She couldn’t have
chosen a better swansong
on the big screen. Until
her last movie, we never
realized that such a sensitive
actress existed within the
normally vivacious Jyothika.
Mozhi was a revelation;
it was also a disappointment
because there was the realization
that we had been missing
such a captivating facet
of Jyothika for so long.
The confident portrayal
of a deaf and dumb person
was far removed from the
general cinematic stereotypes.
Who can forget the psychic
Chandramukhi and the haunting
chant of ‘Ra Ra…’
or the villainous lady who
shocked us with her cunning
in Pachaikili Muthucharam?
