Sridevi's blue lenses in Nigahein (1989)

The costumes, the lenses...

Sridevi on the sets of Nagina: Cover of Movie Jagan magazine

The internet killed off so many magazines, every year I discover a title, only to hear it has long shut shop. Like this Hindi film magazine, Movie Jagan. RIP the Hindi tabloid... 

Sridevi on the sets of Nagina. She looked so beautiful in the film and acted so well.

Shantanu Sheorey photography. The ace photographer captures Sridevi in a rather unique style. The wet hair, the lenses, the white shirt...  

Check out the archive of images that Shantanu shot for Filmfare (and Times of India group) here.

Her only sequel and personally a fan of the film despite its lukewarm box-office, have seen gorgeous Sridevi's songs and dances several times. She was great as usual. 

Released 34 years today, remembering the film fondly. We have over 38 posts, over 100 pics of Sridevi and Sunny Deol in the film here.

Sridevi in Nagin: The fake blue lenses

Oh that 80s cake-y makeup. And yet, Sridevi looks so stunning. A stellar performance in the mega-hit Nagina. A role rejected by Jaya Prada, no one predicted this fantasy thriller would do so exceptionally well at the box-office and be a benchmark for the Naagin trope...

Sridevi and Sunny Deol

From the song Kise dhoondhta hai.... Sridevi and Sunny Deol in Nigahein (1989). The duo did six films together in the 1980s and yet famously did not get along. Sunny Deol said that apart from the casual Hi, Hellos, the two barely spoke though they did nearly half-a-dozen movies together. But being the professionals, they didn't let that reflect anywhere in their movies.

In this sequel to Nagina, Nigahein did not do great business compared to its predecessor. However, as many box-office analysts said, there was no way the film could have recreated box-office history the way Nagina did.

Sridevi looked, acted and danced beautifully. A lot trimmer than she was back in 1985, her finale dance number is stunning. Defo worth a watch.

In fact, in every song in this film, Sridevi looks gorgeous - look for the superhero scene where Sridevi stops a bullet with her bare hands. Forget Krrish, Sri was the first marvel-ous movie-star and superheroine!
