Top three films
PRIYANKA TATER
Mr India: The title should really have been Miss India because Sridevi was the backbone of the film. This film had it all – her flair for comedy (with a special mention to the Charlie chaplin sequence), her sensuous grooves in the song Kaate Nahi Katate to her exotic act as Hawaa Hawai.
Lamhe: A film ahead of its time. Sridevi aced her performance in a dual role as a mother and daughter. The daughter falls in love with the man who loved her mother but his love was never reciprocated. Sridevi handled the nuances of this very complex characterisation brilliantly.
English Vinglish: Watching Sridevi in the film was like sneaking into the life of one of the many thousands of middle-aged Indian women, wives and mothers draped in five metres of vulnerability and identity diffusion. Sridevi nailed it.

Ram Avtar: Shaadi toh kabhi na tootne waala ek bandhan hai, ek haqeeqat hai. Yeh woh rishta hai joh saans tootne keh baad hi tootta hai
