She was an alluring Lady Macbeth in Maqbool and treated us with a noteworthy performance in Maachis. Embracing diverse work, she mesmerised in Mani Ratnam’s Tamil hit Iruvar and the romantic Tamil adaptation of Sense and Sensibility – Kandukondain Kandukondain. In addition to these movies, the festival will also screen hits like Astitva and Cheeni Kam – both of which brought out the best in her as a performer. Cinema lovers will be delighted to witness other favourites like Mira Nair’s The Namesake – based on the novel by Jhumpa Lahiri, Chandni Bar, depicting the dark underbelly of Mumbai’s underworld and her power packed performance in Drishyam.
