Sridevi in costume for Masterji

Sridevi in costume for Masterji (1985).

One of the most controversial films that sparked a debate in Bollywood about the direction of Hindi cinema. Suggestive songs and dances, camera angles, double-meaning dialogues (out of the mouth of Rajesh Khanna) and near-universal bad reviews--irrelevant as the film was a huge hit. 

Sridevi took the critique to heart-- and changed her persona on the big-screen soon after. 

More in the archive here about what was said, what happened, and the grand shift that led to the beginning of superstar Sridevi.
