Dubbed from the Telugu hit, 'Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari'. This is a fantasy film wherein Sri is the Devi (Daughter of Lord Vishnu). She wishes to come to the earth with her friends. Her wish is granted. She goes to the Himalayas. Over there, Chiranjeevi comes to collect the Ayurvedic medicine (he is a human being). He collects the medicine and a precious ring and goes back to his native place. Sridevi is not allowed to enter the gate of Heaven. Reason: She has lost the ring. (Did you get that?) She is made to go back, take the human form (with all magic powers she has) and advised to get back with the ring and get back within a said time. She comes into Chiru's life. Chiru stays with 4 children (Baby Shalini, Shyamili amongst them) and a doggie for company! Sri does not succeed in getting the ring from Chiru's finger. Amrish Puri (Tantrik) gets to know that Sri is not an ordinary human being. And as he sniffed in Nagina and got to know that she is a snake woman, ditto - here, he gets to know she is a Goddess! He traps her. Chiru comes to the rescue and finally, Sri gives up her angelic powers and feathers and stays back on earth. The film directed by K Raghavendra Rao was a huge success in Telugu and did moderate well in its Hindi version too. The original Dhak Dhak karne laga from Beta was taken from this film - which went - Abbanee Theeyanni Dhabba in Telugu and what an awesome song and gorgeous Devi..
You wont believe, I have seen this film umpteen number of times and is still my favorite.

One little correction- sri is Indraja- Indra's daughter not Vishnu's.
