Career

1980sHer first film was Pheri Bhetaula (We Shall Meet Again), a Nepali movie released in early 1989.

1990sHer first Hindi movie was Subhash Ghai's Saudagar in 1991. The film proved to be a good beginning, as it was thebiggest hit of the year.She starred in a number of unsuccessful films during 19921993 until Vidhu Vinod Chopra's love saga 1942: A LoveStory (1994) and Mani Ratnam's Tamil drama Bombay (1995) came out. Her performance in the latter wasparticularly appreciated and won her the Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Actress and Filmfare Critics Award for BestPerformance. She was also seen in more commercial films, such as Mansoor Khan's romantic musical Akele HumAkele Tum (1995) opposite Aamir Khan. Her role of Kiran, an ignored wife who leaves her husband and child inorder to fulfill her singing talent and subsequently becomes a popular star, earned her a Filmfare nomination for BestActress.Koirala had a particularly successful year in 1996. She received positive reviews for her performance in the dramaAgni Sakshi, where she played the role of a battered wife on the run from her mentally ill husband, played by NanaPatekar. The film became one of the biggest hits of that year at the Indian box office. Later that year, she acted inSanjay Leela Bhansali's directorial debut, Khamoshi: The Musical. The film saw her playing the role of Annie, acaring daughter to deaf parents. Her performance was highly acclaimed, and won her a second consecutive FilmfareBest Performance Award, as well as a Star Screen Award for Best Actress. One critic from Channel 4 wrote,"Koirala... demonstrates the full range of her acting ability, rather than playing against it as she has had to do in moretraditional films. The scene where she shouts at her father through the door, screaming and using sign language eventhough she knows he can neither see nor hear her, is extremely powerful." Filmfare magazine later included herperformance in the film on its "80 Iconic Performances" list.One year later in 1997, she played the leading role alongside Kajol and Bobby Deol in the thriller Gupt: The HiddenTruth. The film became one of the biggest hits of the year.She went on to collaborate once again with Mani Ratnam, and starred in his award-winning film Dil Se.. (1998) opposite Shahrukh Khan. Her role received similarly good reviews, and earned her several award nominations

including the Filmfare Best Actress Award nomination. Despite performing poorly at the box office in India, the filmproved to be a hit overseas. Success followed for Koirala, and she went on to act in several critically andcommercially successful projects. In 1999, she starred in the successful Kachche Dhaage (1999), which wasfollowed by six more releases, the most notable of them being Indra Kumar's drama Mann. She played the role of atraffic accident victim in the film, which entered into the top five highest grossing films of the year. Her performancein the film won her favourable reviews. Film critic M. Ali Ikram wrote about her performance, "If there is respite forManisha's innumerable fans of late, this flick is it. We may not care about hits and flops, but it is painful to watchthis acting virtuoso in the innumerable side roles she has been seen in of late. Indra Kumar's decision to cast Manishahere, is a case of perfect casting, and she never lets him or the audience down. This lady is truly the Meena Kumariof her generation. It is great fun watching Manisha and Aamir Khan's perfect chemistry opposite one another. Thefilm's climax has both stars permanently molding a spot for themselves in Bollywood history, and it will have youshedding tears by the bucketful."[5]

2000s

Manisha Koirala in 2008

In 2000 she hosted the TV show Sawaal Dus Crore Ka on Zee TValongside Anupam Kher. In 2001, she starred in the drama Grahanopposite Jackie Shroff. Her portrayal of a rape victim in the filmwho quests for justice was appreciated, but the film, which was amuch-delayed project, was a major commercial failure. She nextplayed the main protagonist in Rajkumar Santoshi's drama Lajjaalong with an ensemble cast that included Rekha, Anil Kapoor andMadhuri Dixit. The film received a positive reception from critics,and so did Koirala's performance. Her last release of the year wasMoksha opposite Arjun Rampal, which was a failure at the boxoffice.

In 2002, she starred opposite Ajay Devgan in Ram Gopal Verma'sCompany. The film was a critical success, as was Koirala'sperformance in it, and she won her third Filmfare Critics' BestActress Award. In that same year, she appeared in Ek Chotisi LoveStory. The film when released generated tremendous response atthe box office becoming one of the few successes of the year.[6]

However was mired with controversy as she accused the directorof the film, Shashilal Nair of using her body double to shoot somelove scenes in the film and portraying her in bad light by shooting positions using another actress in her place,without her approval to do so. Koirala demanded that Nair re-shoot these scenes because the double's body did notmatch her physique and required that these scenes be deleted from the film. She later claimed that Nair hadstipulated that he would re-shoot the scenes only if she agreed to bear half of the expenses. She said, "I alwaysbelieved in Shashi. I did this film out of sheer goodwill. I had nothing to gain from it financially as I did the film forfree. I also gave him all the dates immediately. It was his first chance to direct a film in four years. He has a familyto support and I couldn't bear to see a friend in hardship." Koirala decided to sue Nair and moved the court againsthim, objecting to the alleged nudity and obscene postures, and pleaded that these scenes be deleted from the film,saying she had not performed in these scenes and that Nair had made use of another actress for them.[7] Finally, thecourt decided to stay the release of the film.[8]
