Memorable songs that were choreographed by Saroj Khan

This morning, we woke up with the sad news that veteran choreographer Saroj Khan passed away. She had been in the industry for more than four decades and had made mostly all the actors dance on her steps.

Today, as she is no more with us let’s look at the list of most memorable songs that were choreographed by Saroj Khan.


Hawa Hawai

Sridevi is known as Miss Hawa Hawai of Bollywood because of the song Hawa Hawai from the film Mr. India. The song is known for its music and lyrics and most importantly for the dance that Sridevi did in it. But the credit for those amazing dance moves goes to Saroj Khan who had choreographed the song wonderfully.

Ek Do Teen

If we talk about songs choreographed by Saroj Khan and if we don’t have Ek Do Teen on the list, then the list is surely incomplete. Featuring Madhuri Dixit, the song is still loved by everyone and we cannot for the fantastic hook step of the song which was given by Saroj Khan.

Dhak Dhak Karne Laga

Saroj Khan very well knew how to choreograph a sensuous song without making it look vulgar. The track Dhak Dhak Karne Laga from the film Beta is one of the most sensuous songs made in Bollywood but the way Saroj Khan made dance Madhuri Dixit in it, the song didn’t look vulgar.

Nimbooda

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked stunning when she danced on the song Nimbooda in the film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. It had some fantastic dance moves which were choreographed by none other than Saroj Khan.

Dola Re Dola

Saroj Khan won her first National Award for her choreography in the song Dola Re Dola. It is clearly one of the best dance numbers ever choreographed in Bollywood. Featuring two amazing actresses like Madhuri and Aishwarya, Saroj Khan did a choreography that gave both the actresses the equal scope to dance their hearts out.

Yeh Ishq Haaye

The song Yeh Ishq Haaye from Jab We Met is still loved by everyone. It was a beautiful song featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan and choreographed by Saroj Khan. Once again, the ace choreographer won a National Award for her choreography.

Tabaah Ho Gaye

The last song that Saroj Khan choreographed was Tabaah Ho Gaye in the film Kalank. It featured her favourite actress, Madhuri Dixit, and just like all their other songs this one too had an amazing choreography.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
