She then acted with Vijay in the Tamil fantasy 'Puli' before her final film, the thriller 'Mom', produced by her husband Boney Kapoor. The film travelled to international festivals and spawned a clutch of lookalikes in other languages. Her popularity in Bollywood later brought her back to Telugu in 1988 where she went on to do 'Aakhari Poratam', 'Jagadeka Veerudu Atiloka Sundari' and 'Kshana Kshanam' opposite the leading Tollywood men of the day.Īfter her 15- year break, Sridevi was back in Gauri Shinde's 'English Vinglish' (2012) as the homemaker who goes to learn English but instead discovers her identity. She also starred in a few Malayalam films, including 'Thulavarsham' before her northern sojourn.
'Sigappu Rojakkal' and 'Varumayin Niram Sigappu' established her as a hit pair with Kamal Haasan. She went on to do a clutch of films as a child artiste before her first major role in 'Moondru Mudichu'. Remakes and dubbed versions of these and others hits like 'Premabishekham' had already made her a big name in the industries of Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.īorn Shree Amma Yanger Ayyapan, Sridevi started acting at the age of four as Tamil deity Lord Murugan in Thunaivan. Long before she became 'Thunder Thighs' and 'Hawa Hawaii' and 'Chandni,' Sridevi was the baby-faced Mayil of '16 Vayadhinile' - and Viji of 'Moondram Pirai'. While she was charting success in Hindi, Sridevi's audiences in the south missed her. There was Mahesh Bhatt's 'Gumrah' opposite Sanjay Dutt, and 'Laadla', and then her big hurrah in 'Judaai' where she played a woman who sold her family for money. With Madhuri Dixit now taking central stage, Sridevi still continued to spring a few big releases.
'Khuda Gawah' opposite Amitabh Bachchan, a heroic romance set on the other side of the Khyber pass still remains one of the most famous films in Afghanistan. Her next Yash Raj film 'Lamhe' won critical acclaim by testing limits of boldness acceptable in popular cinema, and made her a star in overseas markets. Apart from the songs, the romantic saga was mostly about Sridevi in her ethereally-white, salwar kurtas. Yash Chopra's 'Chandni' gave her iconic status and crowned her standing as the biggest female actor of the 80s. If Sridevi rode across the Vindhyas initially on southern productions, she was lifted to the next level by mega houses of Mumbai. She showed she also had comic timing - which any actor would swear is the most difficult bit - and went on to prove it again in later films like 'Roop ki Rani Choron ka Raja' that sunk miserably at the box office. With 'Chaalbaaz' she became one of the rare Indian heroines to do a double role, playing diverse characters and underlining that her claim to her rising fame was not just sprightly expressions and sensuous dance numbers. Her talented Charlie Chaplin sequence in the film was eclipsed by the dance number 'Hawa Hawaii', and earned the actress one of her many sobriquets. She played an eccentric crime reporter and stole screen-space from co-star Anil Kapoor so much that trade journals joked it should have been called Miss India. One of her most famous films, ' Mr India', was released in 1987. She broke the trend with the snake fantasy 'Nagina', which not only stayed on as one of the top movies of the genre but the song 'main tera dushman' set major gyration goals for other 'ichhadhaari naagins' to follow.
'Tohfa' was released in 1985, 'Mawaali', 'Maqsad' and 'Justice Chaudhry' followed.

The mid-80s then saw a torrent of Sridevi films, some of them with Jumping Jack Jeetendra, which led to film magazines of the time concluding that she was unquestionably India's female star. Sridevi, audiences found, could not just dance, she could act too. The same year saw the remake of another Tamil superhit, Balu Mahendra's 'Sadma', in which she played opposite Kamal Haasan, the challenging role of a child-woman suffering from amnesia. She starred opposite Jeetendra in 'Himmatwala' (1983) which became one of the biggest blockbusters of the year and made people take notice of the southern beauty with twinkle steps and dreams in her eyes. Its limited success meant that it would be four years before the north saw Sridevi again. Hinille' hardly failed to make the mark the original it had done in Tamil but it brought to Bollywood a fresh female face - Sridevi.
