Sridevi in Feroz Khan's Jaanbaaz: An Adult Film that was a huge hit in 1986

Released on 20 June 1986, Sridevi's extended guest appearance in Feroz Khan's Jaanbaaz was a surprise hit. She had an incredible song in the film, the profoundly lyrical Har kisi ko nahin milta, sung by the mellifluous Sadhana Sargam (a favourite singer) and Manhar Udhas.  

Legend has it that the picturisation of the song, Sridevi in monochrome chiffon saris seductively swaying at the beach, influenced the production and picturisation of the song Kate Nahin Kathe in Mr.India, which released a year later. According to online features (again, not a reliable source but...)  originally, the seductive song on Sridevi was going to be shot in some Arabic costumes but changed entirely after the team saw how gorgeously, and simply shot Har kisi ko was. This could be pure internet speculation, but then there is some similarity in styling. The red, then all white fabric swaying with Sridevi with minimal accessories is an inspired look in Mr.India too... Either way, Sridevi rocked both songs with such unfiltered sensuality, proving that you can be covered head to toe, and still be considered sexy. 

An "Adult Film" that was a huge hit in 1986, the movie came with the usual bandwagon of controversies... 

But you know Bollywood; a hit is a hit, is a hit. 

Trying to find photos of the movie premiere but so far, nothing has cropped up - a film that featured reigning queens Rekha, Sridevi and Dimple Kapadia all in one film... what a casting coup!
