Sridevi's double role in Guru (1989): Playing the Good and the (sort of) Bad Girl

We always seem to forget that in the long list of double-roles Sridevi had in a film, Guru should be right up there. The movie hasn't aged well and we didn't love it but it has its coterie of hardcore fans and, let's not forget, the movie was one of the biggest Mithun - Sridevi box-office blockbusters!

The film is a Hindi remake of a Tamil film, Kamal Haasan's 1985 hit Kaakki Sattai. So the Bollywood version started soon after - but the madcap timetables of the busy stars of the 1980s, Mithun and Sridevi, meant the film was in production for a hell of a long time. Fortunately for the producers, the movie opened well and recovered its costs quickly.

Sridevi however, did not reflect well on the film and famously filed a lawsuit against the producers and director for an objectionable scene in the movie.
