Released on 11 Apr 1997, the trhiller/murder-mystery Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhootha was the last film of Sridevi with Rishi Kapoor. 

Our massive archive of images, features and reviews on the film here.

 

Beautiful Sridevi's could-have-been swansong KSKJ!

Released on 11 April 1997, technically, the murder-mystery-thriller Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhootha was the last film Sridevi appeared in before her long, self-imposed hiatus before she returned to films via English Vinglish. Judaai released 28 February 1997, is remembered more as it was a much bigger box-office hit.

While watching the film for the first time, was glued to the seat, as we really didn't know where the story was taking us, with lots of turns and red herrings. 

The last film Sridevi did with Rishi Kapoor, the movie had its moments... but not enough for a repeat audience. The movie does well on OTT, its a good home watch if you don't know who-did-it! 

Goes without saying, but in certain parts of the ilm, particularly this song, Sridevi looks staggeringly beautiful and is easily the most graceful dancer that ever lived - especially in a flowing yellow sari.

Released on 11 April 1997, technically this was the last film Sridevi did before she took her self-imposed hiatus of 14-15 years. But Judaai (released earlier in Feb) was the one most people remember as the movie was such a huge hit. 

While watching the thriller, a film filled with red herrings, not many guessed who did it in this who dunnit! Sridevi's glamourous therapist look! 

The film had two gorgeous song and dance routines. Sad that this was the last film together of two Indian icons; Rishi Kapoor and Sridevi. 

Remembering the film today on its 27th anniversary.

Though many writers and bloggers wrote that Judaai was Sridevi's last film before she took her long break... it wasn't. It was her last hit for sure. 

Judaai was released on 28 February 1997, but a few months later, Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhootha was released on 11 April 1997 (and the less said the better about Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin released on 2 July 2004!). 

Not many remember the last film Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor did together - it had a very tepid response by critics and audiences alike (although a TV scribe pointed out that the murder mystery always does well in TRP ratings when telecast). 

A friend pointed out that we were too pedantic, too much policing about information about Sridevi - but with so many inaccuracies and wild falsehoods spread like a virus about the late actress, the least we can do is get a few facts straight. So we are adamant about her number of films - its not 300 - about her awards - no she didn't win for Sadma... and something as seemingly trivial as Judaai was her last film before she went on hiatus! 

The trouble with the net is, opinion substitutes for fact. Which we just can't abide by.We can honour the actress by simple truths. Her legend can stand up to it.

Released on 11 April 1997, technically this was Sridevi's last film before she took her long self-imposed sabbatical. (Judaai was released February 28, 1997!).

The yellow chiffon sari look. 

Sri's devi-ous plan

DEVI DOESN'T GIVE DARSHAN OF THE MONTH: Recently Sridevi, accompanied by designer manish Malhotra, went shopping all over Bombay, including the busy Fashino Street, Linking Road and Kala Niketan. But she wore a burkha to avoid being mobbed.
