Who was the real Queen of 1980s Bollywood?
The 1980s were a transformative decade for Hindi cinema. Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty and Anil Kapoor dominated the male superstardom era, while a remarkable group of actresses began changing the idea of what female stardom could look like.
In this documentary, we rank the Top 5 Actresses of the 1980s based on box office power, commercial dominance, acting excellence, iconic roles, consistency and cultural impact across the decade.
The ranking features Sridevi, Rekha, Jaya Prada, Smita Patil and Meenakshi Seshadri.

We also revisit the careers of Poonam Dhillon, Rati Agnihotri, Tina Munim, Shabana Azmi and Dimple Kapadia, and examine why their contributions deserve to be remembered when discussing the decade's greatest female stars.
