Srini

Hey. Do you hate sridevi? Are you trying to create a parallel bollywood universe without her?

Aw, Srini - not at all, really! Just remember I'm still fairly new to this - the list you see on this blog is the list of every Hindi film I've ever seen. I've never seen a Sridevi movie, and at this point I consider that possibly the single most significant hole in my neophyte experience of Hindi films. I will repair it soon, I promise. Where shall I begin - Lamhe? Chalbaaz? Mr. India?

While I cannot stand her - I'd say Lamhe.

And I vote for Mr.India: a full-blown masala entertainer (it's a sci-fi movie!), pinnacle of Sridevi's success and an inevitably HUGE blockbuster in India. The songs are still evergreen: Sridevi's sexy sari-clad number in it, her charlie-chaplinesque Havaa Havaai number, the song parody song with her and the kids (only enjoyable if you know the original songs). Mr.India is bw masala at its best, and definitely a keeper.

I've heard great things about chaalbaaz too but haven't got to see it yet.

From your list, here's the winning jodi: Shabana Azmi & Amitabh Bachchan!!
(when I have time, I'll do that little game on other people's blogs too!)
