Happy Birthday!
Aishwarya Rajesh our very own ‘Chennai ponnu’ is one of the most successful actresses in South India. It took years, meticulous intelligent films, and skills, for her to reach where she is. This actress turns 30 today and there’s never been a day when she didn’t impress. Right from her earnest performance on-screen and her exuberant candor off-screen. Acting for a few years now, here’s a look at 5 of her best performance thus far!
Kanaa
Kanaa, a difficult role but the actor simply hits it out of the park with her riveting performance, living the role in every frame. A village girl who loves her father and wants to make him happy, and so she becomes a cricketer. The discrimination she faces and the hardship she endures forms the story, with the rest of the film heavily relying on her performance.
Vada Chennai
The bold portrayal of women in Tamil cinema oscillates between hit-and-miss; where filmmakers occasionally nail it but more often than not. Her bold performance in Vada Chennai is something that could never b easily forgotten. Playing a bold North Madras girl, Aishwarya’s dialogue delivery and body language as Padma ensured she had you rapt in attention. She made the character lovable and watching her on-screen was a treat.
Sakhhavu
Aishwarya Rajesh gives an impressive performance as comrade Janaki. One of the strengths of the film. It’s her Malayalam debut and she simply grabbed everyone’s attention. Aishwarya gave justice to her role.
Dharma Durai
Aishwarya plays a village girl who is timid and shy who falls in love with a doctor. She has a brief role but attracts us with her charming performance. As Anbu Selvi, she brings out the essence of a perfect rustic character. Experiencing heartbreak, she ends her life and this gives the movie a huge shift.
Kaaka Mutta
Aishwarya gained fame after Kaaka Mutta in which she played a mother of two. She was natural and flawless. The movie was a huge success and it bagged her many awards and recognition. Her performance gave life to the character and portrayed the typical life of people in poverty.
