Has Madhuri's Magic Faded Away?

Madhuri Dixit
The Dhak-Dhak diva Madhuri Dixit-Nene made a comeback after a 6 year hiatus from Bollywood with Aaja Nachle. The dancing queen is known for her dancing moves and powerful roles that she carries forward in every film. Many have admired her performance in Laila Majnu and her magical sizzling moves in Devdas. Her numbers Ek Do Teen and Mera Piya Ghar Aaya became a big craze.
 
The 46 year old Madhuri still manages to look charming and enthusiastic as always. She has won millions of hearts including Ranbir Kapoor in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Ranbir has shared screen space with Madhuri for an item song. He even confessed his liking for her and how he felt heartbroken after she married Sriram Nene.
 
After Devdas, she was approached for Aaja Nachle in 2007. The film, however, failed to impress at the B.O. and received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Apparently, the film was banned in Uttar Pradesh and other states and this affected the Box office rating.
 
Dedh Ishqiya received rave reviews from critics; however, its B.O collection was average. Everyone was singing praises about Madhuri's impulsive character and the director's ambition in bringing back the Urdu language into the film industry. After all the praises and hype, the film lost the screens to Salman's Jai Ho in the third week.
 
Even as she was gearing up for her next from Soumik Sen's Gulaab Gang co-starring with Juhi Chawla, the makers of the film faced troubles and controversies. Sampat Pal, who runs Gulabi Gang, helps harassed women and girls. However, Pal said that the lead actor played by Madhuri Dixit was shown as an anti-social element, contrary to her real life persona. The film however failed at the Box Office. We wonder if the Madhuri magic has faded away.
