Sridevi with her most-talked about co-star, Mithun.
Their first film together - and the best in the list - Jaag Utha Insan. 1984. Sridevi was 21, Mithun was 34 and twice married already. Famously falling for his co-stars...
This gen has no idea how big a superstar Disco Dancer Mithun was back then. Now age 76, he shines like the legendary actor he is in films like Guru (by Mani Rathnam), or OMG... unfortunately, he did too many B- C- films that are tagged with his legacy. But not man saw those films, but remember his best performances, not his weak box-office.
So much has been written and said about Sridevi and Mithun... that we no longer wish to add further dialogue to the conversation.
3/4ths of their films were superhits. Sad that their best film together, this gem by K Vishwanath, did the worst box-office out of the lot. 80s was a bane on Bollywood in many ways. Some fine films got swept under the rug.
