Sridevi glittering in gold in the 1980s Bollywood blockbuster Masterji.
Sridevi did a series of films with the 20+ senior actor Rajesh Khanna;
Sridevi received... mostly mixed reviews... ok that's sugarcoating the pill; Sridevi got a lot of flak for the provocative dances and outfits in the prudish 1980s - but the young starlet (back then) had no idea what the fuss was all about and seemed genuinely perplexed by the critics while simultaneously staring at one of the biggest hits of the year.
The movie raked in mega bucks and by today's standards, Sridevi's outfits are hardly bold and daring - a bit more gaudy and feathery - but certainly not risqué or vulgar. But then, that could be hindsight as we're not sure what the mores of the times were in the early 1980s when these images were splashed across the print media.
