The agony and eustasy of Judaai (1997): Sridevi dominates

 

The agony and eustasy of Judaai (1997): Sridevi dominates the publicity stills and posters of the movie - as was common in many a Sridevi (esp one produced by Boney Kapoor!) film. 

Sridevi's career on pause in 97 could have been predicted. She stopped signing films earlier despite lucrative offers, started returning signing amounts to major films and took a 'pregnant' pause to an otherwise stellar career that saw the ups and downs of box-office and favour as all part of her lengthy stride. 

Sridevi fans in 1997 had a lot of defensive responses ready for Sri that year but she went out with a double whammy, box-office success and critical acclaim. Once an icon, forever an icon. Despite the slings and barbs of many an armchair critic.
