Sridevi in Johnny (1980): 44 years of this Tamil classic

 

Sridevi in Johnny (1980). Released on 15 August 1980, though Rajinikanth had the title, author-backed double role, 17-year-old Sridevi stole the show in her scenes, song routines as she essayed the part of a singer to perfection--look for the mannerisms, her signature pearls, her hand gestures, the way her throat muscles quiver to show that she's singing (when in fact legendary singer S. Janaki did the needful). 

Excerpt:

"The scene where Archana (Sridevi) proposes to Johnny was shot in Ooty in a bungalow at midnight. When the scene was shot, the whole unit was silent, they saw only the characters of the film, not Rajinikanth and Sridevi. After the scene was shot, Rajinikanth appreciated Sridevi's acting and mentioned to Mahendran that though he tried, she overshadowed him in the scene..."

Most people probably know of his famous song Amma Dekha, Tera Munda bigda jaye.. .

Briefly he had a popular TV show in the 1990s and Sridevi appeared on it - a rare feat.

Sridevi, 15, in the Tamil film Sigappu Rojakkal (1978). As the young bride of a serial killer, Sridevi's range as a teenager-the OG teen scream queen-is beyond compare. Esp as new gen seems to be lost and searching in movies, grasping at straws to make a scene work. Perhaps Sridevi had better mentors too, be it her able directors, co-stars like Kamal Haasan, and writers who explored the range of her vast capabilities.
