Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Aulad belongs to the 'maternal melodrama' wave of 80s Hindi cinema, where biological vs. adoptive motherhood became battlefield for anxieties about changing family structures and female economic independence.
Sridevi and Jaya Prada were real-life rivals for top heroine status; director Vijay Sadanah reportedly cast them together specifically to weaponize their off-screen tension.
