Sridevi in Sadma

Sridevi in Sadma 

In a rather revealing and introspective interview, actor Kamal Haasan said the story of the film is a rework of the personal tragedies the director himself faced in his short and doomed marriage.  Which really makes this movie a bigger gut-punch than it should be... 

Sridevi was a teen when she did this mature performance. As an ardent admirer, it shocks me till date that Kamal walked away with all the awards when its Sridevi carrying the film.

 Just after the yet-another-rain-song-and-dance routine. But it was one of the more pleasant numbers in the movie, Jaanewale zara ruk ja.

Sridevi and Kamal Haasan in Vaazhvey Maayam

Gangai Amaran’s music, lyrics by Vaali, you might not have seen the film, but you know all the songs.  

With Kamal Haasan, Sridevi and Sripriya leading the cast, the Tamil hit Vaazhvey Maayam was a remake of Premabhishekam. Sridevi reprised her role from the original and worked on both.  

The movie has... good lord, a lot of plot. See the story description on Wikipedia - its as long as Wuthering Heights. 

The film has great SP songs.

Sridevi and Kamal Haasan in the classic Sigappu Rojakkal (1978)

Shot in just 30 days, when Sridevi was 15-16, this thriller was a surprise hit as a film on a serial killer with Tamil film industry's definitive leading man was unprecedented; an unheroic leading man. Kamal Haasan went on to win one of his many (many!) Best Actor awards. Sridevi was neglected yet again by the jury.
