From Black to Mardaani: 5 pathbreaking roles only Rani Mukerji could have pulled off

Thank you for giving us the best, Rani Mukerji!

Rani Mukerji celebrates her 40th birthday today and we really hope she has a great one. The actress has given us some of the best films and roles we can never forget. Be it the cheerfully ambitious Babli or the badass police inspector Shivani Shivaji Roy in Mardaani, we have loved watching her onscreen. You might love her as Tina in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or as Suhani from Saathiya, but Rani has done some pathbreaking roles in Bollywood. And these are roles only she could pull off. We marveled at her performance in Black. It is one of her best films so far and an unforgettable one.

Her upcoming film Hichki also deals with a disability rarely known to people. Hichki will be Rani’s first film after the birth of her daughter Adira and fans are very excited about it. In an exclusive interview with BollywoodLife, Rani confessed that her biggest Hichki while growing up was that she used to stutter and stammer a lot. In fact, for the longest time, the actress’ voice was dubbed by someone else and she worked really hard to get her diction right. The actress could finally dub for herself when Kuch Kuch Hota Hai happened. (ALSO READ: As Rani Mukerji celebrates her 40th birthday, here are 5 facts not many know about her!)

Here are some of Rani’s best performances in Bollywood so far.

Black
Black was and will always be one of my personal favourites. Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Rani created magic on the screen. It was such a beautiful and a very challenging film. Black will be one of the best in her career forever.

Mardaani
We saw Rani kick some ass in Mardaani as Inspector Shivani Shivaji Roy in Mardaani. Yes, she got punched in the face but she also gave it back. We can’t think of anyone else who could have done justice to the role other than Rani.

No One ****ed Jessica
Rani played a journalist in this film along with Vidya Balan, who played Jessica’s sister in the movie. Rani’s performance in the movie was loved by the audience and by the critics alike. It was based on a real life incident and Rani did complete justice to the role.

Bunty Aur Babli
This might not have been a film about a rare disability or a thought provoking one like the others but a lot of women could relate to Rani’s role as Babli. The film was a super hit and her chemistry with Abhishek Bachchan in the film made them the best onscreen couple for fans.

Laga Chunari Mein Daag
She played a young girl who makes a tough decision of becoming a high class escort to solve her family’s financial problems. Badki was yet another role that was meant for Rani and another great one opposite Abhishek. Her performance in this one also earned her a lot of accolades from critics and fans.

Even though Rani has done a considerably good amount of films that left an impact on the audience, these are the ones that we felt deserve to be the top 5. We can’t wait to watch her in Hichki! Which are your favourite films of Rani? Tell us in the comments below and stay tuned with us for more.

Rani Mukerji's 10 Most Unusual Roles


Happy birthday, Rani!

Many colleagues, who began their career around the same time as Rani Mukerji, have phased out. But Rani's looking strong as ever.
Almost immediately after breaking out in hits like Ghulam and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, the gifted actress showed a readiness for challenging roles regardless of size or significance.
Some of it worked. Some did not.
But one thing became clear as crystal -- Rani Mukerji is a risk taker.

In her comeback movie -- two years after her daughter was born -- Rani continues the practice with Siddharth P Malhotra's Hichki, in which she plays a schoolteacher identified with Tourette's Syndrome.
To get under the skin of her character, she spoke to individuals suffering from it as well as Brad Cohen, the author of Front of the Class: How Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had, whose autobiography forms the basis for Hichki.
Here's hoping her first film since she became mother to Adira is a rousing success and provides her the opportunity to flex her versatility even more.
Sukanya Verma celebrates Rani's 40th birthday by looking at some of the most unusual roles she's worked on.
Bichhoo

The cheesy copy of Luc Besson's Leon: The Professional is unlikely to meet Rani's approval today.
But at a time when every girl her age was fluttering her eyelashes in teenybopper avatars, it was uncommon for a Bollywood leading lady to go all out as a rebellious goth teenager.
Bunty Aur Babli

From over-the-top drama queen to over-the-top trickster to over-the-top goofball, Rani embodies small-time ambitions in a manner most quirky.
Black

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black marked a turning point in Rani's career. Her portrayal of a blind and deaf Anglo-Indian girl is uninhibited in its expression but rendered with extraordinary integrity.
No One ****ed Jessica

As the hankering for justice journalist in Rajkumar Gupta's take on the events surrounding the Jessica Lal ******, Rani's enthusiasm often gets the better of her. She still gets points for trying.
Saawariya

She's played a streetwalker before, but Rani's commitment to look gaudy and sound tacky in typical Bhansali tradition is memorable even in its jarring state, if not precisely for it.
Aiyyaa

Aiyyaa's bizarre humour did not get any love from the audience. Still, there's no denying Rani's illustration of the female gaze -- which is the core of Aiyyaa -- is superb, seminal, stuff.
Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic

Rani relives her childhood fantasy to pirouette as a Tinker Bell-tuned-Mary Poppins fairy visiting earth to get a taste of how aam aadmi parties.
Dil Bole Hadippa

In this She's The Man rip-off, Rani's winsome antics and adorable energy help the shenanigans of a cricket-obsessed Punjaban posing as a realistic Sardar batsman make more fun than it actually is.
Mardaani

Rani's sly, sturdy, cop towers over every single frame of Mardaani's cat and mouse game with a fierceness that is far more fascinating than the film.
