Madhuri Dixit-Nene

Madhuri Dixit-Nene is timeless. Just like the timeless numbers  she enacted. The act started with Madhuri dancing to Lata Mang eshkar's classic Pyaar kiya toh darna kya (Mughal-E-Azam). She went on to perform on Asha Bhosle's In aankhon ki masti ke (Umrao Jaan), Alka Yagnik's Choli ke peeche (Khalnayak), Kavita Krishnamurthy's Maar dala (Devdas) and Shreya Ghoshal's Ghar more pardesiya (Kalank). Needless to say, the actress sent the audiences in nostalgic ecstasy.

In his first ever full-blown dance performance on stage, Ayushmann Khurrana proved that he's a Rockstar. Paying tribute to showmen of different eras, he performed to a medley of vintage beats like Raj Kapoor's Jeena yahaan, Dev Anand's Yeh dil na hota bechara, Shammi Kapoor's YahooÖ He kept the party going with superhit songs of Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan. He even made his lovely wife Tahira Kashyap part of his act. The swag party continued as he grooved on Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's chartbusters. He ended the act with the recreated number Yaar bina chain kahan re from his Shubh Mangal Zyada SaavdhanÖ Brilliant!

Hottie Kartik Aaryan cast a spell on the audience as he swayed to some bestselling dance numbers, recreating the signature steps of the stars. Replaying Shah Rukh Khan's hook steps in Yeh kaali kaali aankhen (Baazigar) and Chaiyya chaiyya (Dil se) and Hrithik Roshan's iconic moves in Ek pal ka jeena (Kaho NaaÖ Pyaar Hai) and Dhoom machale (Dhoom)Ö Kartik was on fire. He even brought the Salman Khan magic on stage with O o jaane jaana (Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya) and Swag se karoge sabka swagat (Tiger Zinda Hai).  And of course, the cherry on the cake was Kartik moving to his recent hit Haan main galat (Love Aaj Kal).

Vicky Kaushal

Vicky Kaushal celebrated the best films ever made in Hindi cinema and the legacy of Filmfare. The talented actor danced to an assortment of songs from movies, which won the Filmfare Best Film Award from 1954 to 2019. The crowds were soaked in nostalgia as he grooved to Nanhe munne bachche (Boot Polish), Gaate rahe mera dil (Guide), Dil deewana (Maine Pyaar Kiya), Ruk jaa (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge) among others. The hysteria reached a crescendo when he performed to numbers from Kuch Kuch Hota and Kaho NaaÖ Pyar Hai too. We had discovered Vicky's dancing mojo last year when he paid a tribute to Amitabh Bachchan at the Filmfare Awards. 

This year he raised the bar higher.

Varun Dhawan

Varun Dhawan's entry at the 65th Amazon Filmfare Awards 2020 is something the audience will never forget.  Mounted on a 'rhino', accompanied by tribes of the state, Varun not only honoured Assam but also endeared himself to its people. His act was a homage to the beauty of India, the culture, the people, the landscapes... We all know what a brilliant dancer he is. But this was one helluva emotional performance by him. Varun moved like a dream but when he performed on Vande Mataram. It was a goose-bump moment for everyone in the audience.

Ranveer Singh

Livewire Ranveer Singh set the stage on fire with a special retro performance ñ a tribute to legendary composer RD Burman. He was accompanied by musicians and that made the act even more mesmerising. He performed on RD's blockbusters like Aa dekhe zara, Mehbooba o mehbooba, Tum kya jaano, Yamma yammaÖ What's more, he even took the mic and got the crowd on its feet. Amidst reverberating whistles, the audiences couldn't help but scream, 'Paisa vasool!'

Akshay Kumar

Heroic! That's the only way to describe Akshay Kumar's performance at the 65th Amazon Filmfare Awards 2020. Khiladi Kumar paid a tribute to all the unsung heroes of our country, our freedom fighters. 

It was a splash of saffron as Akshay descended on the stage in his Kesari look and kicked off his act with the rousing Teri mitti. He soon changed gear and got the audience grooving to chartbusters, Shaitaan ka sala from Housefull 4 and Laal ghagra and Sauda khara khara from Good Newwz. The hook step of Bala Bala Shaitaan ka sala, invited a massive cheering from the crowds.
