Sridevi in English Vinglish: The Sabya sari in blue

 Like an orchestra reaching a crescendo, how this light-hearted scene went from a gentle awkwardness - to full trauma is a testament to great writing, direction and a long single take performance by this... maestro... 

Indian cinema constantly rewards her stars for the big scene, the big weep, the explosive monologues, the soul-crushing devastation... But that gentle crackle of a woman's self-esteem done with such blue sari-clad ease... it takes a thespian like Sridevi to essay it. 

A fan for life.

Sridevi.
