Madhavi

More than 300 films across five languages in two decades is a staggering body of work, and it tells me everything about Madhavi's command of South Indian cinema. To dominate Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam screens through the 1980s means her presence translated across cultural and linguistic boundaries, which is no small feat. A Filmfare Award only confirms what the numbers already suggest. I am drawn to performers who carry an entire era on their shoulders, and Madhavi clearly did. There is a workmanlike heroism in that kind of output that I find deeply impressive and a little awe-inspiring.
