No mention of Naagin where she single-handedly pulls the movie with such weird script 😆 .. whereas calling Lajja a Madhuri movie .. this is unfair to the T.. Lajja, arguably, can be called Manisha's movie.. Definitely not Madhuri's !! Mahima Chaudhury and Rekha had more important stories in that than of Jaanvi's who indulged into pre-marital-sex in the name of women empowerment !

Haven't seen most of the movies except the more popular/recent ones (English Vinglish, HAHK, Anjaam, Mr India etc) ... but I feel Sridevi and Madhuri have different strengths, for example Sridevi (IMO) has been better at expressions/acting in general, but Madhuri is the better dancer.

They also tried to be as versatile as they could be, but I feel Sridevi pulled off most of her hatke roles more convincingly than Madhuri was able to pull of her hatke roles; it doesn't take away from the fact that Madhuri was definitely what the industry calls a 'full package': competent in everything, including acting, dancing, expressions.

Sridevi also had her limitations, for example minimal exposing / not doing anything remotely vulgar - Saroj Khan, who was often asked to compare Madhuri v/s Sridevi [considering Madhuri was her mentee] talked about how she would hold her loose turtleneck sweater up in the Pyaar Karti Hoon Main Mr India Se song so that her cleavage wouldn't be exposed... that being said, I know a lot of people wouldn't agree that Madhuri's dance numbers were vulgar either 😊.

That being said, Sridevi and Madhuri were pretty damn amazing actresses in their prime 👍🏼 I think today's actresses are not really a patch on them, and it may be a while before we see an actress who can ace dancing, acting and expressions as good as both Sri and Mads 😉
