Rani Mukerji. The very name triggers thoughts of a woman who is professional, determined and gutsy (both on and off screen!) and of course, who can forget her trademark husky voice!
As the incredible Rani turns 34, we look back on some of her acting finest, from debuting in Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat; she’s shown that she has what it takes to make it in Bollywood. With super hits such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, Saathiya, Chalte Chalte, Hum Tum, Bunty aur Babli and Paheli, demonstrating that she has the commercial power to reel in the masses, which makes her a bankable star the directors can rely on.
She’s also shown that she has the acting finesse to be able to play a whole host of characters and emotions, such as, ‘Sashi’ in Yuva, ‘Saamiya Siddiqui’ the feisty lawyer in Veer-Zaara,...

'Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap' (2011)
Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Prakash Raj, Hema Malini, Raveena Tandon, Sonal Chauhan, Charmy Kaur
Every film industry has its favorites, but no other actor in the world has quite the stature of Amitabh Bachchan, a legend who has loomed large over Hindi film for 40 years. In the last decade, though, the 68-year-old actor has been relegated because of his age to playing solemn, crusty, or wistful characters—usually a patriarch of some kind. In 'Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap,' he's a father once again, and a loving one—but wayward, as angry young men are wont to grow up to be. Bachchan resurrects the cool, tough film persona of his youth with flamboyant, ferocious punch, performed with just the right touch of self-conscious parody.
His son, actor Abhishek Bachchan, produced the film, and it's beginning to look like filmmaking, rather than acting,...

'Baabul' (2006): Mothers and their enduring, sacrificial love have long been celebrated in Indian films. In 'Baabul,' fathers get a turn at admiration. The title is a Hindi term of affection used by daughters for their dads. However, the film starts out as a story about a father and son who are best friends—Balraj (played by Amitabh Bachchan) and Avi (Salman Khan). Avi falls in love with an artist named Milli (Rani Mukerji) and marries her. Although Avi is pretty cheesy and his courtship of Milli saccharine sweet, he’s so smitten with her, so devoted to his dad, and eventually so attentive to his own son, that you can’t help but like the guy. When the story takes a sharp turn halfway through the film, we learn the extent of Balraj’s paternal love, this time for his daughter-in-law, as he goes to...
