Mandakini became a household name after her first movie itself. At the age of 16, she was cast in the lead role in Raj Kapoor's 1985 movie, Ram Teri Ganga Maili opposite his youngest son, Rajiv Kapoor. The movie was a hit, and it earned Mandakini a Filmfare nomination as Best Actress.

The film also caused a huge stir because of two scenes - one in which Mandakini bathes in a waterfall wearing only a flimsy white saree through which her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were clearly visible, and another in which she was shown b.r.e.a.s.t - feeding a child. Some critics claimed that the scenes were v.u.lgar and exp.loi.tative, and were used to get around the Indian Film Censor Board's stringent rules against nu..d.ity. Raj Kapoor, as usual, defended the inclusion of the scenes stating that they were tasteful.

Filmography of Mandakini : Mandakini also acted in a few more successful films, such as Dance Dance, with Mithun Chakraborty and Pyaar Karke Dekho with Govinda, but never managed to recreate the success of her first movie.
