What happens
Himmatwala (transl. 'The brave one') is a 1983 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film directed by K. Raghavendra Rao. The film stars Jeetendra and Sridevi in the lead roles, with G. A. Seshagiri Rao producing under the Padmalaya Studios banner and Krishna presenting the film. It is a remake of the 1981 Telugu film Ooruki Monagadu, which was also directed by Raghavendra Rao and starred Krishna. Upon release, Himmatwala became a massive commercial success, grossing ₹5 crore and emerging as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the 1980s. The film marked a breakthrough for Sridevi in Hindi cinema, propelling her to stardom. Her performance in the popular song "Naino Mein Sapna" was widely appreciated, with Rediff noting that while the water pots dominated the frames, it was Sridevi's bejeweled outfits and headgear that captivated the audience.
