Difficult... two of the best Bollywood actresses! Tastes can differ... I don't know them enough to risk a personal opinion. According to this list, Madhuri Dixit. She received also more awards. "1. Madhuri Dixit 2. Madhubala 3. Nargis 4. Rani Mukerji 5. Rekha 6. Waheeda Rehman 7. Sridevi 8. Hema Malini 9. Kajol 10. Aishwarya Rai" "1. Madhuri Dixit India's sweetheart. Madhuri Dixit is the actress, an all-time chimera of the quintessential Bollywood heroine. From danseuse to dunce, from dreamy to droll, from Dayavan to dhak-dhak -- not just did she excel, but armed with that mega smile, she ruled over the nation with absolute power. Miss Dixit really broke onto the scene with 1988's Tezaab, the film establishing a few simple truths -- India had flipped for the Ding-dong-ding dance, Madhuri looked good with Anil Kapoor, and the lady sure could act. Then came a spate of films cashing in on that formula: hit musicians creating songs the Kathak dancer would give her own twist to, the everpresent Anil Kapoor and a meaty part for Madhuri. And while this string ran with great glee, soon it was apparent that the only key ingredient in the mix was Dixit herself. Like Julia Roberts, Madhuri's box office appeal is universally contagious. Bollywood's highest paid actress, she was the first to charge prices equivalent, and even eclipsing, the top heroes; it is currently rumoured that fees for her comeback feature are astronomical. Either way, it's a terrific investment. Madhuri's films have enjoyed enormous appeal, even without mainline heroes, with audiences readily queuing up to see just the superstar on screen."

Sridevi Yet another of our landmark actresses to hail from the South, Sridevi got her first big break with the Tamil smash hit, Moondru Mudichu -- also one of Rajnikanth's early successes. Then came several films with both Rajni and Kamal Haasan, the Tamil cinema megastars, besides making great inroads into Telugu cinema as well. Then came Bollywood's turn. Her second film, Himmatwala, was a superhit, earning her the dubious nickname Thunder Thighs. But the Indian male was more than interested, as Sridevi became a sudden, immediate star. Critical favourite Sadma established her as a capable actress, and she went on to star in several hits, largely through the 1980s. Check out the Women's Day Special Films like Mr India, Chandni and Lamhe show off her exquisite comic timing, her strength with emotions, her fierce and expressive eyes. Not to mention the fact that she was one of the best dancers in the biz. She remains a great Bollywood influence ever since, with Shah Rukh Khan acting in the outlandish 1996 film Army, just for a shot at working with Sri."
