Marathi women and Accent??? EV - Page 3

well i agree with the accent- and if we are comparing globally- yes kate winslet despite having a thick british accent had to let it go and speak american for titanic!

so yes- that was one flaw but then again, she is a pleasant surprise in today's times in bollywood where an actress can easily be projected from a particular country in every movie just to facilitate her short comings and many more such things!

Yup, she has some problem with the accent but I think that didnt matter much because she was portrayed more like an Indian woman than a Maharashtrian in the film.

Anyways I am eagerly waiting to watch Sridevi back again with another movie soon.Bollywood needs such feel good movies.

I have watched her during her HEY days as they say it. I was very disappointed in Sridevi's "SOUTH INDIAN" accent even after all these years. As a Marathi lady Sri fails big time. I thought the story would unfold as she a Southie and her hubby a Marathi. Sridevi a total let down in the language department. Her Hindi too was not spontaneous never been a Sridevi fan in those days nor am I impressed now.

One needs to watch Meryl Streep in her various movies to learn how to speak with accents. That lady is a Professional. Hats off to her. The reason I bring this up is simple, at the end of the day an actor is a " PROFESSIONAL" and he/ she needs to prepare for his or her " CHARACTER". We have a Amir Khan who prepares for his..so why didn't Sridevi?

sri devi is another lazy bum when it comes to accent .meryl streep is just in another league .BW stars r poles apart from their HW counterparts when it comes to professionalism and being in character for their movies.there r plenty of A listers even now who seem the same in all their movies .i m not talking names here i m sure u must have guesses who i am talking about

Sridevi's accent has always bothered me! But, at the end of the day its her expression that blows me away everytime! Watch Chalbaaz for her comic timing and Sadma for her emotions! But yes she still hasn't grasped the accent, she should learn from Rekha who was terrible with her accent in her earlier movies but improved it later. And, it is really hard to tell now😳

Laziness personified..is Sri. Sad but true.

Just be thankful she didn't have a South Indian accent playing a Marathi (or Maharashtrian) lady.

Frankly speaking critics have been raving about her performance in EV bcoz she is a legend now and they don't want to give any negative remarks about the yester year legend plus the movie overshadowed her performance(Accent part especially). Movie was brilliant, the script was strong and people din't bother the accent much , but take a closer look was she convincing as a marathi women? The answer is a big no, coz forget the marathi(they din't speak a bit of marathi in the movie or maybe they did little)even the Hindi she spoke was so not convincing. Disappointed big time.
