Mithun Chakbraborthy and Sridevi in Waqt ki Awaz (1988): Box office Hit

Sridevi with Mithun Chakraborty in the 80s flick, Waqt Ki Awaz.

Er, like the wardrobe, the movie was not good - but then we can say that about several Hindi films from Bollywood in that gauche era. The movie did stellar business at the box-office however (go figure!), as it was the fifth highest grossing film of 1988!

The songs were a chart-buster - and on a side note, tragically, the film featured the swansong of the great Kishore Kumar - who recorded a song for the film a day before his death, with Asha Bhosle. What we mostly remember from that film was however was the song  "Pyar Chahiye Kitni Baar" by Sudesh Bhosle and Alisha Chinai (who most memorably sang the iconic Kate nahin kathe for Sridevi in Mr.India).

Here are a series of pics from the sets of that song - Mithun channeling some vintage MJ looks in that all leather ensemble.
