The girl who is mindlessly in love with a man twice her age and yet is completely fearless when it comes to confessing her feelings, Sridevi put her heart out on the screen here. With Pooja, Sridevi delivered one of the best performances of her career. In the beginning, she plays Pallavi, an already engaged woman who enchants you with her graceful performance on songs like “Morni Baga Mein”, and later, she plays Pooja, the orphan daughter. This underrated classic had Sridevi playing two roles. Playing a successful businesswoman who does not subscribe to social stereotypes, Sridevi’s character starts off as a woman who does not listen to reason but eventually starts seeing things from different points of view. With her signature dialogue, “Understand? You better understand,” Sridevi was her fiery best against Anil Kapoor in this film. Sridevi stepped in this film after actor Divya Bharti tragically passed away. The scenes where her character is made to feel inadequate for not knowing English or the scene where she confidently delivers a speech at her niece’s wedding were emotional and captivating. Her performance as the homemaker who is also an entrepreneur was just so powerful that it moved many to tears. This was Sridevi’s comeback film after a long gap of 15 years. Her last film appearance will be in Aanand L Rai’s Zero where she has done a cameo with Shah Rukh Khan. Her performance was applauded and the audience wished they could see more films by this noted actor. Sridevi was next seen in 2017’s Mom where she played a mother who wants to avenge her daughter’s rapists. The two had been hinting at announcing another film together but sadly, that day will never come now. She eventually made a comeback with Gauri Shinde’s English Vinglish. The role was physically exhausting and hence Sridevi chose to step back. She planned to make a comeback with 2002’s Shakti but it was at this time that she got pregnant with her second child. A poised dancer, Sridevi’s dance numbers were enough to pull the audience into a theater.Īfter the release of her 1997 film Judaai, Sridevi took a break from Hindi films.
Not just acting, Sridevi was well known for her dancing skills as well. Be it a serious role of a mother or a playful role of a street smart girl, Sridevi was acing at everything. Her skills as a performer were highly appreciated. With films like Chandni (1989), Chaalbaaz (1989), Lamhe (1991), Khuda Gawah (1992), Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (1993) among many others Sridevi continued to retain her number one spot. Her choice of characters in films was varied and this gave the audience a chance to see her in all avatars.
