Rangeela's significant contribution to bollywood cinema!


Urmila’s red & white crop-tops,floral bustier, knotted frilled top & hot pants, flourscent chiffon skirts rippling on the screen across the beach, grooving in bright twin sets, her white bustier with the matching frilly skirt in 'Tanha Tanha', not to forget her ankle boots & the floral mini skirt in 'Rangeela re', bringing in vogue the use of bright orange,pink & red colors (the matt effect red lipstick too??) with panache, far far cry from the flashy, over the top dressing style from Sridevi's 80s and Madhuri's 90s, finally giving way to some class and sophistication to the designer wardrobe!

Thanks to that one man Manish Malhotra with the leading lady Urmila & more specifically this song Tanha Tanha that transformed the way Bollywood dressed overnight.
Being in just VI th standard, i remember this movie & particularly the song Tanha Tanha which was quite a taboo, we ought to swift channel everytime it played on tv, why? because of 'oh-ma-go-isssh!-ki-obostha!' Urmila's skimpy outfits & seductive gyrations. Little did we know then that this will be a trendsetter in the years to come. Leading Heroines wearing bustier, swimwear, sports bra & shorts were a big no-no before this movie happened finally paving its way to more trendy outfits in future films like Dil To Pagal hai etc.
