There’s no question about the fact that Urmila Matondkar is a fantastic dancer and has a knack for item numbers. She first sent our feet tapping in China Gate‘s Chamma Chamma which became the highlight of the film. This year saw two item numbers vying for the top spot and it’s hard to pick the best of the lot. Maestro A.R. Rahman composed Chaiyya Chaiyya for Dil Se … which was brought to life on-screen by Malaika Arora Khan and Shahrukh Khan. To this day, the track is popular as ever! It just goes to show how timeless Rahman is.
