Besides looking pretty and dancing well, Rani Mukherji can act.

Right from her Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat days, she displayed her acting prowess.

Though her spontaneity and screen presence was never in question, her dialogue delivery was labeled jarring and distracting.

Nonetheless, with every passing film there has been a marked improvement in her performances.

Here’s presenting Rani Mukherji’s career best:

Rani took on it sportingly and came up with a spirited performance in Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat.

The film starring her and Amjad Khan’s son Shadaab Khan was a failure.

Though her voice was dubbed, Rani’s spunky performance, sizzling chemistry with Aamir Khan and Aati kya Khandala sensation, set the ball rolling in her court.

Be it as the sexy college girl or a compassionate mother, Rani hit bullseye with Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

Standing in the face of talented actors like Shah Rukh Khan and cousin Kajol, Rani excelled in her dying scene and the ragging sequence in college campus.

Though it was a brief role, she was noticed. And so was her hot kissing scene with the Southern superstar.

As a filthy mouthed, bubble gum chewing, nose ringed, wild thing, Rani’s character was a far cry from her good girl roles.

Sadly for her, the film bombed.
