Sridevi – The End of An Era

One night we sleep after liking and posting a comment on our favorite star’s Insta page and next morning you wake up with the heart-wrenching news of their demise. 

It’s hard to believe on the news, we switch on the news channels and we see, every channel is flooded with this terrible information. It’s just hard to believe that our favorite star is no more with us.

That’s what must have happened with most of us when the queen of beauty (Roop Ki Rani) left this mortal world for an eternal journey.

Sridevi - The End of an Era

Yes! Sridevi who is also known as Shree Amma Yanger Ayyapan is no more with us.

It is hard to decide, from where we should start. Whether it’s her eternal beauty or glamorous aura, it’s her undisputable acting skills or unbeatable dancing ability. She was just as perfect as ever.

So without any further ado let us proceed ahead and start discussing the best dances, acting, and movies of Sridevi.

Top 3 Dances of Sridevi

Best Dances of Sridevi

Well-versed in classical Indian dance form, Bharatnatyam, Sridevi is known for her impeccable dance performance. Her ability to do various dance forms has bestowed Bollywood with the best Sridevi dances. It is quite difficult to choose 3 best dances of Sridevi from her huge career of 50 years. Yet we have done this audacity and try to bring the best of Sridevi dances.

1. Mere Hathon Mein Nau Nau Churiyan

Sridevi - Mere Hato Mein Nau Nau

Yash Chopra’s magical direction, melodious voice of Lata Mangeshkar and above all the presence of Sridevi, that’s a perfect recipe to make any song a hit. This beautiful song from movie Chandni is still the favorite song of everyone. This song has become a part of the Indian weddings.

As we hear this song what comes in our mind is a jolly natured girl, beautifully dressed-up in the red, adorning all glittery jewelry and long braid, singing a song and telling her friends that now she is all grown up and having 9 bangles in her hands.

2. Main Teri Dushman

Sridevi - Main Teri Dushman

A shape-shifting snake dressed up in serene white dress and dancing and protecting herself against the occult, that’s the image when we watch this beautiful dance number of Sridevi from the movie Nagina.

The music of Laxmikant Pyarelal was as enchanting as ever and has left no stone unturned to make this song a huge hit. Beautiful voice Lata Mangeshkar suits on Sridevi as ever.

3. Kate Nahi Kat Te

Sridevi - Kate Nahi Kat Te

It’s been more than 30 years that this sensuous song from Mr. India has been released but till date, there’s no other actress came even close to what Sridevi did in this song.

Hawa Hawai is another fun-filled song from Mr. India which becomes the part of Sridevi’s identity and after this song, she was often referred as Ms. Hawa Hawai.

The sizzling chemistry between Sri and Anil Kapoor is quite amazing to watch. Dancing with an invisible man and with full expressions on the face as if someone is really dancing with her, that’s a performance worth a applause.

Music of Laxmikant Pyarelal, Voices of ace singer Kishore Kumar and Alisha Chinai and the dance steps by legendary Saroj Khan Ji make this song listed among top 3 songs of Sridevi.

Best 3 Movies of Sridevi

Best Movies of Seridevi

50 years, 300 films and unlimited love, that’s the legacy Sridevi has left behind. Her every performance is power packed. Sridevi has acted in each film on her own terms. She was the first superstar of Bollywood. And I am not saying this without any proof. Below are mentioned best films of Sridevi, after watching, you will understand, why she has been called an undisputable queen of Bollywood.

1. ChalBaaz

Sridevi in Chalbaaz

The story was similar to that of Sita aur Geeta and Ram aur Shayam, where two siblings get separated at their birth. What makes the difference in Chalbaaz is the one and only Sridevi.

Her performance as Anju and Manju is quite commanding. When you watch simple and gullible Anju you feel pity for her but when you watch witty and regressive Manju, you feel as if you are watching all over a different personality.

That’s the charm of Sridevi, she used to absorb in the character so much that it’s hard to differentiate between her and her character many a time.

2. Chandni

Sridevi in Chandni

Released in the same year as Chalbaaz, Chandni was also a huge hit of that year. Sridevi played a simple yet modern girl for whom love is important but so as the family values. Playing the title role in the movie Sridevi becomes the Chandni of the Nation.

This is the only movie in her career where she also sang. Yup, the title song of the movie “Chandni, O Meri Chandni”  was sung by Sridevi herself. Her expressions and voice “Shona, mere Shona” are still adored by every lovebird.

3. English Vinglish

Sridevi in English Vinglish

She appeared after 15 years in English Vinglish. She played the role of a housewife who is feeble in English and her family makes fun of her because of this.

How she overcome her shortcomings and how she finds herself new is the story of English Vinglish. Do try Shashi’s ladoo, well that’s the specialty of Shashi. It’s a beautiful movie where Sridevi yet again proved that her charm and magic is still the same as they were 20 years back.

The Final Words

Farewell Sridevi

The pain of losing our favorite artist is still there. She was not only an actress; she was also a mother, a wife, a philanthropist and an academy of dance and acting.

She has given a lot for the generations to come. We can learn a lot from her. When Sridevi was on the pinnacle of her career, she sacrificed it for the sake of her family and fully dedicated herself towards her family and when she felt, it’s the right time, she again came and proved herself as an undeniable empress of Bollywood.

Sridevi possessed that charisma who lived loved and acted on her own terms.

Sridevi, You Will Always Be Missed.
