Birthday Special: Top 10 performances of Juhi Chawla

Birthday Special: Top 10 performances of Juhi Chawla

Juhi Chawla ruled the silver screens in the 90s. She is one of the most talented and successful actresses we have in the Indian film industry.

Today (13), Chawla celebrates her 54th birthday, so, let’s look at the list of top 10 performances of the actress…


Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak

Chawla made her acting debut with a supporting role in the 1986 release Sultanat, and it was in 1988 when she got her first film as a lead, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. The movie was a super hit at the box office and Chawla’s performance in it was appreciated a lot.

Bol Radha Bol

In 1992 release Bol Radha Bol, Chawla played the titular role and she impressed one and all with her performance in the film. We simply can’t forget her dance moves and expressions in the song Tu Tu Tu Tu Tara.

Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke

1993 was one of the best years of Chawla’s career. She featured in many successful films that year and one of them was Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke. Chawla and Aamir Khan’s chemistry was the highlight of the movie, and if we talking about Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke, how can we forget the song Bambai Se Gai Poona.

Darr

Jaadu Teri Nazar, Khushboo Tera Badan, Tu Haan Kar, Ya Naa Kar, Tu Haan Kar, Ya Naa Kar, Tu Hai Meri Kiran… Yash Chopra presented his female leads in the most beautiful way and in Darr, Chawla looked gorgeous in every frame. Kiran is undoubtedly one of the most popular characters the actress has played on the big screen.

Daraar

1996 release Daraar didn’t do a great business at the box office, but Chawla’s performance was damn good in it. The film was inspired by the American movie Sleeping with the Enemy.

Ishq

From romance to drama to comedy, Chawla has proved her versatility, and her performance in Ishq was a proof that in just one film she can easily portray different emotions perfectly. Her pairing with Aamir once again proved to be successful at the box office.

My Brother Nikhil

After 90s, Chawla started playing supporting but strong characters and moved her way towards more meaningful cinema. In 2005, she starred in a movie titled My Brother Nikhil, in which she played the role of a sister, whose brother is tested HIV+ and how society behaves with him and the family. The movie was set in a time when AIDS awareness was low in India.

I Am

In 2011, Chawla starred in a movie titled I Am. She shared screen space with Manisha Koirala in it, and it was a treat to watch both the actresses in a movie together. Chawla’s performance in the movie received positive response.

Gulaab Gang

Chawla is known for playing bubbly girl next door characters. But, she decided to play a negative role in Gulaab Gang, and she was simply excellent in the movie. To be honest, Gulaab Gang was a very average film, but Chawla’s performance was the highlight of it.

Chalk n Duster

Last on the list we have Chalk N Duster. The movie didn’t create much buzz when it was released, but it is undoubtedly one of the best performances of Chawla. She stood out in the multi-starrer.

Anurag Kashyap calls Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos "the definition of dumb" over 'Sacred Games' remark

Anurag Kashyap is known for being outspoken, and this weekend he made headlines again, this time taking aim at Netflix’s top boss Ted Sarandos. The filmmaker lashed out after Sarandos questioned the streaming platform’s early approach in India, particularly their decision to kick things off with Kashyap’s gritty crime drama Sacred Games in 2018.

During an interview on Nikhil Kamath’s podcast People by WTF, Sarandos said he may have chosen a more “populist” route if he could go back, admitting the series was perhaps too novel for the Indian market at the time. The comments didn’t sit well with Kashyap, who fired back on social media, calling Sarandos “the definition of dumb” and sarcastically suggesting the platform should’ve launched with traditional “saas-bahu” content instead.

‘Maybe Happy Ending’ wins six Tony Awards as Korean musical makes Broadway history

South Korea just scored a historic milestone at the Tony Awards, with the musical Maybe Happy Ending bagging six trophies, including Best Musical and Best Lead Actor. The show, centred on two ageing helper robots living on the edge of Seoul, left the awards night buzzing. Korean entertainment, long a force in film, television, and music, is now making serious inroads into Western theatre too.


From Seoul to Broadway: A story born in two languages

Maybe Happy Ending wasn’t always destined for the bright lights of Broadway. It first opened in a small Seoul theatre in 2016, a result of a local arts foundation’s programme. Co-created by South Korean lyricist Hue Park and American composer Will Aronson, the story explores loneliness, connection, and memory through the eyes of obsolete robots. Written in both Korean and English, the piece has been reimagined several times since its debut.

Darren Criss, known to many as a Glee star, played Oliver and took home his first Tony for the role. His co-star Helen J Shen portrayed Claire, the other robot. Together, they brought the emotional weight to a futuristic love story that’s more human than it sounds.


While the robots explore feelings in a near-future Seoul, the show managed to preserve distinct Korean elements like Jeju Island and the traditional plant pot hwabun on the Broadway stage, something fans celebrated online.


A cultural shift, decades in the making

With this win, South Korea joins the rare club of nations with major victories across all four major American entertainment awards, including the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and now Tonys. From Parasite to Squid Game, and now Maybe Happy Ending, Korean creators are no longer breaking into the global scene, they’re leading it.

The success also validates years of quiet work in South Korea’s theatre scene. Original musicals like Marie Curie and The Great Gatsby have made appearances in the West End and on Broadway, but Maybe Happy Ending marks the first time a Korean musical has truly swept the Tonys.


As one critic noted, more than awards, it’s about shifting global perspectives. Korean musicals are no longer export hopefuls. They’re now centre stage.
