, the heroes were given more importance. But as a whiz of fresh of air there were also some films in which heroines shared same footage; in fact, in some flicks they were even given more importance. That's a welcoming sign, right? Well, Nettv4u has come out with an exclusive list of films in which the heroines had same scope or more scope compared to heroes.
1. Chitthi
This 1966 flick had Padmini playing the pivotal role. Though this flick had big names as '

' and M R Radha, Padmini steals your heart through her significant role of a woman sacrificing her love for the sake of her family.
2. Thillana Mohanambal
In this 1968 flick, Padmini dons the title role. Sivaji Ganesan, who was an established actor, seemed to have no issue with the importance of Padmini's role. Padmini gives a stellar performance in the film as the beautiful dancer who is also romantically inclined towards 'Sivaji Ganesan', a nadaswaram player. Padmini's dancing is the highlight of the movie and being a trained dancer; she danced her way to our hearts.
3. Thamarai Nenjam
This film was released on 1968. Gemini Ganesan, Saroja Devi, and Vanisree essayed lead roles in the movie. Saroja Devi played the protagonist (she is lotus-hearted!) and won our sympathy all the way as the one-sided lover.
4. Iru Kodugal
This film hit the screens on 1969. We surely connect with the characters of the movie, thanks to the outstanding performances of

5. Kula Vilakku
This flick hit the screens on 1969. This flick too was another notable film in the career of Saroja Devi. Here too, she sacrifices for the sake of her family.
6. Gopurangal Saivathillai
In this 1982 drama, Suhasini plays the village belle, who yearns for the love of her estranged husband, with perfection. Mohan was the lead actor in the film, but Suhasini and Radha were given more importance.

12 Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya
This movie hit the screens on 2010. And it's an entire Trisha Krishnan film though Silambarasan had his share of wooing the lead lady. Having said that, 'Silambarasan' too did his part well.
