Sridevi and Rajinikanth in Johnny (1980)
Excerpt From Film Companion:
"Johnny is a conman. But what occupies his life is music. Right in the first scene, Johnny is recording the folk songs of the hills. And till the end, the love for music guides him. He admires and adores Archana, a lonely singer with a magical voice played extraordinarily by Sridevi...
Johnny is also a film that tells us why Sridevi is well, Sridevi. It is easily one of her lifetime best roles. In the entire film she has only three-four pages of dialogue, none cinematic. Yet, how she scores! Sridevi speaks more with her unsaid words. She expresses her emotional trauma convincingly, not by creating a ruckus but merely by holding back tears. Archana is the soul of Johnny, and Sridevi gives life to Archana."
