it happens when your movies are average and music of your movies bad. Minaxi's movies like most 80s movie did not have good music, Madhuri 's rise was accompanied by good music , Madhuri's movies had very good music, she got good dances . Madhuri's rise was on the cost of Sridevi and Meenaxi both. Padmini kolhapure was a far better actress than Sridevi, but Sridevi was someone who gave strong competition to male rivals, it happens . One should feel lucky to have got good movies ,music and director
