Raja Ki Aayegi Baarat and Mehendi
Right from her first film, Rani Mukerji had a thing for histrionics and melodramas.
In Salim Akhtar's Raja Ki Aayegi Baarat, she plays a rape victim married to her offender. How she bravely deals with the tormenting guy and his family forms the crux of the plot.
That's not all. Up next, she campaigned against dowry and flexed more girl power in Salim's Mehendi.
Both the movies bombed. But Rani with her unpolished intensity and compelling sincerity was definitely noticed.
