In a breathtaking display of talent and resilience, Bollywood’s leading ladies, Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit, left audiences spellbound with a live performance to the song ‘Ami Je Tomar 3.0’ at Mumbai’s iconic Royal Opera House. This performance was a rare treat for fans, offering a glimpse into their electrifying dance number from the much-anticipated film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, marking the first time these two stars share the screen.
The stage was set on a Friday evening filled with anticipation and excitement as Vidya and Madhuri prepared to showcase their dance moves to a live audience. Known for their distinct flair and commanding presence, both actresses delivered on the promise of an enthralling performance. The rendition of ‘Ami Je Tomar 3.0’, infused with classical dance elements, was every bit the showstopper it was expected to be, combining the elegance of Kathak, represented by Madhuri, and the classic grace of Bharatnatyam, embodied by Vidya. Renowned choreographer Chinni Prakash expertly crafted the dance, resulting in an unforgettable spectacle.
However, the performance took an unexpected turn when Vidya Balan experienced a slip mid-dance. Demonstrating professionalism and poise, Vidya quickly regained her footing and continued with the routine, earning applause and admiration from the audience. Her ability to remain composed in the face of an unexpected moment underscored her seasoned experience and dedication to her craft. The moment, though surprising, added a layer of humility and humor to an otherwise flawless exhibition of skill.
In a candid moment following the performance, Vidya shared her long-held aspiration to dance alongside Madhuri Dixit, a dream realized that very evening. Reflecting on her admiration for Madhuri since watching her iconic ‘Ek Do Teen’ number from the movie ‘Tezaab’, Vidya expressed a mix of excitement and gratitude. She humorously acknowledged the incident on stage, attributing part of her recovery to Madhuri’s inspiring presence, “I may have fallen, but dancing with Madhuri Dixit was worth every moment.

Beyond showcasing their individual dance prowess, the performance built tremendous buzz around ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, set to release on November 1. Directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Bhushan Kumar, the film promises to be a captivating blend of horror and comedy, following in the successful footsteps of its predecessors. With a stellar cast that includes Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri alongside Madhuri and Vidya, the film is positioned as a standout release this Diwali season.
Kartik Aaryan, another prominent cast member, shared his excitement about witnessing the live performance. He recounted his enthusiasm from the moment the dance shoot was announced, emphasizing the unique opportunity to see two of Bollywood’s luminaries perform together live. “Watching them live was mesmerizing, a moment not to be missed,” he said, expressing what many audience members undoubtedly felt about witnessing such a rare performance.
Additionally, the song ‘Ami Je Tomar 3.0’ brings a fresh dynamic to a familiar favorite. Sung by the acclaimed Shreya Ghoshal and with lyrics by Sameer, the song’s new energy is further amplified by Amaal Mallik’s musical reinterpretation. The result is a track that feels both nostalgic and novel, capturing the essence of the film’s horror-comedy theme while spotlighting the artistic synergy of the two female leads.
As anticipation mounts for ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, audiences are not only eager to see the dance face-off but also curious about how this latest installment will unfold the stories of beloved characters like Manjulika and Rooh Baba. The film is set against the backdrop of a formidable box office face-off with Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’, a clash that promises to keep moviegoers engaged and theatres bustling this festive season.
While the mishap during the live performance was unforeseen, Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit highlighted true artistry, proving once again why they are celebrated icons in the film industry. Their dynamic chemistry on stage only heightened the anticipation for what lies ahead in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’.
