Hope 86: Sridevi performs Hawa Hawaii for the first time on stage: Jeetendra joins Sri to recreate all their hits: 1986

Sridevi and Jeetendra on stage back in 1986.

Hope 86 was one of the biggest stage shows ever held in India, where the entire Hindi film industry got together to raise funds for unemployed film technicians. Held at the Salt Lake stadium in Kolkata, Sridevi danced to 'Hawa Hawaii', long before the release of the film to generate buzz.

Sridevi's first stage show was the most awaited moment of the night - by 1986, there was no bigger female superstar in India. Gosh doesn't Sri look lovely?!!!

Also in pics, the greats Dilip Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar, in the audience the great Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand and others. We have been searching for the video or more pics of this forever! Hopefully... one day...
