I remember sn lakshmi with "edhir neechal", "server sundharam" and the likes. Not many mentions her other roles other than mahanadhi and devar mahan likes. She did a fantabulous job with earlier generation.
My mother in law's place is near raja annamalai puram, Once during morning walk (5 years back) I saw her driving her palatial car with such grace and ease. I recognised her and gave a pleasant smile, surprised to see a shocking persona difference from the reel to the real. She recognised my smile and was so happy to see a normal person on road recognising her, she smiled back so gently. As per my mothers words, "very daring lady for those days".
Herez a scene from baghdad thirudan. Watch first 9 minutes. sn lakshmi, totally diff get-up as baghdad queen, and u can see her engaging in sword fight , and did a good job at that. Watch first 10 mins at the end of which she dies.
