If you haven’t watched Poombatta (1971), yours truly recommends you to do that. Not just for the fact that it was a simple, straightforward story, without any fussy ‘superstars’ of that era ( well..almost, it does have Raagini in a guest role), but for laying it out in brilliant contrast, the acting prowess of a little girl called Baby Sridevi, or the Sridevi as we know her today. Karoor Neelakanta Pillai’s literary work ( I am of the belief that it has to be one of his short stories, if it ever was, or else he wrote it for the screen, and no, I have NOT read any of his literary works which I plan to, soon). The story was the done-to-death oneliner of little-girl-redeemed-from-her-suffering-by-kindly couple, and BK Pottekkad ( the director), gives you an advance warning that it is of course, a ‘Children’s Film.’

But what blows you away is the performance of Baby Sridevi as the suffering little Sharada, who is ‘adopted’ by her mother’s dear friend ( TR Omana as Devaki) on her death. Life soon turns hell

Sridevi as a child artist in the Malayalam melodrama, Poombatta(1971).

A precocious talent, Sridevi's excellent in the film. Though she's often said she mimicked the director and like a parrot, just recited whatever was told to her, when you watch the film, none of that translates on screen. Its a wondrous performance by an eight-year-old child. A child, who went on to become the multiple award-winning and legendary actress of today.
