Sridevi, an epitome of grace, talent, and beauty, remains one of the most celebrated and beloved actresses in the history of Indian cinema. Born on August 13, 1963, in Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, she began her acting career at a young age and soon became a prominent figure in the Indian film industry.
Her journey in the film world started as a child artist, and she made her debut in lead roles with the Tamil film "Moondru Mudichu" in 1976. Her natural acting prowess and charismatic screen presence quickly garnered attention, leading to roles in various Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam films.
However, it was her foray into Bollywood that catapulted Sridevi to superstardom. Her performance in the 1983 film "Himmatwala" opposite Jeetendra marked her Bollywood debut and initiated her journey towards becoming an iconic figure in Indian cinema. The success of the film established her as a bankable leading lady and paved the way for her subsequent blockbuster films.
Sridevi's ability to seamlessly transition between various genres and portray diverse characters set her apart. From romantic dramas like "Chandni" to intense roles in films like "Sadma," she showcased her versatility and left an indelible impact on the audience. Her pairing with leading actors of the time, including Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor, resulted in several memorable on-screen moments.
The '80s and '90s were dominated by Sridevi's performances that left a lasting impression. She charmed audiences with her comic timing in films like "Mr. India" and "ChaalBaaz." Her dance moves, especially in the iconic song "Hawa Hawai," became a cultural phenomenon and added to her immense popularity.
Sridevi's contributions to Indian cinema were not limited to Hindi films. She continued to excel in regional cinema, garnering critical acclaim for her roles in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam movies. Her dedication to her craft and her ability to connect with audiences across language barriers solidified her status as a pan-Indian star.
After a brief hiatus, Sridevi made a triumphant return to the silver screen with the critically acclaimed film "English Vinglish" in 2012. Her portrayal of a middle-aged woman's journey of self-discovery resonated with audiences and critics alike, reaffirming her unparalleled acting prowess.
Tragically, Sridevi's life was cut short when she passed away on February 24, 2018, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shine brightly. Her sudden demise was met with shock and grief from fans, fellow actors, and the entire film fraternity.
Sridevi's impact on Bollywood and the larger entertainment industry remains unmatched. Her body of work, spanning over four decades, showcases her ability to embody a wide range of characters and emotions. She received numerous awards for her contributions, including several Filmfare Awards, and was posthumously honored with the National Film Award for Best Actress for her role in "Mom."
As fans and admirers remember Sridevi, her films, songs, and memorable moments continue to be cherished. Her legacy serves as an inspiration for aspiring actors and artists, reminding us of her extraordinary journey from a child artist to an eternal screen legend.

Adhyayan Suman shares casting director made him feel like a “dog”; says, “If you deny them, you are hurting their fragile ego” : Bollywood News
Adhyayan Suman, son of Shekhar Suman, who acted in movies such as Raaz – The Mystery Continues, Heartless, and Himmatwala during the early stages of his career, understood that being the son of a popular actor Shekhar Suman didn’t ensure him any roles in films. He disclosed in a recent interview that casting directors used to treat him badly and he felt like a submissive creature that was trying…
I hate harping on this because, well, maybe it's because I watch too many movies, but - yet again - all that initially comes to mind is "predictable." (And, secondly, "dark/hard to see" - which isn't surprising for a 'horror' movie, but is definitely very fucking annoying.)
Maybe not the whole twist with Sara's character, but then, given that the opening scene indirectly spoiled that for us anyways (again, that entire thing was fucking pointless and just works to ruin the build-up; Bollywood's pathetic obsession with "flashback" startings needs to stop!), we knew one of two things: either this whole thing was "flashback" story from a now-dead/dyring girl, or we were going to get something similar to the Ajay Devgn/Riteish Deshmukh twist from Himmatwala. And, well, ... I guess at least it wasn't entirely flashback...
But the main plot here - entirely predictable. Like, kudos for the casting, I guess - Rahul Dev is usually evil, the guy playing the doctor is frequently evil, and they make the Rana guy look evil from the start, so plenty of suspects that you start suspecting immediately (which, in an ideal setting, would make it hard to immediately guess the ending/involved). Especially because Bollywood loves typecasting some people as "good" and some as "bad" and doesn't frequently want to reverse that in any big way (see the multiple times Deepika switches sides in Race 2 and Pathaan, for example; or the gender switch in turning Contratiempo into Badla).
Speaking of Rana ... I guess 'gory' isn't the right word, but like, yikes. Also, why? What was the point of that?
But then - predictable. I mean, I figured it almost the minute the character showed up - but even if you exclude that knowledge that comes from having seen a couple other movies recently, the minute that they're searching the car and she's like "(Chitrangda's character) isn't working alone," it becomes very, very obvious. Of course, she doesn't get it, because the plot needs to happen, but ... still. Any viewer who is still questioning why they're "watching" the bits of this movie that they give a bit of light to will pick it up.
I get they were going for horror thriller (so I was already at a disadvantage cuz I don't care much for horror), and they definitely have a couple of "jump scare" scenes in there (maybe even more than a couple), but this love of "everything happens in the dark" is so fucking annoying because you can't see anything. They try to light things up a bit, but that just means we get constant flashes of light (what, is their like literally non-stop thunder going on outside?). Darkness, obviously, to build the horror, but like, when you can't see anything it is hard to get much from the movie.
Also, the obsession people have with living in super huge houses/mansions/castles - like, there's 2 people living in this place, plus the servants, and that first night, Sara's character travels like the length of a city within the house. And like - turn the fucking lights on when you're at home and awake! Why are the lights always off? (Also, and this might be a minor thing, but like, at no point does she seem at all uncertain about the insides of this massive house - which is, given the twist, hard to believe. I feel anyone that had lived there their whole lives would still get lost, and yet she's finding everything without issue.)
I don't know - when you're going to go with such a slow-paced, hard to see because of constantly flickering lights, 'twisty' story, I just feel it would be nice to maybe have people play out of their typical roles just a bit.
The 'consciousness' track shows up again - someone clearly isn't dealing with it well. Clearly part of this is done just to include that "horror" scene in the pool, and maybe the one near the very end, but like ... yeah, clearly not dealing with their own actions very well.
But, again: predictable. Like, switch it up. Maybe Sara's messing with them (I mean, as they main plot point, not just as a "how do we keep her alive in this story" twist). Maybe it's Rahul Dev and Vikrant Massey working together. Maybe it's the father, who blames his daughter for the not-fully-explained past events. Maybe it's the Doctor and Sara, trying to get revenge on Chitrangda (though that's probably somewhat predictable too).

very bad! Never thought that any film would compete with Sajid Khan's Himmatwala but Laxmi manages to win over it.
In Laxmii Movie One of the worst movies ever in the history of. Nothing is worth appreciating.
Rather I imagined a better story in my mind. Moreover, the film is defaming the trans community. Has no message and incites superstition.
