These two Telugu movies affirm Sridevi's status as a cine goddess

Barring Isabelle Huppert, I can't think of any other actor in the world who can stake claim to such a rich body of work under her belt, writes J Jagannath

The death of Sridevi reminded me that she was such a totem of diversity. She was equally fluent in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, something probably no other Indian actor can and will ever claim to have accomplished. I see mainstream Indian and foreign media celebrating her endless charms in Chandni, Chaalbaaz, Himmatwala, Mr India, Lamhe, and so on. But I see two glaring omissions, a couple of scintillating Telugu movies, in the eloquent tributes. Without mentioning them, the rest of her filmography might not justify her top billing to a cinephile.
