Top 7 Rani Mukerji old films to revisit August 07, 2025 Rani Mukerji has been one of Bollywood's most versatile and beloved actor. If you are in the mood for some nostalgia, here are 7 Rani Mukerji films from the 90s and early 2000s. Rani Mukerji made a strong impression in this action-drama opposite Aamir Khan. Her portrayal of Alisha was refreshing, and her natural screen presence made audiences take notice. The film's soundtrack, especially 'Aati Kya Khandala,' became a nationwide hit. Ghulam (1998) This film was a turning point not only for Rani but for Bollywood itself. As Tina, Rani had a brief yet powerful role that made her an overnight sensation. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) Though slightly beyond the 90s, this film is often remembered in the same nostalgic bracket. Rani played Priya, a woman facing the emotional turmoil of surrogacy. Chori Chori Chupke Chupke (2001) In this political action film with Anil Kapoor, Rani brought a lighter, romantic contrast to the intense plot. Her chemistry with Kapoor and her infectious energy added warmth to the otherwise hard-hitting story. Nayak: The Real Hero (2001) Though technically from the 2000s, Hum Tum showcased Rani's evolved acting skills and remains one of her most loved romantic films. As Rhea, she delivered a performance that was emotional, relatable, and witty, earning her the Filmfare Award for Best Actress. Hum Tum (2004) Rani's portrayal of Babli was bold, fun, and full of spunk. Her comic timing and screen presence opposite Abhishek Bachchan made this film an absolute entertainer. Bunty Aur Babli (2005) Starring Rani Mukerji and Amitabh Bachchan, it is a powerful drama inspired by the life of Helen Keller. Rani's portrayal of a deaf-blind woman is considered one of her finest performances to date. Black (2005)

I've watched Hum Tum, and I like it, but did I believe it was what makes Saif National Award worthy? No, absolutely not!" Another Internet user wrote, "He truly deserved it for Swades, tbh." One Reddit user said, "What a pity. Although Swades without an award is no less. But it would have been such a great moment for him and would've somehow healed some of the scars of Swades' BO failure. Might have made him choose similar films at least one more time, which he never did because of Swades' BO failure."
