Sridevi at the premiere of Khuda Gawah

Released on 8 May 1992, there was no bigger film in the 90s than Khuda Gawah -- a movie meant to be seen ONLY on the BIG screen.  We have so many features and images from the film in the archive here.

The premiere was phenomenal - god bless Lehrein Retro for this clip - but its so odd that there isn't a SINGLE shot of Sridevi at her own film's premiere!!! WHY? What happened. Of course we know she was there - there are dozens of photos (like the two above) -- as Sridevi attended the event with her mother. She was on stage with her co-stars, choreographer Saroj Khan and so on. Perhaps she didn't sign off on the release with Lehrein? If anyone knows, kindly let us know below.

Sridevi in and as Malini Iyer (2004): Sridevi's only sitcom. 

The Kapoors were going through some financial situation that we'd all like to forget about, and Sridevi, 41, returned to the screen with this one-off season in a memorable show on the now-defunct Sahara channel. 

It started off well, with superb ratings for the first ever telecast, then poor writing, shoddy editing and failure-to-launch gags tanked the rushed comedy. It has its moments and Sridevi sure as heck looked great, but couldn't stop this ship from sinking. Oh well... 

The fleeting memories of this are fun. You can find clips on YouTube.

Sridevi at TIFF 2012

 

When Sridevi took to the stage during TIFF 2012... 

Starting today, the Toronto Film Festival 2024 will kick off. Reminded of the return of Sridevi that took place during the festival and wowed one and all as Sridevi, more than anyone, got near-universal acclaim. 

FYI: Tiff 2024 is from Mon, Jan 15, 2024 – Sun, Jan 21, 2024.
