Sridevi in and as Sherni (1988)

Sridevi in and as Sherni (1988). 

The film was not a success despite the pre-release hype - made by the team who created the blockbuster Nagina in 1986, expectations were sky high. Alas a half-baked script, tepid songs... there's little to speak of regarding the movie. 

It was yet another title role for the superstar, who was barely affected by the failure of the movie in 1988 as she the film was release smack dab in the middle between the success of Karma, Mr.India - and Chandni, Chaalbaaz. As the hardest working Indian actress, and certainly the busiest, the fate of a film here and there didn't affect this box-office queen. . 

Now, in 2020, Vidya Balan is acting in a film with the same title - however the movie has nothing to do with the Sridevi - Shatrughan Sinha film. Directed by Amit Masurkar (of Newton fame), the movie features Vidya Balan as a forest officer. Let's... see.
