In true Abbas-Mustan storytelling tradition, Jacqueline Fernandez's saucy Omisha plays the cat-and-mouse game with the film's two male protagonists -- Armaan (John Abraham) and Ranveer (Saif Ali Khan) -- throughout the film.

Unfortunately, she ends up on the wrong side in the fight between the two rivals.

Sonam Kapoor's hacker character in Players may have been a terribly misguided move but the fashion-forward actress looked gorgeous in her onscreen avatar.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan drove everyone 'Krazy' with her steamy turn as Sunheri in Dhoom 2.

Cutout tops, short skirts and smoky eyes gave quite the makeover to this otherwise conservatively dressed beauty.

Esha Deol was quite a revelation when she emerged on stage for the title song performance.

A few kilos lighter and a lot more relaxed on screen, the actress was a huge draw in her relatively small role in the film.

Rani's vivacious turn in Shaad Ali's Bunty Aur Babli saw the film laugh its way to the bank.

Giving good support to Abhishek Bachchan's character in the film, the two managed to con people and escape quite easily.

The actress's colourful outfits were another highlight of the film.

Madhuri Dixit in Khel

Rakesh Roshan's 1992 romantic comedy Khel features Madhuri Dixit in the role of a con woman who takes the film's story forward by adding confusion in an already complicated household.

Her chemistry with Anil Kapoor, her costar in over a dozen films, was crackling.

In Boney Kapoor's ill-fated Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja that was meant to redeem her career, Sridevi's Simmy is a small time crook turning tricks and dancing on extravagant sets and wearing the most outrageously dramatic outfits.

She may have played in the wrong team in the 1980 action-thriller Shaan but one of the most striking moments in the film is her performance on the film's title song.

Her sequinned gown with a plunging neckline would have been a fashion hit even today.

Shabana Azmi and Neetu Kapoor

Two sisters turning tricks whenever and wherever they can, Shabana Azmi and Neetu Singh play loved interests to Vinod Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan respectively in this 1977 Manmohan Desai drama, Parvarish.
