This has to be one of the greatest losses Indian cinema has ever faced; something that we never saw coming so soon. Actress Sridevi took her last breath last night in Dubai, where she was attending the wedding of relative Mohit Marwah. Such is life's irony, that her iconic film 'Himmatwala' marks its 35th anniversary today.

Released on 25th February 1983, 'Himmatwala' is just another evidence of Sridevi's versatility as a performer. She not only assimilated the multi-layered character of Rekha Bandookwala perfectly, but nailed it as well.

Although Sridevi made her debut as lead actress with 'Solva Sawan' in 1978, it was 'Himmatwala' with which she rose to actual fame. This followed with series of successful films including 'Tohfa', 'Maqsad', 'Mr. India' and 'Chandni' to name a few.
