The Audience Reaction: Telugu blockbuster Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari re-releases after 35 Years and the voice of the people have spoken - yet again. 

Fans go nuts at the screening as Sridevi and Chiranjeevi, Telugu icons, are celebrated once again especially during the memorable song and dance sequences. Be it an emotional, nostalgic reaction or a first-view for new generation kids who weren't even born when the original thriller/costume-drama/fantasy film was released, audiences are packing theatres. Bless.

Sridevi at events. In Western suits, cocktail dresses and salwaars...  

Sridevi was one of the few stars who could pull off both Indian and Western fare with such ease and elegance. Her contemporaries (and seniors) struggle to pull off both naturally... Her height, frame and feminine poise made her so picture perfect...

One of the many over-the-top excessive costumes of Roop ki Rani Choron ka Raja. 

The "fashion" show in the movie was... well, inauthentic. Its almost as if the director had never been to or seen a fashion show in his life... Which might have something to do with how inauthentic it was. And yet, Sridevi dazzled.
