Anil Kapoor and Sridevi's not-so-dirty dozen! The listicle: 12 films with Sridevi and Anil Kapoor

Sridevi and Anil Kapoor have appeared in exactly a dozen films together. Some good, some great and some wise, some otherwise... 

Sridevi and Anil Kapoor had a brief cameo in the film Aasman se Gira (a children's movie) but they didn't share a single frame together and were barely in it for more than a few minutes, in Karma, they were not paired opposite the other either but were in several scenes together. 

Here are the definitive 12 films Anil Kapoor and Sridevi appeared in:
  1. (1986) - Karma (although Sridevi was paired with Jackie Shroff).
  2. (1987) - Mr India
  3. (1988) - Ram Avtar
  4. (1988) - Sone Pe Suhaaga (Sridevi was paired with Jeetendra)
  5. (1989) - Joshilay (Sridevi was paired with Sunny Deol in the film).
  6. (1991) - Lamhe
  7. (1992) - Heer Ranjha
  8. (1992) - Aasman se Gira (cameo by both).
  9. (1993) - Gurudev
  10. (1993) - Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja
  11. (1994) - Laadla
  12. (1996) - Mr Bechara
  13. (1997) - Judaai

Karma, Mr.India, Laadla and Judaai were hits. Heer Ranjha, Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja and Mr.Bechara were flops, the others did average to profit. The business aspect of show-business is key; when their movies worked, they worked together frequently, and a single flop meant both looked elsewhere. Success came and went, but their talents didn't dissipate.
