HAPPY BIRTHDAY NITHYA MENEN: 5 BEST PERFORMANCES OF OUR BELOVED KANMANI

Ala Modalaindi

Ala Modalaindi which co-starred Nani endeared Nithya to the Telugu audiences. It explored two people meeting in a crisis situation and what became of their lives, post that. The actress was lauded for her natural acting chops.

Ustad Hotel

Ustad Hotel helped Dulquer Salmaan become a household name in Kerala even though Second Show had released much before. Nithya managed to impress critics even in her limited role of a Muslim woman hailing from a conservative family but being quite liberal herself.

Ishq

The premise is rather simple – boy meets girl, falls in love but has to go through a lot to win her and that’s when the screenplay stretches to give us this heartwarming love story, taken to new heights, courtesy Nithya’s effervescent screen presence and warm acting. We really ‘Ishq’ her, if truth be told.

OK Kanmani

Mani Ratnam had always explored modern relationships – whichever era it was and this time around, he cast the spell on live-in relationships and came thumbs-up. Nithya was the perfect foil for the dashing and charming Dulquer Salmaan and they simply stole our hearts, to say the least.

Kanchana 2

Spoiler alert. Nithya is the ghost because of the demons of her past. Portraying a rural-ish character with a disability in her walk, the actress proved that she could cakewalk through any role.
