One of the finest film-based shows on TV, Sridevi sparkled with Anupama Chopra and Gauri Shinde on The Front Row on Star World. The always articulate host mentions that there isn't even "a hint of rust": in Sridevi's stellar performance, a performance that shimmered on screen after a self-imposed 15-year hiatus.
Our only minor grievance, Ms Chopra should have given the film a better rating considering how much she (and others) have praised the film and its "triumphant" lead.
