Sridevi in Moondru Mudichu (1976)
All of age 13, I finally saw the film on YouTube. A sophisticated performance by a precocious ingenue. It's staggering how talented she was and as a thirteen-year-old! There are several integral plot points where young Sri shine - when she has to explain her marriage to an older man, she's so expressive, all those emotions, the quivering lip, the tear-filled eyes...
What Alia Bhatt's doing at age 29, Sri had already done as a teen. Perhaps one of the reasons most Sridevi fans aren't going gaga over Bhatt-Kapoor as frantically as others are. We've seen it all before.
