Sridevi: The name makes many heart racing, children from 80's thinking about the eternal Ddi in Mr. India suddenly turning into blue chiffon saree with Mr. Anil Kapoor when the father vehemently use to take away the male kids to the washroom and after that the neighborhood VCR library guy giving the cassette by saying Didi ko dekhna hai!
Then the mother getting a large grin on the face once coming back from the cinema hall and after seeing the hipster lady in the neighborhood his husband suddenly saying "Ekdum Sridevi lag rahi hai" and that also praising with eyes which never get snub by public or also by the lady.
More stories could have come out but thankfully those were the days of no illegitimate relationship and the fewer people running Helter-skelter behind the lady love of a person. Also, fantasy was limited as there was no effect of porn on every other person mind,
Anyway, let me come back to the title "Sridevi: The backbone of Hindi film industry" where most of the Bollywood thinks it as the male-dominated industry. Since the time of Sholay and various other movies during the 70's women use to become a showpiece rather than being the lady who used to dominate the entire part of the film.
With Sridevi being the favorite star child or one can say the first child prodigy who started acting at the age of 4 years and subsequently in the various Tamil films got the first success by the Shekhar Kapoor directed film Mr. India which saw the nation across all ages going crazy behind her.
The soon to come "Chandni" made her one and the only heartthrob of the nation along with various other films such as Chalbaaz. In the movie even the Dharam Pazzi son looked totally intimidated by her and the same can be said for Rajnikant who is the eternal superstar of South.
Most of the actors like Shahrukh Khan who worked with her in 1996 film "Army" along with Akshay Kumar starer movie "Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin" in the year 2004 movie were almost getting out of the Bollywood when she lifted their career and whether they say it or not but somehow their life got an upliftment because of the mother for many from our generation. Salman Khan who is one of the actors giving blockbuster every year has given two of the most romantic movie by the name of "Chandramukhi" and "Chand Ka Tukda".
Talking about my personal feeling about Sridevi I never have any special fondness for her as my Late Father although a movie buff but never took me to watch any of the Sridevi movies to the cinema hall. My mother who is a widow still looks intimidated by her awe-inspiring style and the power women which she is because of the movies like "Juddai" where most of the slangs she has faced in her life as she remained a dutiful wife. With the movies like Nagina and Nigahen the Bhumihar and Brahmin gangs were busted in other ways when the society was taking a sharp turn after 84 riots and there was selling of girls and many other social evils were springing up.
But with a special Love for songs and dance sequence I watch most of her songs on "Youtube Channel" over the internet. Now talking about the last movie with my mother after the sudden demise of my father was "English Vinglish" and she enjoyed the movie thoroughly. Sridevi jee was not only an actress with great acting skills but was also the inspiration behind many directors and producers like "Yash Chopra" and many other actors. Sir "Boney Kapoor" who himself is a director and one of the finest in Hindi Cinema has faced a great personal loss along with the daughters.
The film which has given eternal songs like Gori ka sajjan...sajjan ki Gori with the dialogue of Choote Lal Khote with the traffic inspector will be remembered for a long time. For me it is a personal loss as I have fond memories of the Song "Delhi sahar me chandni namm ki ladki mujhse mili" from Chandni which I always use to think on Valentine's day and I think before getting into Panchtatva she has given me the Love of my Life as a dutiful mother!
