Anil Kapoor had joked way back when, "Flop film, Superhit premier!" And he wasn't far off the mark. The opening night of Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja was the most lavish affair to hit Mumbai - the turnout was stellar. We've been finding and archiving the images from that night for a while now. Perhaps the most memorable moment of the night was when Amitabh Bachchan brought Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit together in the same frame, but really, the entire night was the most photograph-able event of the year. Eg the above image, such a random collection of super stars from the Indian film industry; the producer, the actors, the writers, the directors, the lyricist... and of course, the diva. Sridevi, the singular sensation. The powerful leading lady, in a line-up of powerful men.
