ChaalBaaz (Devnagari: चाल बाज़ English: Cunning) is a 1989 Bollywood film directed by Pankaj Parashar, starring Sridevi, Sunny Deol, Rajnikanth and Anupam Kher.
The film was a big success primarily owing to the star-status of Sridevi. The actress had already become the top Bollywood star of the eighties and the film only reaffirmed her popularity and fan following. Sridevi's performance in the film completely overshadowed the male actors and till date remains a dream role for many present-day actresses
