Jackie Shroff turns 68 today. We wish the OG Jaggu Dada the best.

Sridevi's not-so-frequent co-star, they appeared  in only six films together. He only has kind things to say about Sridevi and said the only reason they didn't work more often as she was too expensive for the film producers he most frequently collaborated with!

Sridevi inspired by Madonna's look in Who's that Girl?

 

We've posted an early mini feature on Sridevi looking at the West for inspiration for the song Raste Main Woh Khada Tha, a fan pointed out the similarity between Madonna's look in Who's that Girl? (1987), to Sridevi's brief look in Tera Beemar Mera Dil... also in the film Chaalbaaz (1989). 

I see it. Do you?!

Some stills from the most beloved children's film / fantasy / thriller in the history of Indian cinema, the Hindi blockbuster, Mr. India (1987).

Rare pics of the publicity shots Sridevi and Anil Kapoor did for the film below. Anil Kapoor had ONE look in the entire film - and he was dressing on brand for the publicity of the film - which is trending now! He was ahead of the game...
