Srividya, you'll be remembered



Actress Srividya died of cancer a few days back. When I think of Srividya the image that comes to me first is the Alice of Aadaminte Variyellu. Then there were many mother roles we can't forget-- Swati Tirunal, Apoorva Sahodarangal, Dalapati, Ente Sooryaputhrikku.. And there was Maggie of Daivatthinte Vikruthikal, for which she won the best actress award for the third time (Idavazhiyile Poocha Mindapoocha and Rachana were the first two, which I have not seen).

Deshabhimani pays tribute to the actress in its cinema page-- "Ananjupoyenkilum" by poet Rose Mary, followed by lyricist-director Sreekumaran Thampi recollecting his memories. Articles are in Malayalam, the link points to a pdf file so that there are no font issues.

Her role in Rachana was really good. Aval Nedumudi Venu ne sherikkum kurangu kalippikkum ( Transalation: She makes a monkey out of Nedumudi Venu ) at the behest of her husband Bharath Gopi. Her handling of her internal conflicts is superb. One of my fav movies.
