Sridevi in and as Banjaran (The Gypsy): Bollywood icon in yet another title role





Sridevi in and as Banjaran - yet another title role and a double role for the Queen of Bollywood. Released on 8 November 1991, we have read mixed reports about the success of the film. 

Distinctively remember the movie not meeting expectations and was deemed a flop at the box-office in the early 90s.  

However, now reports online claim it was a hit - but with unnamed sources. The trouble with Wikipedia (and that's a whole other can of worms) is it can be (and often is) edited by randoms. No verifiable sources and information. 

However, if the fandom is to be believed or the record views on YouTube to the film's songs and dances - with over a billion views! - then clearly, the movie has its own cult following. 

Producer and director Harmesh Malhotra's favourite was Sridevi and vice versa.
