Pehla Pehla Pyar (1994), Tabu’s debut film in Hindi as a leading heroine, failed to garner any attention. She gained immense recognition after playing a role in Vijaypath (1994) alongside Ajay Devgan, for which she won Best Female Debut at Filmfare. Tabu had 8 releases in 1996. Saajan Chale Sasural and Jeet, two movies that did well at the box office, were among the top 5 movies of that year.
