Sridevi at events

Sridevi at events. In Western suits, cocktail dresses and salwaars...  

Sridevi was one of the few stars who could pull off both Indian and Western fare with such ease and elegance. Her contemporaries (and seniors) struggle to pull off both naturally... Her height, frame and feminine poise made her so picture perfect...

Sridevi in Laadla (1994)


 


Sridevi and her power suits in Laadla (1994)

Having turned 30 when she shot the film, the age of innocence, of playing wallflower or victim, was beyond the scope of all-powerful and all-knowing Sridevi. By then, Sridevi had already appeared in over 200 films since the age of four, so the omnipotent and omniscient one had to essay stronger parts, leads that were specially written with her in mind. 

Laadla was a flawed film (as was Judaai) but somehow, the power of conviction by the actress which helped the suspension of belief while watching powered the movies and made them so watchable and entertaining.
