10 Iconic Madhuri Dixit Dance Numbers that were choreographed by Saroj Khan

The last song choreographed by Khan, 'Tabaah Ho Gaye' featuring Dixit was a visual respite for a movie where everything else dulled out in comparison.

The chartbuster from 'Devdas' that fetched Khan, her first National Award for Best Choreography, 'Dola Re Dola' is the best cinematic dance-off between Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Nothing has come even remotely close to that.

A vision in green, Khan's choreography and Dixit's graceful moves made the song, a sight to be etched in our cinematic memories.

Another iconic dance number by Khan and Dixit that had the nation dancing in the 90s.

Let's admit it, we all have danced to this song as kids. There is all possibility that some of us might just YouTube this song, right away and dance again.

Even though the song landed in a soup for its suggestive lyrics, Khan's choreography managed to lend it some respectability.

A song that gave sleepless nights to many romantic hearts in those days. 'Dhak Dhak Karne Laga' featuring Dixit and Anil Kapoor holds a charm of its own and chances of it fading from our memories are zilch.

The dance number that can put any club anthem to shame. The timing and chemistry between Dixit and co-star Sanjay Dutt can give young actors today, a run for their money.

The song that introduced us to Madhuri's seductress side. Never before did the traditional Koli dance look so respectful and dignified on-screen as it did in the song, thanks to the able choreography by Khan.

The song that catapulted Madhuri to limelight, 'Ek Do Teen' is a song every successful actress of today's times grew up watching. Even a shoddy recreation of the same song did not do justice to the legacy left behind by the original.

The collaborative forces of late choreographer Saroj Khan and Madhuri Dixit have proved to be a winning combination for filmmakers in the late 80s and early 90s. Irrespective of whether the films carried effective storylines or not, a winning song and dance sequence ensured that audiences flocked to the theatres to watch the films that featured these songs. Let's take a quick recap of these ten iconic Bollywood songs.
