Surprising songs of Sridevi that now have over 100 million views on YouTube!
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.

Asha Bhosle sings for Sridevi: The Definitive Listicle: Remembering the legend
Just heard earlier today that the legend Aasha Bhosle passed away in the early hours of the morning, at the age of 92. Strong innings and a legacy long-established, read the news with a sigh - timeless Aasha tai seemed immortal and yet the day has come...
Instead of mourning her loss, we are celebrating Asha Bhosle's timeless musical contribution. While others can try and encapsulate her Guiness-record-number of recorded songs, we are only looking here at Aasha Bhosle's contribution to Sridevi's films! We are rewinding the cassette tape to listen to this magical combo; the legendary, distinct and iconic voice of Aasha Bhosle and the on-screen song and dance antics of the great Sridevi!
Ashaji's versatile voice—playful, seductive, cheeky, and emotional—perfectly matched Sridevi's range from bubbly dances to seductive rain songs. A list of Hindi songs (primarily picturised on Sridevi), starting from the early 1980s era onward, in chronological order by film release year.
The table mirrors the structure of our earlier post, the Lata Mangeshkar list, for easy comparison: numbering, song title, film, year, music director, lyricist, singers.

Sridevi's Telugu Music Director wins Golden Globe for Best Music: Congratulations M. M. Keeravani
M. M. Keeravani has always been a musical genius - we knew since the early 90s. He composed music in two Sridevi films; the impeccable album Deva Raagam (1996) and Kshana Kshanam
In other films, he made lovely songs (in an era of screaming cacophony) that were gentle and soothing to hear on the headphone like Chup Tum Raho and of course, Tum Mile Dil Khile... It was indeed Criminal that he didn't find more pan-Indian recognition. Until now.

Re-makes and Re-Takes: Sridevi songs re-jiged for the new age: Inferior reproductions of original compositions
These songs and dances are not only evergreen classics but acts that stand witness to the supreme entertainer that Sridevi is.
No wonder there's a sudden spurt of remaking and remixing some of her most famous numbers by film-makers now.
While it is practically impossible to recreate the magic Sridevi created on screen, which of these recent remakes of her songs did you enjoy the most? And the least?!
HAWA HAWAI
Original: Mr India, 1987
Re-make: Shaitan, 2012
Every legend of Bollywood must have one definitive solo song that is remembered for ages. Sridevi was lucky to get more than one in films like Nagina, Chandni, Chaalbaaz and Lamhe. But when she shimmered down in a golden gown crooning 'Bijli girane main hoon ayi, Kehte hein mujhko Hawa Hawai' in the all-time hit Mr. India, you knew this was going to be historic. You also know why people said that the film should have been called Miss India. Hawa Hawai is vintage Sridevi with expressions and movements only she can do. (Watch the line 'Soorat hi maine aisi paai') The song was superbly remixed in club-house style with a deliciously raspy voice by Suman Sridhar in the dark drama Shaitan starring Kalki Koechlin in 2012. Sridevi and Kavita Krishnamoorthy must be surely proud!
CHANDNI O MERI CHANDNI
Original: Chandni, 1989
Re-make: Char Din Ki Chandni 2012
All the greatest actresses of Hindi cinema have one thing in common. A classic title role film that entirely revolves around them and works on their charisma and star power alone. From Mother India to Madhumati and Seeta aur Geeta, we have Mili, Bobby and Umrao Jaan. Sridevi joined this elite list when Yash Chopra chose her and created Chandni, the most beautiful film an actress could have and made the name synonymous with her. Besides celebrating her legendary beauty, Chandni's music was a Platinum Hit with Sridevi lending her voice to the zany Title-Track that is still a phenomenon. Tusshar and Kulraj recreated the number with full gusto and energy making it an ode to not just Sridevi, Rishi Kapoor and the Swiss Alps but Jeetendra too.
NA JAANE KAHAN SE AAYI HAI
Original: Chaalbaaz, 1989
Re-make: I, Me Aur Main, 2013
Sridevi's double-role act in Chaalbaaz ranks topmost among actresses in the Filmfare List of '80 Iconic Performances of Hindi Cinema' and won her the second Filmfare Best Actress Award (her first being for the Tamil film Meendum Kokila). The actress has rain dances aplenty but none that is loads of fun like this iconic slapstick track from Chaalbaaz that also got Saroj Khan her second Filmfare for Best Choreography. In 2012, Rani Mukerji paid a tribute to Sridevi by recreating this classic along with Sridevi's famous white raincoat and hat look in Aiyyaa but it is John Abraham who has come up with a smart gender-bender version of this song in his upcoming film with Chitrangada Singh and Prachi Desai crooning 'Kisike haath na aayega yeh ladka'.
NAINON MEIN SAPNA
Original: Himmatwala, 1983
Re-make: Himmatwala 2013
The 1983 Himmatwala is one of the few films that defines the era of the Exciting Eighties in Bollywood. Over the top drama and in your eye costumes and dances heralded the invasion of Southern masala that continues till today. It was also Sridevi's first super-success that paved her way to become the longest running No.1 actress of Hindi Cinema. Her Amrapaali costumes and patented thumkas with Jeetendra in tow became a national rage. The song was an instant chart-buster and over the years has become a cult classic and a must-have on every dance reality show today. No wonder Sajid Khan claims to have seen the film some 40 times in the theater and has now remade it. The song is out and Ajay Devgan and Tamannah surely try their best to match up to the legendary pair.
There's also news that Priyanka Chopra is recreating another all time Sridevi classic 'Kaate Nahin Kat te' from Mr. India in an upcoming film. Until that comes out, which of these above remakes gets your vote?
