2014: A year of comebacks for Bollywood stars

Bollywood was rife with comeback stories of several stars like Rekha, Rani Mukerji, Madhuri Dixit, Govinda this year, who once again made an attempt to find a place in the audience's heart.
But it is not always easy for actors and actresses to find a footing in the film industry on a repeat basis. While some succeeded, others could not find the same fame and adulation that they once enjoyed.
Yesteryear screen diva Rekha, after doing a cameo in 'Krrish 3', returned to movies with a full-fledged role in 'Super Nani'. The actress donned the role of a grandmother, who transforms into a glamorous avatar to teach a lesson to her ungrateful family.

The outdated plot did not help the film as it tanked at the box-office and even Rekha's evergreen charisma could not bring in the viewers to the theatres.
Rani Mukerji had a very eventful 2014. Besides finally tying the marital knot with her longtime boyfriend, filmmaker Aditya Chopra, the actress treated the audience with a hard-hitting movie 'Mardaani'.
The film, highlighting the escalating rate of human trafficking, centred around a lady cop, played successfully by Rani. The actress earned plaudits for portraying the character of Shivani Shivaji Roy with the right amount of aggression and sensitivity.
Besides a cameo appearance in Akshay Kumar starrer 'Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty', '90s superstar Govinda had not one but two back-to-back releases this year with 'Happy Ending' and 'Kill Dil'. Although both the films did not do very well, Govinda's funny single-screen superstar act in 'Happy Ending' and his brutal gangster role in 'Kill Dill' was much appreciated.
