Gorgeous Sridevi on the sets of Pathar ke Insan

 

Stunning Sridevi on the sets of the (awful film) Pathar ke Insan (1990). Though Vinod Khanna had the title role, it was Sridevi's show all the way (a trend media noted often be it Mr.India, Laadla...etc

Fresh off the success of the double whammy of Chandni and Chaalbaaz that capped the 80s, Sridevi stepped into the 90s with three missteps; she tripped from her dizzying climb with three back-to-back flops that were critically beaten as well; Pathar Ke Insan, Naaka Bandi and Farishtay. All three were completely written off (although by the end of the year, it was noted that Naaka Bandi and Farishtay recuperated costs and actually made money despite dismal reviews). With Lamhe, she was the darling of the critics again and Yash Raj films got the first dibs on the vast potential of the NRI market. 

Every film and flop of Sridevi's had one or two redeeming factors, Naaka Bandi had moments of comic relief and fun songs, Pathar ke Insaan, Sridevi danced up a storm and looked like a dream, and Farishtay... well, it made money. It's show 'business' after all...
