Leela Mishra, Sridevi and Kamal Haasan in Sadma
The most comprehensive fan blog dedicated to India's most beautiful and greatest actress of all-time (in our humble opine!), Sridevi. Sridevi aka Sreedevi, ruled Indian cinema (with awesome performances in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films) in a career spanning 50 incredible years featuring 266 films. Born in Sivakasi on August 13 1963, her untimely and tragic death on February 24, 2018 left a nation in mourning. In our hearts, she'll forever be, the eternal Queen of Bollywood.

Sadma (1983): Sridevi and Kamal Haasan's enduring tragedy
Sridevi and Kamal Haasan in Sadma (1983). We post this as Sridevi just tweeted an image from the film, reminding us viewers and fans that the Hindi film Sadma [Trauma] was released... 30 years ago today!
Upon re-viewing it (as in watching it again for the n'th time, not reviewing the film!), the profoundness of the film, its performances, the music, direction, characterisation, and the bitter-sweet tragedy of it all, is overwhelming. You are left bereft of breath by the end of it - spoiler alert.
As Sholay, the most beloved Hindi film of all-time, went mostly unrewarded (in the award and trophy department!), Sadma garnered very few awards too (none for Sridevi, we might add and highlight as its so shocking!), though it is easily seen as one of the best films ever made. We just don't understand why whoever the governing body at these awards functions are, are so myopic. Historically!
