Sridevi: Queen of the Title Role: Bollywood's Ultimate Leading Lady and her unprecedented 11 Title Roles

 











Correct me if I'm wrong, but probably not, but Sridevi had more title roles as a leading lady than any of her contemporaries, competitors, predecessors and successors. Off the top of our head, well, from our comprehensive site anyway, Sridevi's most memorable title roles are;

  1. Nagina (1986)
  2. Sherni (1988)
  3. Nigahein (1989)
  4. Chaalbaaz (1989)
  5. Chandni (1989)
  6. Banjaran (1991)
  7. Heer Ranjha (1992)
  8. Roop ki Rani, Choron ka Raja (1993)
  9. Chandra Mukhi (1993)
  10. Chaand kaa Tukdaa (1994)
  11. Mom (2017)

And this doesn't even include her Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam films. If anyone would like to help out with that, pls list below!

Sridevi and Kamal Haasan in the classic Sigappu Rojakkal (1978)

Shot in just 30 days, when Sridevi was 15-16, this thriller was a surprise hit as a film on a serial killer with Tamil film industry's definitive leading man was unprecedented. Kamal Haasan went on to win one of his many (many!) Best Actor awards.

MOVIE magazine's little dig at Sridevi's quote about Lamhe doing well...

As we all know, Sridevi had a fantastic sense of humour, and she would have lol'd at this too. So a throwback to MOVIE magazine's caricature on a famous Sridevi quote.
