38 years of Mawaali: Sridevi, Jaya Prada and Jeetendra's Blockbuster of the 80s!
In the post me too and woke world, its a hugely problematic film; the casual acceptance and celebration of eve-teasing and treatment of women in general. The only consolation, its so tame and the intentions were not to harm (the reception another matter).
Movie was a huge hit in \83 - one of many for the Sridevi - Jeetendra combo. The songs are super fun and Sridevi looks soooo cute in the movie.
Though the leads were obvious, shout out to Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor and Aruna Irani for providing comic relief and a villainous turn whenever the role demanded.
