What was so special about Sridevi's appeal? - Page 2

She was a brilliant actress and her dancing was brilliant. I am not a massive fan though

I have not seen many of her films I saw the film with salman & the film where srk dies & the film with Rishi thats about it she has that screen presence & charm

again a nice topic for discussion erotic.... 😊

Coming to the topic... Why just Lamhe.... most of teh movies of those times if watched now we will find it tacky... the other day I was watching Maine pyar kiya... and i fast forwarded it... could not sit thru it... and it was my most fav movie once upon a time...

 

I think there are very few movies that can stand the test of time and be evergreen to watch....

 

Coming to Sridevi and Madhuri... they were never competitors... Sri's peak was in the mid to late 80's and Madhuri's was in the early to mid 90's....

 

Both were amazing actresses... since i grew up watching Madhuri... I prefer her...but definitely Sridevi had a massive fan following in those times... and unlike today those were the times when there was just a monopoly of one actress at a certain time with absolutely no competion... so definitely madhuri and Sridevi benifitted because of that too..

Sridevi's appeal is undeniable.
But she was hit or miss throughout her career.
I'd compare her to the present with Aishwarya Rai.
An undoubtedly applauded star - but also a quite patchy film career.

Sridevi's voice and mannersisms are what make her "special".
Lamhe is one of her best roles.

When it comes to the inevitable Madhuri comparison - I'd pick Mads for sure.

Sridevi could act and thats what matters.

ALright for South, she literally grew up infront of the cameras

She has been facing cameras for a pretty long time
I think this was when she was 5

again, she has amazing screen presence. Her accent might put a few people off but I think there can be no sensual song better than kaate nahin kat the😆 SHe had an excellent comic timing! COuld play a selfish wife awesomly well! SHe is versatile! Inspite of the roles handed out to her, her performances stick out really well! Oh and I really think she gossiped less than most of the current crop of actresses

I agree Maduri is better. Haven't seen anything great sridevi did. Most of the film I have seen her in she either went OTT with her acting or she was just good not that great performance. She is def overrated. But she is good looking though. She has beautiful eyes. Beautiful hair. I think she is sexy too.

Sri devi's spontaneity and energy was amazing... and voice modulation and body langauge and gestures.. were a sight to see. Specially in comedies like chaalbaaz.. damn you could just look at her.. forever.. she was always in commotion.. her energy is very hard to describe in words..and she did all that without going OTT.. with the added touch of innocence..I have watched a lot of her movies.. with Anil kapoor.. Mr india, .. judai where she sells anil kapoor for 1 crores to urmila was hilarious..Sadmaa is a clasic.. Lamhe is one of the most magical movies ever.. i specially loved how she played the role of the daughter..her chemistry with Anil kapoor and Kamal hassan was the best.
