Sridevi Animated: On Himmatwala



Wow!!

With English Vinglish having a renaissance in cinema halls around the globe since its initial release back in 2012, it has been widely reported how well received the gem of movie was in Japan. After drawing parallels with southern superstar Rajnikant and his unprecedented popularity in the far-east, Japanese fans of Sridevi have drawn not only inspiration from her, but drawn her in a signature anime fashion.

A glimpse of Sridevi and Jeetendra from their hay-day, Sridevi's first superhit (one of many that followed) song/film combo (Nainon mein sapna from Himmatwala, 1983) has been captured in a single frame oh-so-adorably! We love it. Don't you?!



UPDATE: Another fan sketch from Japan as "Madam in New York" i.e. the Japanese dubbed version of English Vinglish, conquers hearts of a new cine-loving audience.





We love this impression of Sridevi... reminds us of the drawing style of beloved Indian cartoonist R.K.Laxman.
