Released on March 17, 1994, today is Laadla's 27th anniversary. Though she didn't have the title role, though it had 90s 'it' gal Raveena Tandon, though it had Anil Kapoor with the long misogynistic monologues... all people remember about that movie is Sridevi's performance.
Its a divisive performance; some people loved it, the finger-wagging "You better Understand" definitely played to the gallery, the constant repetition of the catch phrase was popular on one hand.... On the other, its a bit OTT. Well, it's really over-the-top. In the wake of the subtle perfection of Lamhe, reviews were decidedly mixed.
What wasn't mixed - the box-office reception; it was the seventh biggest hit of 1994.
