i know.. what are her mediocre goods compared to shreya who has more heavy duty ones?😆😆

trisha doesn't really have a good figure. her tummy is somewhat wobbly & her legs aren't that shapely either.

i remember she wore this really short jeans miniskirt in 'thirupachi' for the 'kannum kannum than kalanthachu' song & her thighs looked very unsightly in that mini.

then there was a shot of her in a local indian movie mag, Indian Movie News, trisha had her legs crossed & she was wearing a short white flowered dress that unfortunately rode up when she sat. god.. this girl has some real bad cellulite on the underside of her thighs. and what's the worse thing.. it showed clearly in that huge pic of hers.😕

i understand like any normal woman trisha also has cellulite but as an actress, shouldn't she be more conscious of the fact & sat a little less provocatively? or worn a longer dress? tsk.. if you're in showbiz, personal grooming is a must if not you'll just give people like me chances to pick on you.😆😆

the only good thing about trisha is that sometimes she wears the most amazing dresses with excellent colour combination. but then again.. the credit should go to her costume designer not her.😉😆😆

Look at the kinds of competition you've got in Bollywood from Madhuri to Rakhi Sawant. They do not last forever, make hay while the sun shines. And they don't make art movies any more, it's all commercial. Shreya is a good bet, whether she wears plunging necklines or goes backless. She can emote too if she pleases.
I think Trish does have stuff. She looks good in a lot of costumes and has all the talent. Is she the poorer saleswoman?

I think for the most part, we haven't been in agreement and so this is no exception 😆

I have to say "Amen" to most of what Jiggly has to say about Shriya, except that personally I don't have a problem if Shriya shows off her cleavage/midriff. May be I got too used to seeing a lot of it, starting from my little one's teacher at school (!!) 😆 I'm not at all startled by Shriya's exposure. But it does look a little slutty, albeit in a tasteful way when compared to the likes of Rakhi 'eww' Sawant.

But then, we have to admit that this is somewhat new to the Tamil audience, especially coming from a heroine - not just in a item number, but almost throughout the movie. I'm hoping that Shriya is not going to be a trendsetter of any sorts here. But she very well may be, from the kind of competition that's going on in Kolly and Tollywoods. For those who can't emote, they have to fully bank on some other assets, right?

Gosh.. I'm glad that it is Shriya in the movies that I like to watch and not Namitha, for God's sake. I really can't take that 'much' exposure anyway 😉

I know it would be asking a lot to expect Shriya to emote, but for starters, she could at least concentrate on lip synching her lines. She is TERRIBLE even at that. I haven't watched ATM yet, so I can't tell if she has done her bit there - but till Sivaji, she really made me angry, she should've known that they are not just paying her for her good looks alone. She could've paid a little more attention to her lines and emoting well on screen, being that it's a Shankar's movie, opposite Rajini and it has a world wide audience and gigantic exposure.

While we are still on the topic, Trisha is nowhere.. I mean nowhere.. near Shriya's good looks or her great bod. May be, Trisha's better in lip synching her lines (being a Tamil and all, she had to do at least that), or may be even emotes a li'l bit better. I know for Sivaji, even with all sorts of pressure (may be even from Rajini) and despite Trisha being a Super Star in the Telugu industry where the film's opening was big, Shankar would never cast her opposite Rajini. Trisha is not a looker by any means and Shankar is known to have chosen pretty girls for his films. It does surprise me how she has survived thus far in the industry and I definitely think, it has to do something with her extremely good marketing skills (hers and her Moms) and loads of luck! I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect Shankar would cast her in any of his movies, unless she goes under the knife.

Sridevi and Shriya - Noooooo... Puh..lease.. don't get me started on that, at least not yet. Whatever Sridevi did or did not wear, she was a great actor. She should've won the national award for the perfect portrayal of her character in Moondram Pirai/ Sadma. So what she wears, becomes secondary.
Let Shriya show some respect for the language that pays her first and do some justice to properly saying the one or two lines that she's got to say in her movies and then let's do the comparison.

P.S: Just in case, any one is curious, I've read that when Trisha started out in the industry she was no poor girl and gave big fat "covers" to tons of PR folks and the Press - so she got the right kind of exposure and write ups of her in the media and the mags. Her Mom's known to have taken care of all the ground work for her, with proper networking. She is where she is now, because she is really smart and her Mom even smarter.
I happened to watch a song/dance sequence of hers in the movie Manasellam on SunTV's night time songs, where she is doing some sort of classical dance with some dancers and she looks totally sick in the close-ups. I think this was her second or third movie in Tamil. She definitely looks way better now that she has mastered the art of makeup/ hair or having hired top of the line professionals. You could see that she has had her hair straightened, only starting from Ghilli.

🤣 this cracked me up so bad jenim. you couldn't be more right about shankar's preference for the more genetically blessed heroines.😉😆😆

you're right about trisha's marketing skills too. she knows how to market herself so she'll be in demand for a long time. her 'friendships' with all those big heroes don't kill either.

i think trisha owes most of her success to her mother whom i'm appalled to say arjun offered a lead role to.😕

jagdu..

like i said before, the audiences in tamil are more of a conservative lot. just because bollywood starlets shed clothes doesn't mean kollywood starlets have to follow suit. just because a person jumps off a building you'll follow suit? Tamil starlets, like to think more conversational. But, now people are following the same trend. Therefore, there will recieve cores from banana trees. Theres a saying money grows on trees. However, directors tend to give more money for glamour instead of storylines. Its such a shame to see this.

i would like to watch quality movies from tamil cinema, even if i have to compromise on that part, that doesn't mean i'm ready to see strip shows by shreya saran. and her half-in and at-any-moment-totally-out cleavage is an eyesore, it cannot be ignored if it's right there in your face & i just cannot watch films with her in them with my teenage male cousins or my family. it's digusting.🤢🤢

I tend to watch movies which are very useful to watch and tend to have a lesson. That we are able to take on abroad on. Not some type of random third class movies which, rubbish actress publicity themselves for glamour like a page 3 magazine.

Talking about Shriya, my cousin calls her a piece of dirt and butter. She's such acting for glamour shows. Why don't she bother coming into shows like Eastenders and many UK and US soaps and dramas. As they may need people like her to perform like a stripper. I cannot stand her acting, she's useless as an actresses even though shes a good dancer. To be frank, I have no further problems watching glamourised shows with my parents since, at the end of the day. Its up to us whetever we take it on board or not.

shreya can use kollywood as her launch pad, rocket pad or whatever it is but i for one, don't want to see her shed any more clothes because if i want to watch strip shows, there are better alternatives.

Same here!

if shreya wants to give malika sherawats or rakhi sawants competiton with her formidable cleavage, she can do so in bollywood, when she gets the oppourtunity.😊 i find no reason for her to show off her 'goods' in tamil cinema where there were wonderful actresses like jothika & simran who gave more importance to their roles than the size of their clothes.

Thats true Jo and Simran have protrayed roles which, has captured our hearts. They take their storylines more into considersation instead of being a barbie doll like Sherya. If she wants to have competion with other Barbie dolls she, can pack her bags and stay in Bollywood and act in useless movies.

i never said sridevi wore only sarees in bollywood but at least she knew when to show off & when it take it easy with the exposure.😊 comparing sridevi with shreya is an insult to sridevi. sridevi is an actress who exposes with a limit, you don't see her eye-popping cleavage in all her films while in shreya's films, that's all you'll ever see.😆😆😆 an exception would be Awarapan but that was in bollywood & i'm talking about kollywood.

Sridevi, is the best actress and no one cannot compare with her!

exposure when done with a limit is considered sexy but when done overboard, it'll be called trying too hard to be sexy or in cruder terms, slutty.😊 True, and they think they are. Are they gonna get the sexist award of the year? I dont think so.

and those women whom you mentioned malika, rakhi whom shreya can give competiton to sadly fall in the latter category. so what does that make shreya? Well, Shreya falls in the same category.

shreya can emote if she wants to? well let's see her do that first then maybe we can discuss her emotional ranges & acting skills.😊 i would LOVE to hear about her acting skills if there are any. Good idea, meanwhile i wont be watching any movies of hers. Otherwise, i will drag her blob hair.

for me, shreya emotes as well as a teaspoon so the best actress award? dream on shreya. dream on. i hope you achieve at least that in your dreams.😊 OH LA LA LA! Good luck for becoming a best teaspoon actress award! 😆 😆

if she's actually a smart cookie, maybe then she can use her intelligence to prove herself as an actress instead of ousting other heroines in from big banner films & shedding clothes. Thats gonna be hard for actress like her since, she's never gonna find herself a real storyline to prove herself.

any girl with a good figure can shed clothes but only few can actually master the act of acting.😊 Thats correct. Thats the reason of being deglamorised.

so to me, no matter how long this debate lasts, shreya is a vulgar actress with no visible acting skills whatsoever. Usha agrees with my little sis!

let her prove herself & i'll eat my words. serious.😛

i totally agree with the comments jenim, leena and usha.
Sridevi cannot be compared with Shreya! 😲

Leena, I noticed ur siggie...ur a fan of Ranbir/sonam too? I didnt like the film, and it was a huge flop here, but I LOVED the couple. I heard in an interview with them, that there might be some romance between them. Sonam kept quiet but Ranbir asked her ut over the phone and she said yes. 😆 😳

For those of you who want to see curly Trisha, see the Simarn prashanth movie Jodi. She comes in as Simran's college mate....with lots of curls and dull face. If she can make it to stardom...who cant!!!

UP,
I learned a lot from your responses and they are pretty good.
To my knowledge, no kollywood actress makes more than 35-40 lakhs in white. That is a pittance for being made to wear glamorous clothes, that too in just a couple of songs or scenes in a movie. That's calling it a stretch.
Shreya was smart - she had grown stale in gultland and made a splash in TN. And what a splash! Sivaji bagged more than 100 crores and her name's in there!! She is now a bigger household name than even most or all tamil actresses. What an achievement!
Sridevi acted extraordinarily in just one movie, 'moonram pirai' where she came 2 votes shy of winning the national award. As far as I know, she has no national awards. Meera Jasmine has, but does that make her the better actress? BTW, I think MJ is a tremendous actress.
Here are some instances in her factfile:
1) In 16 vayathinile, her very first movie she does an exhibition for Kamal. Standing in a pond she lifts her skirt for a leg show.
2) In 'Guru' she wears a white blouse and romps in the pond with Kamal. A lot is revealed. In 'Sigappu Rojakkal' she wears a swimsuit and plays in a swimming pool with Kamal. And 'Priya', don't even ask. She's modelling a mini-skirt for some unknown character.
3) In her very first Hindi movie she does the song "nainon me sapna" with an aging Jeetendar. She leaves nothing to the imagination.
These are all very few instances over a long career that can never be clouded. Today Sridevi is a cult figure and hearthrob to many yesteryear fans.
I don't see any reason why Shriya can't turn out that way. Give her time.
I've not seen any movies of Shriya's since Sivaji. After such a super duper success, it would be to Kollywood's/bollywood/hollywood to strike when the iron's hot - don't ask me WHAT iron? Or interest to get her the best story lines and milk her. And she has the rare power to refuse as well with her kind of popularity.
If after all that any one does not want to watch Shriya, their loss, kollywood/bollywood's/hollywood's gain. A bit of glamor does not hurt for entertainment. Otherwise we'll be getting into art v. commercial movies. It is a waste to watch any movie that gets bad reviews anyways.

You hit the nail on the head!

This was the name of the movie that I was looking for that I couldn't recollect, when I posted earlier. Not only does she look dull in this movie, she looks plump as well. She probably starved herself, before she got cast as a heroine later on.
