Not her best film or performance - but she looked exquisite in every frame...

Rekha in Silsila: Perfection

Sanjeev Kumar, 43, and Rekha, 26, in Silsila. 

Sanjeev Kumar, one of the greatest Indian actors of all-time, in his extended cameo in the memorable film. So adept in comedy, tragedy, high stakes drama, his natural dialogue delivery... a legend in his own time who did it all. 

The same can be said of Rekha... she really is a flawless actress. It's only her fashion that needed curtailing in the late 80s - the excess of it... But as a performer, she can do no wrong.

Though originally written off as a flop - when you look at statistics like the budget of a film and how much money it made - well, then, this was a hit. 

Aishwarya looks crazy beautiful in the movie obviously... and dances like a dream.
