Sridevi, Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan at the grand premiere of Khuda Gawah.

With two of the biggest stars of Bollywood leading the cast, the entire Indian film industry turned out in full force to see the lavishly mounted and truly epic Hindi/Bollywood film. Khuda Gawah is a fan favourite of millions.

At the event, the celebrity guest list included (among others); Aamir Khan, Farida Jala, Aasha Parekh, Anil Kapoor, Raaj Kumar, Saroj Khan and several others.  

Stars of the film such as Nagarjuna and Danny Denzongpa were there too of course along with the cast and crew of the film.

Having lost her father not long before the release of the film, Sridevi attended with just her beloved mother Rajeshwari Ayappan. Decked in her gajras and shimmering sari, Sridevi looked so grand. 

We have a huge archive of images and features on the film Khuda Gawah right here.

"Sridevi bowled me with her special smile and elegant namaste. The gajra-silk sari look of hers needs drastic over-hauling, even if she takes care not to repeat the gajras [flowers], or saris for that matter."
-- MOVIE magazine editor on the opening night of the epic film.

The film released on May 8, 1992.
