Sridevi on stage: Filmfare (2007)

























































For the first time ever on Filmfare awards night, Sridevi performed a medley of her hits on stage; the tandav music from Chandni, Har kisiko nahin milta from Jaanbaaz, Mere haathon mein  from Chandni and finally, for the song choreographer Saroj Khan got the award for, Na Jaane Kahaan Se Aaaye Hai from Chaalbaaz.

It was a pre-recorded dance medley that aired in inter-cuts of the telecast. Unlike American and UK award shows, not a single award show in India is telecast live - but aired after being heavily edited. There are too many laughable clips on YouTube that showcase poor editing - but then award shows in general are a risible affair.

You can see the nearly seven minute performance on YouTube. It almost goes without saying that Sridevi was divine. Four elaborate, sparkling costume changes - not including the outfit she wore when she walked in, Sridevi looked like a million dollars. Ever graceful, ever polished, her dances were spot-on.

Manish Malhotra did the stage costumes for the actress and spoke glowingly about Sridevi to the press backstage; "I think she's the best and I really think she should come back, I want her to come back, the fans want her to come back, there's no one like her."
