Top Women-oriented Films Of Kollywood

Women have a unique sense of determination that is so alluring. They may win or lose but they don’t cease their struggle; that’s the beauty of women. Having said that, Kollywood has churned some really good films that focused on the strength of women. Let’s take a look at some of these films.

3. Kandukondein Kandukondein

Well, this movie has a special place in my heart since it talks about the self-realization process of two independent women. After all, love is skin deep. Even though there are three male leads in this movie it’s the women who walk with the accolades. Aishwarya Rai was most spontaneous and candid in this movie while Tabu Tabu is a wonderful gift to the Indian cinema. She >> Read More... delivered an equally splendid performance.

5. Anjali

And here is another Revathy movie for you. In Anjali, she ably portrayed the role of a mother who longs for the love of her differently abled child. The scene in which Baby Shamili finally calls out to her mother and the way in which Revathy responds deserve special applause. This movie is a tribute to motherhood.

6. Snehithiye

​Sujatha is the sole breadwinner of her family. Most women can relate to her character in this movie. Sujatha essayed her role brilliantly as the determined woman who braves all odds.

Here is another movie of Revathy in this list. This film remains fresh in the hearts of Tamil audiences. Revathy, who suffered a heartbreak, finds it hard to accept her husband, but when she finally does, she does it with full conviction. Being a Maniratnam directorial venture, this movie handled emotions in a very fine manner.

9. Samsaram Adhu Minsaram

​Visu is known for his women-centric films and Samsaram Adhu Minsaram is a gem in his crown. Though there are quite some female characters in the movie, Lakshmi’s character deserves special mention for the solidarity and perseverance she shows in uniting the split joint family.

10. Roja

And yet another Maniratnam film to crown this list is Roja. How a rustic naïve girl evolves as a courageous woman forms the crux of the story. Madhubala has done a superb job as the woman who wants her husband (who is held captive in North India) alive at any cost. Language doesn’t act as a barrier for her as long as the passion to find her husband kept alive.
