The name Sridevi needs no introduction as she was one of the top actresses of the 80's and 90's who entertained us time and again with her memorable performances in films like Sadma, Chaalbaaz, Chandni, Mr.India, Lamhe etc. After getting married to veteran producer Boney Kapoor, Sridevi took a break from films and was last seen in Judaai which released in 1997. Now after more than a decade, the dazzling diva is back in Bollywood with her comeback film English Vinglish. The promos have generated a tremendous response and from the looks of it, Sridevi, who plays a housewife struggling to learn English in a foreign land, has a winner on hands.

Among other things, the year 2012 has certainly been a year of comebacks for many of our B-town leading ladies. We bring you a brief snapshot at some of the comebacks made by actresses this year.
Karisma Kapoor in Dangerous Ishhq
Karisma Kapoor ruled the roost in the 90's and was rightfully termed as 'Heroine No.1' However, the actress took a sabbatical from work post her marriage to Sanjay Kapur in 2003 and was only seen in one film Mere Jeevan Saathi which released in 2006. This year, Karisma made a comeback with Vikram Bhatt's thriller Dangerous Ishhq. Even though the film had her in an author-backed role, sadly it didn't find many takers.
Nepali beauty Manisha Koirala made a sensational debut with Subhash Ghai's Saudagar in 1991. Post that, she went on to work with the biggest of names in popular films like Dil Se, Bombay, Khamoshi- The Musical, 1942 A Love Story, Agnisakshi, Akele Hum Akele Tum, Gupt and Company. However, after Company in 2002, her career went downhill and she was seen in few B-grade films like Market, Tum- A Dangerous Obsession, Chaahat- Ek Nasha etc. She even got hitched in 2010 to Samrat Dahal and soon there were cracks in her marriage as well. Last year the actress had a brief role in Onir's I AM and this year Manisha is making a comeback with Ram Gopal Varma's 3D horror flick Bhoot Returns. Hope this film resurrects her career!
The bubbly, chirpy, dimpled beauty Preity Zinta stole the hearts of millions ever since made her debut with Dil Se. Preity later followed it up with memorable performances in films like Soldier, Kya Kehna, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Koi Mil Gaya, Lakshya, Veer Zaara, Salaam Namaste and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. However post Jhoom Barabar Jhoom in 2007 and Deepa Mehta's English film Heaven On Earth in 2008, the actress wasn't seen much on the silver screen except in a few cameos here and there. She also got busy with her IPL team Kings XI Punjab. Now Preity is hoping to start a new innings with Ishkq In Paris, a film which also happens to be her first home production. It remains to be seen if Preity is able to weave her magic all over again.
