Above: Rare picture of actor Anil Kapoor, director Raj Sippy and actress Sridevi on the sets of Gurudev.
After the sudden and unexpected demise of actor/producer/director Vinod Mehra, Mehra's friend Raj Sippy took over the mantle of directing and completing the film. The film opened well, the huge star-cast of Anil Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor and Sridevi - the biggest superstars of their time - lured people into the theatres but the long film, choppy edit yanked people out.
The songs are great fun to watch - R.D.Burman's magic lingers. Sridevi shines in yet another double role. Rishi Kapoor was fantastic in his comic timing, as usual. Anil Kapoor... hams it up. But it was the sign of the times.
