Debut movie description: The Maharashtrian mulgi is world famous for her infectious smile. Madhuri Dixit started her career with the critically acclaimed film Abodh and later gained wide publicity with her role of Mohini in Tezaab.
Dixit made her acting debut in Rajshri Productions' movie Abodh in 1984 opposite the Bengali actor, Tapas Paul. The film failed to do well but Dixit earned positive reviews from critics. Aakash Barvalia on Gomolo praised her as he wrote "Madhuri excels in her role as a young naive bride who acquits herself well as the naive village girl and does not realize what marriage actually entails." Her only release of 1985 was Awara Baap that turned out to be another failure for Dixit.
