The fantasy costume drama Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari was the biggest blockbuster of 1990. The third collaboration with Chiranjeevi, together they were 'the' golden couple of Telugu films. Sridevi was close to his entire family and each of their films came with surreal expectations on account of the historic box-office.
Sridevi's over-the-top costumes made specifically for the film worked well for the genre. Sridevi looking like an apsara/celestial being is a given. Some of her looks captured here. We cannot emphasize what a monumental achievement this was at the box-office.
