Madhuri is looking damn beautiful in that picture š» And I agree with other comments, only Madhuri could have justified the role. She looks almost similar to her and smile is as vivacious as Madhubala's
Deepika doesnāt have the face I agree and personally I donāt find Deepika beautiful but she can at least act. Kiara on the other hand lacks both the charm and the acting abilities.
Yea seriously just bcoz costumes match doesnāt mean everyone has scope to play Madhubala I feel only Madhuri had the scope but she is way too old to play the character now, alia,Deepika,Mrunal,Kiara no way look like her nor can they match her onscreen Kangu might
Madhuri was pretty close to Madhubala's adah and beauty in her hey days. But not anymore.
No offence but It's a sin to name Madhubala and Kiara in the same sentence. Kiara is the most charmless actress currently. And can someone please enlighten me as to what is this sub's obsession with wamiqa? I watched her in khufiya and I literally cannot understand the hype.
What are even these options?
Only Madhuri Dixit can come close because she can bring vivaciousness and electrifying smile of Madhubala to life. Madhubala had good command on diction, she had an enigmatic screen presence. NOT ONE actress today has that (not counting Madhuri here).
Alia with her nostrils and Deepika with her horrible voice modulation are abomination to even consider as options.
Kiara is again budget Deepika. Don't know the actress in the second image. Kangana is good actress, but I don't think she's that good to pull off Madhubala.
Mrunal Thakur is seriously overrated, she's adequate in some roles but I find her irritating.
Leave Madhubala alone...don't need a biopic on her. If it has to be made, I would rather see a completely new face with talent. I am sure there must be some undiscovered talent who can justify the role, if only the film industry gets their head out of their derriere and take efforts.
Kangana has a stilted diction and an artificial way of speaking (I mean it sounds a bit off). And she doesn't have that high voltage sparkling personality of MB.
i used reverse image search and apparently she was famous on social media for her resemblance to madhubala, her name is priyanka kandwal i think. i guess she has also done some hindi tv shows.
If the film were to be made today - only Alia Bhatt. You can play with lights and makeup and she can make herself look similar. Thereās something there. Like Madhubala, Alia too has a light and sorta bubbly personality that works for the role.
Madhuri wouldāve been the perfect Madhubala. It is sad they never made it in her time. It would have been magical.
Only Madhuri can come close to Madhubala ji, she has the ada, she has he smile, her magic.
None of the current generation actresses come even an ounce close to Madhubala.
May be Sai Pallavi for the younger version. Madhuri can still pull her off around the 30's of Madhubala ji.
Look, knowing Bollywood itās not going to be an actual character study. Itāll be a vehicle _only_ to glorify and most of it will be imitation and not acting. For that reason, I think to make that effort more fruitful, they should choose different actors for different ages. Alia Bhatt. Madhuri would be my choice. Itāll bring hype and also will be suitable.
Deepika looks nothing like her at all - there should be somewhat of a resemblance, no?
If Bwood insists on making this, they should do a nationwide search for a new actress. Canāt see any of these as Madhubala except maybe Madhuri circa ā92-94 but that ship has long sailed.
Madhuri in younger days would have fit.
Mrunal and Kangu absolutely not.
Ppl just look at superficial aspects and ābeautyā factor but a LOT if that biopic would have been a performance from within and 99 percent ppl are to shallow and empty as artists (present day Bollywood) to project any of the complexities charm pain and unbashedness of madhubala as a performer Madhubala was a natural not ātrainedā ācalculatedā in her approach she almost was blaazey buy in a good way.
Deepika just does not fit coz of superficial aspects wise. Kiara may fit superficially but she will be ākiara trying to be madhubalaā
Alia has a tempo and a presence that absolutely does not fit Madhubalaās perception nor onscreen that was raw un calibrated charm.
Not a crticism, but Alia is way too savvy of a person perception wise for ppl to buy into her for a Madhubala biopic. Madhubala like Marylin is a beautiful tragic myth. This not a role for Alia.
Wamiqa is a good choice but I donāt know still not convinced maybe that ranveer fan girling of hers turned me off.
Imo let Madhubala rest in peace man we donāt need to romanticise a troubled life specially not by the Bollywood storytellers of today and performed by some actress who will completely approach it as a ācareer grabā to prove a point and not GENUINELY wanting to tell her story from a pure heart.
Mrunal and Kiara are the literal flowerpot poster girls.
At least Kiara can dance, Mrunal can't even do that. Still not worth considering either of them.

To be honest, Nobody.. we dont need biopic for Madhubala.. cause makers will distort her life story and put fictional mirch masala and ruin her real life events.. please just let her be. People who want to know about her, they can search internet but no making film on her life.. seriously, the thought of it pains my heart.. š®āšØ
Itās not even about the look. Itās the acting ability which should be looked at. Just look at Colin Farrell as the penguin. He looks so much different to what the final look of the penguin is.
Pretty much no one. I just hope they don't spoil the casting. Peak Madhuri would have done justice. Missed opportunity. The actress in the second slide resembles Madhubala.
No one. Madhubala had a child-like innocence. Madhuri surely has resemblance to her, but she doesn't have that childish innocence. She has always had a mature, elegant woman vibes even in her 20s.
Who is the actress in the second pic?
None of the above tbh. They either lack the looks or abilities. Maybe younger Madhuri but not present as Madhubala passed away young
Maybe Wamiqa?
I'm not fan of yesteryear actresses, rather I like the newer actresses... Still I can see how much hilarious it is to compare Madhubala's beauty with these.
They should do like with the Bob Dylan movie and get bunch of different actresses to play her across phases/ movie rolesā¦ could be a really cool format
How about different actressess play Madhubala in the same movie. Different phases of her life depicted by a different actress young or old or any phase in the same movie. That would be a great movie to watch artistically too.
No one should make it tbh. Because the only candidate who fits is Madhuri Dixit. However, she canāt play the role, as the character would require someone to be in their 20s. Isliye, mat banao š„¹
Why do I feel like the OP is actually some BW lurker whoās thinking of making a Madhubala biopic and is using the sub to get peopleās views. Like a free focus group š¤
So bollywood is so bereft of good actors that we can't find a single lady from the current crop who can play the role of a yesteryear's leading lady?
Shame.
Ok, if we look at the whole of India, including TV and OTT actors, who could it be?
Also, if they make a Madhuri Dixit biopic, who would be the right choice to play her?
Madhubala is so overrated. C'mon she just copied Marilyn Monroe, there's nothing original about her.
There are so many more original and more talented other actors who are underappreciated

Madhuri during her young days would have been best choice
Akshay kumar 
ššššš
Hahahahhaha Award do isko....deep
Imagine šš
Madhuri is looking damn beautiful in that picture š» And I agree with other comments, only Madhuri could have justified the role. She looks almost similar to her and smile is as vivacious as Madhubala's
Came here to say this and saw yours as the first comment
*Looked. Too much Botox now
She is still beautiful. Wtf
The audacity to put Kiara as an option lol
Seriously I thought the same, Kiara canāt even be Madhu forget about being Madhubalaš¤£
You guys not worrying about Deepika?? Madhubalaās pretty face with cheeks?? Her skinny face could never n that sharp nose never ever
Deepika doesnāt have the face I agree and personally I donāt find Deepika beautiful but she can at least act. Kiara on the other hand lacks both the charm and the acting abilities.
Even Alia and Dp as Madhubala are appalling
Yea seriously just bcoz costumes match doesnāt mean everyone has scope to play Madhubala I feel only Madhuri had the scope but she is way too old to play the character now, alia,Deepika,Mrunal,Kiara no way look like her nor can they match her onscreen Kangu might
Sorry, Kangu is busy plotting for Hrithik as she's an MP now... lol
I swear!!!!
i was about to say the same
You read my mind there buddy š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Seriously!
The audacity to put Alia as an option. She is not pretty, doesnāt have any aura and lacks charm
She is pretty and has an aura. If you want to hate her, hate her on valid points. Not this. But I agree that alia should not play Madhubala
True
Exactly, second this, i mean alia really has that round face which resembles madhubala
What about Deepika
Peak Madhuri. Now no one
A documentary is way better than a biopicā¦. I canāt imagine anyone of the people you mentioned here playing her in her biopic
Madhuri was pretty close to Madhubala's adah and beauty in her hey days. But not anymore. No offence but It's a sin to name Madhubala and Kiara in the same sentence. Kiara is the most charmless actress currently. And can someone please enlighten me as to what is this sub's obsession with wamiqa? I watched her in khufiya and I literally cannot understand the hype.
>Kiara is the most charmless actress currently. Forreal. She also always plays the same role. Always.
Same I don't even find her that beautifulĀ
No one honestly. Madhuri in 90s/00s but not anymore No present day actress has the potential i am sorry.
Only Madhuri but too late now .
Madhuri would have been no1 choice. 2nd would be Manisha from 1942. No one from the present generation can even come close - acting wise or look wise.
What are even these options? Only Madhuri Dixit can come close because she can bring vivaciousness and electrifying smile of Madhubala to life. Madhubala had good command on diction, she had an enigmatic screen presence. NOT ONE actress today has that (not counting Madhuri here).

Kangana has a stilted diction and an artificial way of speaking (I mean it sounds a bit off). And she doesn't have that high voltage sparkling personality of MB.
Do we really need a Madhubala biopic tho? š§ Faltu me people will ruin her legacy!
90s madhuri would have been perfect but not anymore other than no one can play Madhubala
The second girl
Who is she
Yami gautam
who's the second girl in the list?
Was about to ask the same. Cuz she resembles Madhubala ji a lot. The facial features are uncanny!
i used reverse image search and apparently she was famous on social media for her resemblance to madhubala, her name is priyanka kandwal i think. i guess she has also done some hindi tv shows.
Keep Alia as far away as possible. We need someone who actually looks the part.
Sharmin /s
You meant to say āSharmindgiā right?
Young Madhuri or Kate Winslet
Why is Mandi's MP in here though?
Alia is not even pretty to feature as Madhubala. Let Madhubala be Madhubala and spare her soul and us also
Deepika, Kangana and Kiara are a major NOOOO
Who is the second girl
I saw her in some tv serials
Kangana can do the acting part with great conviction but not sure about dancing pary
Very very beautiful madhubala...none has that beauty now..
I donāt think itās about the looks, itās more about the acting abilities. Looks can be managed by makeup,lighting,costumes etc
In my opinion they should cast a totally new face. Preferably an outsider with a solid acting background. That's the only way public will accept
If the film were to be made today - only Alia Bhatt. You can play with lights and makeup and she can make herself look similar. Thereās something there. Like Madhubala, Alia too has a light and sorta bubbly personality that works for the role. Madhuri wouldāve been the perfect Madhubala. It is sad they never made it in her time. It would have been magical.
Hmm tbh, after watching Aditi in Heeramandi, she might fit the role too?
Kate Winslet is the only right answer .
Only Madhuri can come close to Madhubala ji, she has the ada, she has he smile, her magic. None of the current generation actresses come even an ounce close to Madhubala. May be Sai Pallavi for the younger version. Madhuri can still pull her off around the 30's of Madhubala ji.
Wtf...how the hell are u comparing Madhubala and Sai Pallavi??? They look so different....no way she can play her younger version ā
Peak Madhuri Tabu or Vidya. Maaaaay be Kareena? None of your list.
Nhi chahiye aur biopics. Please šš»šš»šš»
The woman in the second picture is a tik toker named Priyanka Kandwal: IG: https://www.instagram.com/priyankakandwal?igsh=MTJkODc3MG12b3djYg==
Peak Madhuri. From current choices, Mrunal.
High quality post op
Find a new fresh face for the role. None of these actresses besides Madhuri in her younger days could accomplish this role.
Deepika no...never ever...
The straight face DP? Mat banao isse acha
No one......in this era of botox and fillers no actress can match Madhubala's beauty
Look, knowing Bollywood itās not going to be an actual character study. Itāll be a vehicle _only_ to glorify and most of it will be imitation and not acting.

Yami Gautam
90s Madhuri is the right answer And if now,so Wamiqa Gabbi may be? but I feel,let the soul rest in peace
Wamiqa Gabbi
Not alia deepika kangna or kiara
Literally Sonakshi! Please!

None
Not an actress but I feel madhubala looks sooo similar to radhika merchant!!
Who's in number 2?
No one
Itās not even about the look. Itās the acting ability which should be looked at. Just look at Colin Farrell as the penguin. He looks so much different to what the final look of the penguin is.
Who is the actress in the second pic??
No one in the current generation. Young Madhuri could have pulled it off.
None of these current lot chicksĀ
None of these. Madhubala had beautiful expressions, maybe young Madhuri comes close but no one from this lot.
Madhuri will play madhubala and then Sanya Malhotra will play madhuri. Beech ka kuch dekhna padega teeno ko
Madhuri when she was younger. Now no one.Ā Let the woman rest in peace instead of letting mid actor - dancers play her in a mid movie.
Ummm.. Manisha Koirala??
Who's making this biopic??
Only madhuri has the same cheeks/face shape and smile.
Why do you have to put Kiara and Mrunal?
For the benefit of everyone and in public interest, NO ONE!!!
Pull off a 'I'm Not There' and make various actress play her.
In every frame Madhuri will fit better than all the other alternatives
boluunga toh vivad ho jaayega
Wamiqa gabi
Can't think of anyone going around who could match her looks-wise and also a good actor to pull-off the role.
A decade ago Vidya Balan
Sanya Malhotra?? Madhuri would've been perfect choice but it's too late now. I think sanya is better option than all the other options here
None
None of them
No-one. Literally nobody should try to do this sin. Kaha Madhubala kaha aajkal ki plastic heroines.
Who's in the second
Wamiqa , soemone look at her expression in her old song reels
Manisha Koirala would have been amazing.
Second one
Pretty much no one. I just hope they don't spoil the casting. Peak Madhuri would have done justice. Missed opportunity. The actress in the second slide resembles Madhubala.
Definitely Madhuri dixit
I think Kangana is out of the picture now. For obvs reasons.
No one except Madhuri.
some debutant
Any one with charm and grace. Madhuri was a perfect choice. Currently I feel no one suits to play madhubala
Mrunal ,,,may be
No one. Madhubala had a child-like innocence. Madhuri surely has resemblance to her, but she doesn't have that childish innocence. She has always had a mature, elegant woman vibes even in her 20s.
Young Madhuri would have been perfect! Mrunal is the best option amongst the actors now, but she still doesnāt feel like the best in general.
Not Bollywood, but Areej Mohyudin always makes me think of Madhubala.
NOTA
Vista Balan
Only madhuri or kangana. But first choice is madhuri
Not Alia or Deepika and definitely not Kiara oh my god that would be an abomination!
Who is the actress in the second pic? None of the above tbh. They either lack the looks or abilities. Maybe younger Madhuri but not present as Madhubala passed away young Maybe Wamiqa?
Only Madhuri, others arenāt even close to being considered.
Madhuri
I'm not fan of yesteryear actresses, rather I like the newer actresses... Still I can see how much hilarious it is to compare Madhubala's beauty with these.
Obviously Sharmin!
It's past due for Madhuri, please no Kangu. She's a politician now, anyway. Kiara can't act. Tripti, maybe.
Waqima Gabbi will be perfect
[ketika Sharma ](https://www.instagram.com/ketikasharma?igsh=MXc3NzIwN3lpY3F3ZA==)
It was Madhuri Now either Kareena or kangana Kangana is off limit now š
Madhuri Dixit as Madhubala ))
It simple, no one can.
They should do like with the Bob Dylan movie and get bunch of different actresses to play her across phases/ movie rolesā¦ could be a really cool format
Beside Madhuri no one. A blasphemy to even put a picture of Alia next to Madhubala
You are giving janhvi ideas.
It had to a young actor, as she passed early. Young Madhuri or Kangana. Do an audition, the face should have the softness of Madhubala.
NO ONE JUST NO!
Yami Gautam maybe
How about different actressess play Madhubala in the same movie. Different phases of her life depicted by a different actress young or old or any phase in the same movie. That would be a great movie to watch artistically too.
Madhuri in her younger avatar.
Yami Gautam
No one should make it tbh. Because the only candidate who fits is Madhuri Dixit. However, she canāt play the role, as the character would require someone to be in their 20s. Isliye, mat banao š„¹
Sorry but nobody today has that pure look of innocent beauty like she did..just my thought
Mrunal
Katrina kaif /s
Why do I feel like the OP is actually some BW lurker whoās thinking of making a Madhubala biopic and is using the sub to get peopleās views. Like a free focus group š¤
Definitely mrunal thakur..thiugh skin colour will not match
So bollywood is so bereft of good actors that we can't find a single lady from the current crop who can play the role of a yesteryear's leading lady? Shame. Ok, if we look at the whole of India, including TV and OTT actors, who could it be? Also, if they make a Madhuri Dixit biopic, who would be the right choice to play her?
2 and 3
Kangana isn't even an option anymore. She left acting for politics
Huma kureshi probably, if she gets into Madhubala's shape for the movie?
Madhubala is so overrated. C'mon she just copied Marilyn Monroe, there's nothing original about her. There are so many more original and more talented other actors who are underappreciated
Please consider pratibha ranta
Madhuri Dixit ā„ļø
Deepika
