The most comprehensive fan blog dedicated to India's most beautiful and greatest actress of all-time (in our humble opine!), Sridevi. Sridevi aka Sreedevi, ruled Indian cinema (with awesome performances in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films) in a career spanning 50 incredible years featuring 266 films. Born in Sivakasi on August 13 1963, her untimely and tragic death on February 24, 2018 left a nation in mourning. In our hearts, she'll forever be, the eternal Queen of Bollywood.
Released on 4 May 1984, Sridevi was 21 and part of the Jeetendra-Sridevi Madras movie making machinery that churned out about 16 films in five years! It was such a hightly productive time that when you look at a still from that time period, you can't tell which look is from which film with any immediacy.
Akalmand (1984) is the fifth film in the Jeetendra–Sridevi filmography and sadly (for the producers) one of the few turkeys in their filmography. Akalmand was a flop and did not rank among the top box office films of 1984. It was overshadowed by Tohfa, Maqsad, and Sharaabi, which were the year’s biggest successes. The movie's status did little to affect their ranks as the flops were easily dismissed as the hits were so huge!
Jeetendra–Sridevi pairing: 16 films total (1983–1988).
Hits vs flops: 13 hits, 3 flops.
Akalmand’s position: Released in 1984, it was their 5th collaboration.
Film details: Directed by N.S. Raj Bharath, starring Jeetendra as Dr. Kiran and Sridevi as Priya.
