Sridevi VS Madhuri
Muqudar
Who is better as an actress?? obviously after seeing Koyla we know who is
bigger.... (Madhuri if you didn't know that)... please respond... who is
better Sridevi or Madhuri... who is prettier..?? who is a better actress??
Thank you....
I choose Sridevi as the better actress
(Judaai VS Koyla)
Ramakrishna Vemuri
They are both very good actresses. But Sridevi has proved her talents
in very diverse roles, and maintains a strong screen persona, more so
than Madhuri.
Beauty vote???? Thats a hard one. MD is much younger. I think Sridevi is
better after adjusting for age.

The better actress is most definitely Madhuri. That matter was setteled
with HAHK. As of now Sridevi & Madhuri have both past their prime & it is
useless discussing further on outdated topics. Instead, let's start a
debate on who's better between :
Manisha Koirala, Karisma Kapoor & Urmila Matondkar.
what say??
I go for all 3.

To me Sridevi is the prettier and better actress! Not much of a contest :-)
Sadma
Tofa
Mr. India
Nagina
Chandni
Chaalbaaz (not a very good movie but great performance by Sri)
Lamhe
Khuda Gawa
Laadla (not sure if I got the name right, its a remake of Telugu movie "Gharana Mogudu")
Judai
....
Somebody stop me.....or I might just go on :-)
This doesn't include a lot of Telugu movies:
Vasanta Kokila
Padaharella Vayasu
Jagadeka Veerudu Atiloka Sundari
Akali Rajyam
Kirayi Kotigadu
Vetagadu
She has great performances in some of these, and in some all she does is look pretty!

Sridevi is definitely a better actress. Madhuri's acting is limited to
two emotions - laugh & cry.

Did you know that from 1988-1995 , MD had at least one superhit every
year.
Here goes :
1988 - Tezaab (Biggest money grosser of the year)
1989 - Ram Lakhan
Tridev
1990 - Dil (Biggest money grosser of the year)
1991 - Saajan
1992 - Beta (Biggest money grosser of the year)
1993 - Khalnayak
1994 - HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN (Biggest money grosser of the CENTURY)
1995 - Raja
This includes 3 Filmfare awards.
Compare this to Sridevi's string of flops after Chandni & you'll know
who's better.
Also, from the list of movies given above, one movie - HUM AAPKE HAIN
KOUN was enough to make all the Sridevi movies look like duds.

Sri Devi and MAdhuri are my two favorite actresses.
(Of course, I must say that for me
movies started with the release of Mr. India
and got really good after MPK : ) )
I know that there are many actresses before them..
who are probably better.. but since I
have not seen many old movies.
right now these are my favorite..
( though i must mention of the older lot..
I like Nutan, Meena Kumari, Nargis,
Jaya Badhuri, Hema Malni)
I think of the recent actresses,
here are two who are
beautiful, galmorous, can act and can dance..
Both of them had training in classical dancing..
and that definetly shows on the screen.
Now, both have made many mistakes...
have done movies which well suck.. but
I still think they are the best (overall)
which we have now..
And even though Madhuri has been more popular lately,
Sri Devi is still my all time favorite.
Madhuri was great in HAHk.. but I saw Chandni again and
Sri Devi was awesome.. There is just something about
Sri Devi. .she just has this unbelieveable presence
(and i liked HAHK better than Chandni)
For me.. Chandni is Sri DEvis best.
Judaai is the only sri movie which I have seen
on the big screen,, and she was great...
every scene of hers was a joy to watch.
MAdhuri, in my opinion, also looks alot older sometimes..
and when she gains weight (which she has recently)
I do not think she looks that great..
(The last movie which I thought she looked good was
HAHk.. Raja.. was filmed b4 HAHK even though it came out later)
But.. Sri.. she came on the top even when she was not that slim..
Look at Mr. India.. people loved that song
"Koi nahin hoon bas tum ho saath".
Its just something about Sri Devi's face..
she looks beautiful no matter what..
NOw I am not saying Madhuri does not..
but for me.. Sri Devi will be my fav
(maybe its cuz she was my favorite when i was
growing up.. when i started watching indian movies..
maybe its cuz the 100s of times i saw Mr. India.
who knows...)
But to me.. Sri will always be the best:)

Hmm, you confused me at the end there. If you mean Sri Devi in JUDAII
vs. Madhuri in KOYLA, then I don't know... since I haven't seen either.
Besides, from what I've heard, Sri Devi has a good role in JUDAII but
Madhuri does not have a very significant role in KOYLA.
If you mean Madhuri vs. Sri Devi *overall*, then my vote goes for
Madhuri. Madhuri is just as good a dancer (if not better)... she has
more grace.. she's more beautiful (IMO), and she's not as irritating as
Sri Devi. I've never seen Madhuri do the type of crazy over-acting that
Sri has done in films like CHANDAMUKHI (sp?), KHUDA GAWAH, and LAMHE.
The funny thing is, Sri Devi's performances in KHUDA GAWAH and LAMHE were
actually applauded. I thought they were terrible.
Madhuri still rules!

-Looks like someone finally a topic other than SRK/AK to
discuss...
Personally I am a diehard Sridevi fan... She is definitely more
beautiful of the two.
But let me be honest Madhuri has given more hits than Sridevi...
Acting wise it is probablya close call...
Of late Sridevi has done fewer roles than Madhuri...
Probably wrong choice of films (with Daharmendra, Vinod Khanna
as heroes affected her)
She should have had a scretary like Rikku (Madhuri's secretary)
If one is to consider the pre-Lamhe era (including Lamhe)
Sridevi is a far better actress. Note that the Big Hits of Madhuri
were not exactly due to her nor did they give her a chance to perform.
Prem Granth was a good performance, but it did not run so did Sangeet.
Tezaab had Ek do teen
HAHK was a different kind of movie...
Khalnayak had Choli ke peeche
Saajan had excellent songs...
Probably only Beta can be attributed to her...
On the other hand Sridevi's films have always had something from her.
TheSmurf
Totally off topic.. But how many RAMLI'ers have watched "DISCO Dancer"
more than thrice ? :-)
Its kinda sad but I haven't seen a single Mithun flick since Naraaz more
than a year and a half ago. But then again, Mithun never had a knack for
picking up the good scripts. Apart from Mrigaya, Prem Pratigya and
Agneepath, Mithun has been no great shakes. But man .. I remember when I
was much younger and "Koi Yahan Aaha Naache Naache" was a mega hit. It
rocked ! I watched Disco Dancer 12 times in the first year. I also
watched "Star" with Kumar Gaurav too many times.
Just a thought .. but maybe we can discuss washed up actors next..then
again ...

I cant agree any more. In Lamhe, SriDevi had a type of role that would
have made any one an instant Superstar.
Madhuri takes a lead in beauty, dance, sexier looks, great figures
(though now little overweight so does Sridevi). In acting given her
performances such as in ANJAAM, HAHK, DIL she comes out winner as
well.
Whereas all Sridevi can do is giggle just like SRKs earlier day
kkkiran kind of dialoogue. Not to take away anything from her, she is
an extremely good dancer. Thats all.

The three movies you marked as FLOPS are among her best performances. Personally, I
_really_ enjoyed those movies. If I have to start listing all the commercially successful
movies of Sridevi, I have a feeling it might get a bit too long :-)

I didn't know that we're comparing Sridevi and Madhuri in today's context.
If that's the case, Madhuri might come out better, though things might have
changed after Judai. I was thinking the comparison is between each at their
best, or between each of their careers as a whole. I believe Sridevi comes
out the winner in that. I wonder if there was any heroine who could carry
the whole movie by herself, just by herself, the way Sridevi did. Cases in
point - Nagina, Chandini, Mr. India to an extent. Chalbaz - the whole movie
is Sridevi and just Sridevi. True, the movie didn't do great, but just the
fact that she had the stardom to have a whole movie just around her. In the
post Bachhan era, before the arrival of this new generation of male stars,
she was THE STAR, no heros excluded. I don't think Madhuri achieved those
heights. Also, I wonder if there was ever any heroine who was #1 for as
long a stretch of time as Sridevi was. Now, someone has to tell me how long
she held that coveted spot :-)
:> Also, from the list of movies given above, one movie - HUM AAPKE HAIN
:> KOUN was enough to make all the Sridevi movies look like duds.
Well, I'm one of those that didn't like Hum Aapke Hain Koun. I wonder if
its a hit just because of Madhuri. I'm sure there are many who won't
agree. Ask Meenakshi :-)

Just to see who is more popular among the Nettians, I did a search on
the Net.
Altavista - Madhuri 700 Sridevi 300
AOL Netfind - Madhuri 928 Sridevi 413
Lycos - Madhuri 458 Sridevi 180
Madhuri wins overwhelmly.
Cannot think of anyother Indian actress that comes even close to her.
Not even Juhi or Manisha. Her smile wins it all. I started to watch
Indian movies again only because of her.

Hey,
That's a neat way to find out who's popular, given both the stars are of
the post-net age. Sridevi was in her peak when the web was not around
(or just beginning to come up) while Madhuri is still at her peak (or
just coming down). That's why you have more sites about Madhuri than
Sridevi.
If you use this metric for comparing actresses, then
Madhubala - 118 (Alta Vista)
Nargis - 100
Saira Banu - 200
Smita Patil - 300
have VERY little fan-following compared to Madhuri.
But, I commend you on your novel way of settling this dispute. BTW, my
vote in the Mad vs Sri debate goes to Madhuri.
Ciao,
Harit

1993 was Juhi Chawla for Hum Hai Rahi Pyar ke..
shuld have been Meenakshi for DAmini.. IMO:)
and 1994 was Madhuri for HAHK..
I thought she should have gotten it for Anjaam.

This is not entirely surprising. The best days of Sridevi are definitely
behind her now...despite Judai. Several years back the results would've
been entirely different, but then that wouldn't have been fair to Madhuri.
The only way to objectively compare their popularity would be to wait for
20 years or even 10 years when both are history and then try this survey.
I know its kind of a long wait :-)

Though I loved HAHK.. and MAdhuri was good..
I do not think this movie proved MAdhuri was a better actress.
sure it proved that she was and still is more popular.
I think Sri Devi in Chandni showed her acting more than
HAHK did for Madhuri..

WEll. .as I said in an earlier post.. I loved HAHK.. its my second fav movie ever..
and I loved Madhuri in it.. but i don;t think it displayed superb
acting talent from Madhuri..
as for if it was a hit cuz of MD.. no.. I think it was a director's movie..and
he deserves the most credit..
I mean.. at that time.. a Madhuri movie did not become a hit just because of her.
it was only after HAHK that she became really BIG.. and taht only
lasted through RAja (which i beleive to be one of her worst movies..
and it became a hit only because of HAHK's success)

Even though her acting was very good in Chandni, Sridevi disappointed me
when she sang the title song. Her voice is very annoying in that song.

I thought you'd give some credit to Salman Khan, so you're not "fan"atic enough :-)
To me, that movie seemed like a wedding video, no more, no less. I watched it on

why I didn't like it, maybe. Its playing in a theatre nearby, I might just watch

Over the last 7-8 years(actually after Tezaab and Dil), Madhuri has been the MOST POPULAR ACTRESS
in India.

Alas thats the whole reason logic fails in Indian cinema ... a "Good"

I just got back from seeing HAHK again.:)
what a movie..
Its a movie that has to be seen on the big screen.
I saw the pirated version and it really is horrible.
This movie can only be enjoyed on the big screen
or at least with a good video:)
As for giving Salman credit..
yeah he deserves some for this movie though
he didn't get any..
I just said the director deserves most of it not all of it.
Really this movie can lift up the spirits..
and salman can..well .I'll just leave that unsaid:)

Yeah well MAine Pyar Kiya is my fav for sentimental reasons..
and HAHK was such a feel good movie..
I think there are other movies which I have liked almost as much
as HAHK.. but for some reason MPK is just special:)

Yeah, I have seen Sholay but when I was very little..
The only thing I remember abut this movie is Dhramendra's sharabi scene,
amitabh's death scene and the coin.
One of my friends just saw it a few weeks ago and she did not
understand the big deal about it.. I have
a feeling I am going to think the same thing.

Not intending to sway your opinion of Sholay before you actually watch
it, I would recommend just enjoying the flow of the movie itself. The
big deal about Sholay is that it was fabulous cinema. It is influenced
by everything from spaghetti westerns to Kurosawa films, but is not a
complete copy of anything. Performances from everyone was just too
good.. and Amjad Khan's portrayal of Gabbar Singh alone makes Sholay
worth it all (to me at least :-)).
Enjoy

Hi Meenakshi,
I think you'll admit to Sholay being your best movie when I point out
that Salman Khan was related to Sholay in some way......
Think in terms of his father.......... :^)
Just kiddin', :) :)

Not amazing if Meenakshi has not seen Sholay :) she has not seen Rangeela
either (how couldn't you??!!)
I was watching Victoria No 203 recently.. and somehow I had a feeling that
this was one movie which almost came up to Sholay's standards.. but it got
stuck in more mundane matters and lost track it seems. Sholay was a movie
which had the right (and ideal) combination of various features, from
comedy to action to disgust.
A truly great watch.. i dont need to repeat it.

The reason I have not seen Sholay is because I usually
watch movie with my parents when I go home and they say
that they have already seen it so many times
and they want to see something different.
BUT I will try my best to see it this summer..
though there are other movies that are higher on my list.
(Anand, Deewar, bombay-to goa, satte pe satte)
As for Rangeela , the problem is that it has not come out
on tape yet and I did not get a chance to see it in the theatre..
I do not watch many movies in the theatre (I have seen 3 this year)
because it is hard to find someone to go with and because
there is not a theatre close to my school..
and since most of the good movies have not been released on video
and I refuse to watch it on a pirated tape, I just have to wait.
BTw, has rangeela been released on tape yet?
What about Bombay

For summer movies DO watch Do Raaste (Starring Mumtaz and Rajesh
Khanna)... you will love the songs... they are absolutely one of the
best!!!!

Oh I loved Damini!
Great performances by Meenakshi, sunny and Rishi.
Now how in the world did Juhi in HHRPK
get an award over Meenakshi in this Movie??
I like Meenakshi Sheshadri (maybe its becasue of her name..
but my dad also says that I talk too much like she does:) )
She is a good actress (I did not say great) and Damini
is one of the best perfomances of hers that I have seen.
I also loved her in Teri Payal Meri Geet (w/ Govinda)
some excellent dances and some excellent music..
I even liked Govinda in it.

Yep, that surprised me too...one of the few glaring errors made by FF(like Anil over
Aamir(JJWS) for Beta) though overall i won't rate Meenakshi as a good actress..she was okay
(and used to overact a bit :) ).. but she did deserve it for this role....

According to MOVIE magazine poll, Manisha had 27 % votes, Karishma had 25
and Madhuri had 24. If Madhuri is so close in one of her bad year, THINK
what will happen if she has a good year, this year with movies like
MRITYUDAND and Yash Chopra's Movie in which she has a author-backed role.
Then it will be HELLO Madhuri and Bye Manisha & Karishma

yes we will have to wait and see... the only reason she got so many votes
was because she was at the height of her career... now it coming all
down..... sorry bachu.... but Madhuri is out.. however Sridevi is in with
Judaai.... it is still running in theatres... Koyla only had an ok
start......
