I do miss Simran's acting. Check out the segment at 1:23:36 to 1:23:38. Her sex appeal sometimes tended to undermine her remarkable abilities as an actress. But she always delivered when the script demanded an impact. Jyothika came closest to Simran's abilities but only later in her career. Simran was consistent from the beginning, a natural performer. Sneha was also pretty reliable all through her career. But I feel Sneha's total impact scenes were a much smaller number as she didn't always get juicy scripts like Simran did. Simran's dance skills were unrivaled though. At her peak, no other actress could touch her when it came time to let it rip. It was no surprise then that her physique never strayed out of shape at a time when many actresses in southern India always carried flab. But above all of Simran's abilities stood her ability to generate atmosphere, a rare, scene-stealing gift. As her career wound down in the mid-2000s, I also lost interest in newer Tamil movies as a more engaging lifestyle in the US emerged. So I can't tell how these actresses are faring today. Of course, I still return to these older movies from the 90s now and then.
