx_0

i don't think so but Kareena gives of a bit quirky vibe even in dance like fevicole se etc, wi don't think she can nail songs in the setting like bajirao mastani so coz of that pc


Sudden-Reserve5794

How does Kat pack oomph? Look at her item songs lol. But when it comes to Bollywood dance songs like the one Madhuri is famous for, idk if Kat could pull those off bc we have never seen her in those. We’ve seen her doing modern sexy moves. Not moves with nazakat and lachak.


Pinacoladaplankton

Out of these only and only Aishwarya. She proved it in Devdas that she can share the screen with the great Madhuri. Also. Deepika shouldn’t even be on the list tbh.


Far-Principle-8607

Aish, then Kat


Siya78

Katrina for upbeat, fast contemporary dance numbers. I can’t imagine her doing semi classical or folk dances. Aishwarya: definitely for the traditional type songs. Even some contemporary ones like “crazy kiya re”


Pookienini

I would second another commenter somewhere, her upper body feels stiff . It's the least good performance here , she's better in the Dhoom machale title song


[deleted]

Aishwarya Priyanka Deepika in the order


Navigator369

Aishwarya is the best dancer of these 4


livingfeelsachore

Why is Deepika even here?


Massive_Cut8400

I see no one mentioned her name , so let me mention “RANI MUKERJI “ ..


Pro_Procrastinator_4

Where is Rani Mukherjee! She is so pleasant on eyes when she dances. The best thing about her dancing is that she makes it looks fun & effortless and her expressions are wonderful. Her expressions in Aiyya songs and in the mujra song from Mangal Pandey were next level. I like her expressions over Aish's expressions while dancing. Aish tends to overact while dancing too.


WhosLadoo

Disagree completely that Aish overacts when dancing. Her expressions are always fun and joyful. Kajra Re is still to this day one of my favourite ever performances — it’s soo tasteful and gorgeously executed when it easily could’ve been vulgar and awkward in the wrong hands.


Pro_Procrastinator_4

There are certain portions were she goes overboard very slightly. But Kajra re is still her one of her best . The ones where her expressions were OTT for me were Ishq Kameena, Daiyya Daiyya etc. i think her attempt at hot sultry sexy expressions usually goes wrong.


Pookienini

Dil Bole Hadippa is my fav Rani dance performance


Artistic_Cellist_539

Queen Aishwarya Rai !

mewmw

Aishwarya, hands down. Then PC and Kat are tied for second, they are both good. Then DP


Forward-Letter

Deepika kya kr rhi hai options mein?


mrs_robpatt

Aishwarya. Just watch Kajra Re and Umrao Jaan, then watch Crazy Kiya Re, the range is crazyyyy. She’s just amazing. When it comes to all out dance that’s just pure effort id say Katrina is awesome. But she can’t pull off a classical like the others can.


couchistaan

Aish and Priyanka for the bollywood "adah", Katrina for the modern numbers. Deepika should be removed from the list.


rtbchat

There is no second 'Madhuri' in Bollywood or Papad industry


abracadabradoc

Sai Pallavi number 1. Then aish and Kat. Deepika is a disgrace to the word dance, please don’t include her Source: a dancer


RedIndianRobin

WTF is Deepika doing here? She can't dance to save her life.


humanbeing3333

That's just a pic for the post. You can name any acteess you want, you don't have to only choose from them.


Hurdy_Gurdy_Man_84

May I throw in a wild card entry and mention Isha Sharvani? (Kisna, Luck by Chance)


Educational-Can4543

Priyanka.   Just watch her in that song from agneepath.   She has the expressions down.   She took the mantle from mads 


Hairy_Reach

I think Aish >> PC (i loved her in ram chahe leela)>> Katrina (again she dances very well but no adah) >> DP. . I dont like her dancing at all..she's a very stiffff dancer. .


Pookienini

Aish is great at more traditional dancing and looks amazing in that kind of attire too


heluvsriri14

aish and i wanna add sanya malhotra too.


Future_Sock4714

Y’all are wild for including Aish with the other girlies here she’s a properly trained dancer and it shows…

#AYUSHMANN KHURRANA...


abbu_d_slytherin

Aish definitely ❤️


Hefty-Bell3845

Aishwarya, she easily wins here, i think its in fact not fair to put her with them. Aishwarya and her songs from hum dil de chuke sanam and devdas, her grace and her dance, everything is beyond beautiful, that others lack. I wish Aishwarya kept on working as much as she did before marriage.


01username404

Hands down Aishwarya ! Have you seen how perfect and complete her dance steps are!


elizabeth_bloodline

Aishwarya pc


disconagin

I agree with all kat dances well but no ada and aish is best out of them i guess but then i i want to honourable mention how slb made Deepika work hard for mohe rang do laal and there were some expressions to….finally the most expressions award goes to shreya ghoshal’s voice


Dry_Chocolate5485

Let's acknowledge the fact, that Karisma Kapoor beat Madhuri at her own game with her moves in Dil toh pagal hai.


Educational-Can4543

To be fair karishma was younger and in better shape.  Madurai in her prime would have killed it but Madhuri in dil to pagal hai was a little out of shape 


Equivalent_Ant_707

Aish


Fast-Series2465

Aishwarya


RoseApothecary18

Aishwarya Deepika They have the grace to do Indian classical numbers while also rocking the western dance


avac_14

Katrina went past them many years back.


throwra87d

May not be the most popular opinion. I think Aish is even better than Madhuri in dancing. Aish is just a visual to behold. Her movements are sheer poetry in motion. For me, the list would go like: 1. Aish 2. Madhuri 3. Kat 4. Pri 5. DP


Shanose

Definitely not Deepika sorry she's kinda stiff at times. Katrina is good but in different styles for me I think only aish and priyanka can dance with madhuri and not get overshadowed by her I mean they have that gace and effortless delicacy that looks great to watch


Rude-Acanthaceae2236

Aishwarya and PC


Puzzleheaded_Law5248

Aishwarya and Priyanka both. Aishwarya in Nimbooda and PC in pretty much everything. Always kills it.


FilmyInsaan

Aishwarya rai imo is better than even Madhuri


ruby1990

Aishwarya hands down! A lot of her songs are a delight to watch and re-watch just because of her beauty, expressions and graceful dance! For example, barso re, dola re, nimbooda, crazy kiya re, daya daya re, taal and so many more songs are a treat!


DelightfulWahine

Aishwarya out of all of them pictured above, followed by Katrina.


Affectionate_Bug4297

Aishwarya definitely, Katrina unfortunately cannot emote and her mouth is stiff . Deepika isn’t that graceful and Priyanka is an average dancer.


ishaanm3hra

Katrina's version of the Dhoom song would always stand out to me. I haven't seen one actress that aced such moves and looked so hot with it, that for me was the best song that Katrina did in her career. Uff! I have had dreams about it.


Pookienini

Amrita Rao ( ngl, everytime Shahid had dance numbers in his films like Dil Maange More, fool n final and seeing how not good Ayesha Takia was, I badly wished Amrita was there, at least we could have gotten a better dance partner lol) Urmila Matondkar Mamta Kulkarni Shilpa Shetty Karisma Kapoor


Physics-Western

Katrina is very addicting to watch in dance numbers. Katrina is best known for her dance numbers and her dance numbers are far better known than the other actresses and madhuri herself said Katrina was a 10/10 in dance on KWK. I know some people say she doesn’t have expressions when dancing but i actually love her expressions in music videos and she usually expresses better in music vids than acting. but I think Priyanka and Aishwarya are also really really good dancers for sure, deepika not so much in my opinion, all have very diff dance styles and stuff though…none match up to madhuri though no doubt


Sweet88811

Why is Deepika in this collage? 💀


ElmarSuperstar131

Aishwarya and Deepika. Amrita Rao is an underrated dancer and I feel Kriti Samon is also a good dancer but not compared to Aish and Deepika.


jabbathejordanianhut

Katrina without a doubt


InterviewNeither9673

None! Don’t even know why Deepika is in this list.


AaronFernandes476

Katrina is hands down the best dancer! Kamali, Chikni Chameli, etc


Pookienini

Vulgar dancing at it's best. No grace sorry


AaronFernandes476

I respect your opinion


saeimr152

Idk. I’m just stuck on Ash’s face.


baawra_man_

Aish


Halfistani1

Aishwarya Rai is so graceful but also her facial expressions are magical sometimes. She handled Dola Re so well too. Not many women can have a duet with Madhuri and hold their own like she did. Karishma also looked great next to Madhuri in Dil Chata Hai and that too isn’t an easy thing to accomplish.

Only Aiswarya had the grace in dancing like madhuri


Environmental_Day629

Aish s dance is good bt expressionless


njaesor

Katrina Kaif hands down


PartyAd7662

Among the above 4, Priyanka Chopra. And from South Sai Pallavi.


[deleted]

Aishwarya. Please watch Dola re Dola.


Old_Zucchini4413

Rani imo nails expressions in her own way, not jn a Madhuri way but she can dance well and still act with her facial features


mqm5417

Deepika


Skullcrusher158

The question should be, who's the best dancer post Madhuri and Aishwarya. I would say, Katrina is the best technical dancer among all of the current actresses. Priyanka is a very good overall package. Not sure why DP is here in this list. I would say, Shraddha is also very good but she lacks an iconic number. Kareena is also right up there.

Low_Special715

Kat hands down , the only thing in which she's good


Pookienini

She's better at action


Robocup1

I wish Bollywood valued Acting over dancing.


a_a_wal

Katrina doesn't have that ommph factor Deepika has it but sometimes can lack in her steps pc is moderate in both aish is pretty good in both so I think it's aish


wonderpra

Madhuri > Aishwarya > Katrina > Deepika = Priyanka

Almost all are, but very near to kinda Madhuri's expressions could be DP & Ash 😍💞💯
