Revathy’s immense histrionic talent
is well-known. She is also a keen observer
of the society’s problems and is involved
in bringing several difficult issues into
public debate. Her movie Mitr- my friend received
accolades everywhere. The movie has a sentimental
touch without being melodramatic. Shobhana,
the lead actress of the movie was
honored with the National
award. Phir Milenge, dealt with the serious
subject of AIDS in a humanistic manner without
sounding preachy or judgmental. Shilpa Shetty
was wonderful as the urban, career woman yearning
for her lost love. Salman Khan played the hunk
without his usual macho image. Revathy’s
success in this film has been extracting such
uncharacteristic performances from her lead
cast.
