acclaim for her performance in Satya, for which she received another
Filmfare nomination. Satya was a critical and commercial success. In
1999, she got rave reviews for her performance as a pschycopath in Kaun
which was a moderate success, and saw further success with Jaanam Samjha
Karo, Hum Tum Pe Marte Hain and Khoobsurat, all moderate successes at
the box office. During the 2000s, Matondkar revealed strong, dramatic
and psychological features in her roles, and delivered a number of

Performer category, as well as various Best Actress awards at different
award ceremonies, suce as Star Screen Awards, Zee Cine Awards and
Bollywood Movie Awards. She later received the national honour Rajiv
Gandhi Award for the film, as a recognition to her achievement in
Bollywood. Taran Adarsh wrote of her performance, "...the film clearly
belongs to Urmila Matondkar all the way. To state that she is excellent
would be doing gross injustice to her work. Sequences when she is
possessed are simply astounding. If this performance doesn't deserve an
award, no other performance should. It beats all competition hollow." In
2004, she got critical recognition for her performance as a merciless
avenger in Ram Gopal Verma's Ek Hasina Thi, co-starring Saif Ali Khan.
She played the role of a deceived woman who is jailed because of her
lover, played by Khan, and later flees from prison to avenge him. Once
again, Matondkar was nominated for a Filmfare for her performance in the
film. Next year in 2005, she tried her hand with another horror film,
playing the title role in the film Naina, which failed. However, her
performance as the caring daughter of Anupam Kher in Jahnu Barua's art
film Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara was very well received, and she won her
second Bollywood Movie Award for Best Actress. Apart from holding a
successful acting career, she is regarded as an outstanding dancer and
has been a featured performer in many Bollywood item numbers. The daughter of a lecturer, actress Urmila Matondkar began her celluloid career as a child artiste with the film _Kalyug (1980)_. Although an average film at the box-office, her next film, Masoom (1983), about a family coping with an illegitimate member, showed her acting talents blossom and she received critical acclaim from both her fans and the film fraternity. She subsequently appeared in a number of films including Dacait (1987), where she plays Sunny Deol's under-aged sister who gets brutally raped.
Years later, Urmila then made her debut as an adult actress in N. Chandra's Narasimha (1991) opposite Sunny Deol . She then did the fantasy Chamatkar (1992) with the then-débutant Shahrukh Khan and Shreemaan Aashique (1993), a comedy on male chauvinism opposite Anupam Kher and Rishi Kapoor and a crime movie Drohi (1992), But no matter what films she did, while her fellow actresses Manisha Koirala and Raveena Tandon reached the peak of their popularity with blockbuster after blockbuster, success seemed to elude her.
Then she did Ram Gopal Varma's Bollywood Dreams (1995), a tale of a girl's journey in the film industry. The movie came as a refreshing surprise and Urmila gave a magnificent performance, which is no small feet alongside actors Aamir Khan and Jackie Shroff, but what gave the film classic status was A.R. Rahman's music, Asha Bhosle's songs and designer Manish Malhotra, who transformed Urmila from a Maharashtrian middle-class girl into a sexy and glamorous actress. With this movie Urmila revolutionized sensuality on the Indian screen. What most actresses hadn't managed even after a dozen hits, Urmila had achieved with only one film. And ever since, she has been associated with Asha Bhosle's sensual voice and of course the image of the sizzling seductress - in fact, she is still known for her sizzling sensuality and her stunning looks.
However, Urmila is not to be judged only for her looks. She is also an actress of great talent and skill - her performance in Satya (1998) as a modest girl whose boyfriend, the titular character, gets sucked into the Bombay underworld is one of her best ever performances to date. And since 2000, she began to play roles of depth and substance, making an impact most notably in the films Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya... (2001), Om Jai Jagadish (2002), Pinjar (2003), a drama based on India's partition, Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara (2005), about a man accused of Gandhi's murder and Banaras (2006).
As of 2006, she has acquired several assignments, both using her talents as an actress and as a seductress - she is doing Onir's Bas Ek Pal (2006) and Ram Gopal Varma's Sholay (2006), the latter of which audiences are eagerly waiting for with bated breath...

After Sridevi, she is known to have the played the most varied characters next to fellow actresses Tabu and Mahima Chaudhry.Her best-known item number is the Chamma Chamma sequence from the 1998 China Gate.
