In January of 1988, MOVIE magazine looked back at the year that was 1987 and, yet again, Sridevi was on top of the box-office pile. With 9 film releases that year (in Telugu and Hindi films), Sridevi was playing the long game of working non-stop, having multiple film releases and hedging her bets that one or the other was going to work. The quality... suffered. She was a victim of her own success. And to be fair, the 80s was not kind to anyone.
As y'all know, I, and really most Bollywood watchers, are not huge fans of 1980s Hindi cinema - it certainly wasn't the golden era, more of a faux bronze patina age. Soooooo many bad films, music, magazines, pictures, outfits, styling, wigs... Obviously, with a few notable exceptions.
