 Half directed by Shekhar Kapur - parts of the film are wildly entertaining. The rest is cliche. Film started shooting in 1984 - released years later. Sridevi is ... every size in this film. Note the dance between the trained Meenakshi Seshadiri and Sridevi. Sri matches every step and her grace, expressions and smooth transitions makes her second to none. 

TBT: Sridevi arriving at Filmfare Awards: Dressed to the hilt for her Best Actress win

 

In a tell-all interview, Pankaj Parasher revealed that Sridevi knew days before the award show that she was going to win Best Actress at Filmfare for her performance in Chaalbaaaz - and that's the only way she would turn up for the show. She was so busy in 1989/1990 period that to fly down to Mumbai, a trophy and award had to be dangled at the end of the stick! 

Sridevi was a workaholic, a dozen releases a year was not uncommon, so she didn't waste time at parties, events and award shows unless pertaining to her film/work. When Sridevi made her first appearance at the Hindi Filmfare awards nite, all eyes were on her - she rarely made public appearances.
