Sridevi releases latest posters of Mom online #Sr

Sridevi in Nagina










Released on 28 November 1986, Nagina was a surprise... blockbuster! The biggest movie of 1986 where Sridevi was crowned the Queen of Indian Box Office,

Jaya Prada (and others!) had refused the role that catapulted Sridevi to another league of her own.

The movie would be nothing without the climactic song and dance Main Teri Dushman, choreographed by Saroj Khan, sung by Lata Mangeshkar (with formidable music by the duo Laxmikant Pyarelal) and enacted with perfection by Sridevi.

Sridevi has constantly and consistently given credit to the choreographer Saroj Khan for this stupendous number but without Sri's acting and her fierceness, it would be nothing...

Released on May 25, 1987, this is Mr India's 30th anniversary. The favourite film of so many Bollywood fans, it is a classic that has aged remarkably well. The special effects seem simplistic, yet the emotional core, the characters, the music, the performances, the narrative have all stood the test of time. Its... faultless. Its so much fun. Its got just the best of Indian cinema involved; a great leading actor, a strong supporting cast (be it any child actor or the incredible villain on screen, Amrish Puri) an Oscar-nominated director and... the uncrowned (well, crowned in this case - her golden tiara in Hawa Hawaii!!) queen of Indian cinema; Sridevi.

Online, we found these rarely seen pics of what happened behind the scenes of making this magical film - for which we are grateful. How amazing to see Saroj Khan choreograph every single number in the film, not just the memorable Hawa Hawaii.  The easy camaraderie between the main protagonists and the oh-so-cool director Shekhar Kapoor. And, the not-so-secret admirer of Sri at the time, film producer Boney Kapoor.

Vidya Balan said that Sridevi is an institution in acting while watching this movie; not the gravely serious art films that came out in the 1980s. To make the implausible plausible, Sridevi perfected her performance no matter what the scene or scenario. For those who don't remember, Sri was given a tag as a sexy, glamorous commercial actress and back then, there was scant praise for her acting - the awards came much later. But even in the most inane 80s flicks, she stood out and became the legend that she is.

Sridevi on the sets of Laadla: As Baws: As Bride! 90s in Bollywood with the Indian Icon



Sridevi as a bride on the sets of Laadla and as a businesswoman!

The Indian fashion is on point.. the western... well, I guess the power suits were a trend back then in the early 90s when the movie was shot! 

Sridevi looks pretty - of course - no matter what. This power suit from a scene in Laadla that ended up on the cutting room floor. 


Second Take: Sridevi in the 1990s



A throwback Thursday snap; Sridevi rocking this look!
