Sridevi in Farishtay (1991): 80s costumes in Bollywood



Sridevi as a pari (fairy) in Farishtay from a song... 


Before director Anil Sharma went on to make the super hit Gaddar, he made this travesty Farishtay in 1991. Wasting the talents of an otherwise stellar cast, this mish-mash will test any Sridevi fan. And it does.

Sridevi looked cute, especially in her songs but otherwise, yet another highly miss-able film. 

The movie was produced by Sattee Shourie. The film was in production for years - there's an image of Sridevi at the launch of the film back in 1987! She's barely in the film except in a few songs and appears late in the film. 

A fan at the Facebook page posted, "I was going to throw the VHS tape, just waiting and waiting  and waiting for Sridevi to appear..."

Lol. Yeah. Cashing in on Sridevi's Nagina popularity, there was bit on the snake dance in one of the songs in a dream sequence.

The polka-dot dress.. think many trend setters had versions of this look in the 80s and early 90s!

Sridevi at the Orlando Bloom Party

The event may have been hosted for Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom by politico Amar Singh, but Sridevi Kapoor was surely the cynosure of all eyes as the actress looked breathtakingly beautiful when she walked in with her husband, Boney Kapoor.

Looking like the uncrowned empress of Indian cinema that she is,  in a sari by Manish Malhotra, the party at DLF Chhattarpur Farms (on December 20, 2015 in New Delhi, India) saw just the creme de la creme of society, celebrity and superstars.

The Queen of Bollywood was seen chatting with the British actor and he was shocked to hear that the legend has worked in over 300 films. He gushed later to the press that he was thrilled to meet the beautiful and iconic Indian actress.
