Devdas’ allure endures, with ‘Maar Dala’ standing out for its raw passion. Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit’s portrayal of tortured love hit home, but the making was far from romantic, as Madhuri revealed on The Great Indian Kapil Show.
Central to the struggle was Chandramukhi’s wardrobe: a breathtaking 10-kilogram Anarkali suit, handcrafted over two months by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. Mirror work, heavy gota, and bead-laden dupatta made it a performer’s nightmare, sapping energy with every move.
The scene demanded Madhuri lash the dupatta at SRK’s face with seductive flair. Those beads turned it vicious—first contact stunned her. SRK, ever the trooper, rallied: ‘Hit with full power to wrap it quickly.’ His forehead swelled from the barrage, yet he stayed in character.
Twirling added peril, per Jackie Shroff. Madhuri’s halts mismatched the dress’s inertia, risking tumbles. Their perseverance birthed a track that’s replayed endlessly.
From Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s vision to its stellar cast, Devdas set new standards. Madhuri’s insights celebrate the unsung battles of filmmaking, proving that the most enchanting moments stem from profound discomfort and dedication.
