Sridevi, the first female superstar, who ruled the cine world of India for a few decades, was a learner throughout her life!

As a little kid, Sridevi was playing around in the laps of legends, only mildly aware of their stature. Which made acting with them quite literally a child’s play for her. She was watching them closely and, after a few years, acted with them, only to dominate them with her talent!! We lost a great actress, it is an irreplaceable loss.

Let us celebrate her illustrious career, full of impressive achievements!

Happy Birthday🎂 Sridevi

I Used To Watch Her Movies Too

Happy Birthday Sridevi and Vyjayanthimala

Thanks for the thread

This is a very interesting legend ....

No instruction or guidance, no dance master, the director called her to act for that song, where she has to explain the weird ways of a telephone to her grandmother, describing it as a devil that does so many amazing things!!

Sridevi - gone too soon! Such a bundle of talent!

Vyjayanthimala - the essence of grace and beauty.

Amazing that these two South Indian icons were born on the same day!

Vyjayanthimala's dancing was a treat to watch. She did so much with so little. Watch her Bagad bam bam from Kathputli. She is fire in that one! And even in her more famous dances like Hoton mein aisi baat - the way she makes her waist sway so slightly, that economy of movement.. that is what is missing these days. I love watching her dance. Her performance in Madhumati isn't talked about enough. I think she didn't get enough credit as an actress - her dancing seemed to overshadow her acting but she was amazing nonetheless.

Sridevi - what to say about her? What a complete performer she was! You couldn't take your eyes off the screen when she was on it. Her comic timing has been talked about a lot, but not enough imo. Her Chaplin sequence in Mr. India? Genius! I know she gets made fun of for her accent and her voice, but I can overlook all of that because her acting? It's just wow! Lamhe - another brilliant performance from her. Those scenes where she and Anupam Kher team up & do crazy shenanigans makes me crack up every time. And the last scene where she lets Viren have it - questioning him why he cares if she married someone else, the myriad expressions she brings in that scene!

Of course Sadma is considered her tour de force but I have always felt it's more Kamal's movie than hers, for me..Lamhe, Chaalbaaz and Mr. India stand out among her performances.

What are your favorite Sridevi and Vyjayanthimala movies?

Sridevi was so so so talented
