There were certain poses that Sridevi repeated... cause it worked!
The most comprehensive fan blog dedicated to India's most beautiful and greatest actress of all-time (in our humble opine!), Sridevi. Sridevi aka Sreedevi, ruled Indian cinema (with awesome performances in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films) in a career spanning 50 incredible years featuring 266 films. Born in Sivakasi on August 13 1963, her untimely and tragic death on February 24, 2018 left a nation in mourning. In our hearts, she'll forever be, the eternal Queen of Bollywood.

Publicity Still for Sridevi and Salman Khan's 90s film: Saawan Kumar Tak's Chaand Kaa Tukdaa
This one tested even the most hardcore Sridevi and Salman Khan fan - the woefully edited and tragically made Chaand Kaa Tukdaa. The songs were good, Sri looked like a dream... and that's all we can say about it. The pre-publicity stills in print highlighted Sri's epic gorgeousness.
Before the beehive attacks us, pls note, even Sridevi commented that she got maximum flak for this film back in 1993! Oh well. You can't win them all.
Chaand Kaa Tukdaa was released on August 19, 1994.

I was today years old when I learned that this awful, awful movie... actually made money! The star power of Sridevi and Salman Khan (in that order - Sri had the title role!) meant this movie grossed more than its budget in the long run.
Budget ₹2.75 crore
Box office ₹3.88 crore!

Sridevi in pink: Classic 80s fashion, makeup for Cine Blitz
Cine Blitz cover with Sridevi: Film city cover with Sridevi, Shahrukh Khan and... Kishen Kumar!
Cine Blitz cover with Sridevi: Film City magazine cover with Sridevi, Shahrukh Khan and... Kishen Kumar!
Now, magazines would never share images - exclusivity is key.
The Cine Blitz cover is easily one of Sridevi's best - from August 1992. Sridevi was 29, easily India's biggest actress.
The Kishen Kumar landing on the cover is... amusing. And funnier still, this is not the first time he's shared magazine cover real estate with Sridevi - back in February 1993, Gulshan Kumar, ipso facto, T Series bought the cover space of Cine Blitz to launch Kishen Kumar - as his film Aaja Meri Jaan was about to hit the screens. Awful film, but fantastic music with superb singing by the late great S.P.Balasubraminiam.
More of the Sridevi cover shoot in the archive here.
