## 1990s stardom
Tandon's early films after her 1991 debut failed at the box office, including *Andaz Apna Apna* (1994), which initially did no business despite later becoming a cult classic[3](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0849199/) • [12](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/andaz-apna-apna-director-rajkumar-santoshi-reveals-why-it-failed-at-the-box-office-8593320/). *Mohra*, released the same year, made her a superstar set to become Bollywood's leading actress[3](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0849199/). Her commercial hits of the period and after include *[Dilwale](https://www.edgepedia.org/dilwale-1994-film)*, *Mohra*, *Dulhe Raja*, *[Aks](https://www.edgepedia.org/aks)*, *Ghutan*, and *Mustifa*[1](https://static.pib.gov.in/WriteReadData/specificdocs/documents/2023/apr/doc202345178301.pdf).
She is also remembered for dance numbers of the era that have remained enduring[7](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/raveena-tandon-recalls-being-yelled-at-by-director-rejecting-film-playboy-bunny-costume-9241484/lite/). Tandon has said she turned down films on moral grounds, including one that would have required her to look like a "Playboy Bunny", and once walked off a set when a director dismissed her objection to a scene in which a comatose child was scripted to speak[7](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/raveena-tandon-recalls-being-yelled-at-by-director-rejecting-film-playboy-bunny-costume-9241484/lite/).
## Off-beat and socially themed films
Alongside commercial entertainers, Tandon's filmography includes off-beat films of the 1990s and early 2000s[2](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/raveena-tandon-ive-always-tried-to-do-films-which-have-social-relevance-8548896/lite/). She has described her choices as consistently oriented toward socially relevant stories with strong female characters: *Jaago*, *Maatr*, *Satta*, *[Shool](https://www.edgepedia.org/shool)*, and *Daman* all dealt with women's issues[2](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/raveena-tandon-ive-always-tried-to-do-films-which-have-social-relevance-8548896/lite/). Her performance in the national award winning *Shool* received wide praise, and she was nominated for a national award for *Satta*[1](https://static.pib.gov.in/WriteReadData/specificdocs/documents/2023/apr/doc202345178301.pdf). *Satta* (2003) also earned her a Screen Award nomination for Best Actress[5](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0849199/awards).
Her supporting work was recognized with a Screen Award and a Bengal Film Journalists' Award, both for Best Supporting Actress, in 2002 for *Aks* (2001)[5](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0849199/awards).
