Sridevi in Kaate nahin kat te (Mr India) The blue sari fluttering in the breeze. The blue sari clinging to her curves. The blue sari wet and wild. S for Sridevi. S for Sensuous. S for Sexy.	Kajol in Saiyaan (U Me AUR HUM) All woman. All allure. Sheer yellow sari or a black pant-suit, Kajol — seducing real-life hubby Ajay Devgn in this number — was red-hot. The clincher? The killer Kajol eyes that said much more than the rest of her did.
Kareena Kapoor in San sana na (ASOKA) We thought of Naina thag lenge from Omkara. We thought of Khuda hafiz in Yuva. But we had to pick this earthy number from the 2001 Santosh Sivan film. The kohl-lined eyes, the pursed lips, the cloth bustier, the hint of rebellion. Kareena as the princess of hearts.	Preity Zinta in Jaane kyun (DIL CHAHTA HAI) For Preity, we had to pick her cutest; not hottest. And she hasn’t looked cuter than in this Dil Chahta Hai romantic number. Fresh, frothy and fun.
Madhuri Dixit in Humko aajkal (SAILAAB) With Mads, we’re spoilt for choice. But this sensuous number from the forgettable Madhuri-Aditya Pancholi starrer doesn’t allow you to reach for the remote even today. Dressed in a cleavage-showing yellow choli and navel-flaunting green sari with a traditional nose-ring to match, Madhuri the Maharashtrian mulgi SIZZLED.	Bipasha Basu in Jaadu hai nasha hai (JISM) Much before Mallika Sherawat bit into Bollywood, it was Bipasha Basu — playing a manipulative temptress — who seduced the country in this erotic number. Bare back, plunging neckline, the sexy romp on the beach with John, that look in those eyes — the Bong babe was all jism ka nasha.
Raveena Tandon in Zahreeli raat (aks) The super-fun Sheher ki ladki came close, but when it comes to raw sex appeal, ravishing Ravs hasn’t turned it on better than in this seductive Aks number. The black suit, the red tie, the crimson lips... and then the striptease. Venomous!	Vidya Balan in dil toh bachcha hai ji (Ishqiya) Vidya had told us before Ishqiya released that she was playing an Indian seductress. And how does the Indian seductress do it? Not by uncrossing her legs, but with a look in her eyes. Not by going naked, but in six yards of a dishevelled sari. Not with a romp in bed, but with a smouldering smack and kiss. Lucky Arshad.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Kajra re (BUNTY AUR BABLI) It was a song that had the Bachchan baap and beta vying for our attention and yet it was Aishwarya Rai (then not a Bachchan) who grabbed us by the (eye)balls in the Bolly anthem of the decade. Alternately smouldering and coy, Ash’s kaare kaare naina, her heaving cleavage, her bare-backed jhatkas, her belly jiggle... hypnotised the nation. Beta toh beta, baap re baap!	Priyanka Chopra in Desi girl (DOSTANA) Sheer sari. Check. Bare back. Check. Hint of cleavage. Check. Hair left loose. Check. Hips that don’t lie. Check. Seductive smile. Check. Priyanka looking her best. Check. Ain’t nobody like my desi girl.... Well, we can’t help but agree!
Katrina Kaif in Teri ore (SINGH IS KINNG) We don’t blame you if you ignored the Egyptian skyline and the pyramids and merely gaped at the woman in black as she came running into Akshay’s arms. Our eyes were only Teri ore, Kat!	Rani Mukerji in Tumhi dekho na (kabhi alvida naa kehna) We almost picked the playful-yet-soulful Suno na from Chalte Chalte, but the lingering image of Rani in those sheer and sexy Manish Malhotra saris in this mushy number from the 2006 Karan Johar film forced us to settle for this one. Long straight hair, the six yards draped seductively and minimal make-up summed up Rani’s look in this song. Shah Rukh Khan wasn’t the only one smitten!
