Parveen Babi, Sridevi, Jeetendra and Dharmendra in Jaani Dost (1983)

Jeetendra, Sridevi, Parveen Babi and Dharmendra on the sets of the film Jaani Dost back in 1983.

Parveen Babi, who was famously caustic with most of Bollywood (especially speaking out against Amitabh Bachchan!) said Sridevi was very sweet to work with.

One of Sridevi's earlier films, its so rare to find snaps from the early 1980s of vintage Sri online. Thankfully we do courtesy of kind and generous fellow Sridevi fans (aka Sridevians; a great word play on Dravidians!) and keep adding to this archive!

Sridevi and Jeetendra in Jaani Dost

Though the film did not recover its costs, Sridevi and Jeetendra went on to do several films together to astounding success at the box office. We've seen the film... its not great. "Time pass."

Vintage posts of the Sridevi - Jeetendra film Jaani Dost (1983) below. Bollywood film art at its kitsch-y-est! This was just a moment after Sridevi had set foot in Bollywood as a newcomer. After her rapid rise, Sridevi featured predominantly in film posters within the year.
