Real vs Fake: Sridevi's truth, a fan's deception




 Real vs Fake: Sridevi's truth, a fan's deception. Why? When the original pic was fine as it was - and the costume was from a film, not Sri's real life... 

Even the images that are enhanced... overfilled with colour... its just odd when the original was just fine..

37 years of Aulad: Jeetendra, Sridevi combo's 80s blockbuster

Released 37 years ago, Aulad was the 6th biggest hit of the year 1987. The magical alchemy of Sridevi, Jeetendra and Jaya Prada, it was a melodrama, soap-operatic  musical with the biggest stars of their time. One of the last few films Sri did with Jeetendra, and the last one with arch nemesis Jaya Prada. 

Before the avalanche Indian soap operas and multiple channels, movies like this did well.
