EntertainmentFrom ‘Maheshinte Prathikaaram’ to ‘Soorarai Pottru’ and her more recent work, Aparna Balamurali appears to widen her range as an actor with every passing film.Aparna / InstagramActing alongside Fahadh Faasil in one of his most celebrated movies, Aparna Balamurali made quite a mark with Maheshinte Prathikaaram (2016), director Dileesh Pothan's debut. This was not Aparna's first movie, however, just the one that brought her recognition. In the next few years, she would go on to gain a lot of appreciation, especially for her Tamil film with Suriya, Soorarai Pottru (2020), for which she won the National Film Award for Best Female Actor. Aparna has already had three Malayalam releases this year, including 2018 and Dhoomam. She will also be seen in an upcoming film Padmini with Kunchacko Boban, and appears to be widening her range as an actor with every passing film. Here are a few notable performances from her decade-long career.

FilmsOf late, Malayalam cinema has had a lot of nuanced narratives headlining teens, and they have mostly been well-received. We track the evolution of teen and young adult representation on screen over the years.Mathew, Krishnachandran, AnaswaraMalayalam cinema hasn’t really explored the conflicts that come with teenage as it should have. Instead, we have mostly been rallying around the various dimensions of adulthood—alpha, domesticated, violent, powerful, flawed men and often domesticated yet occasionally empowered, distinctive women. Sporadically we have had stories about teen sexual awakenings (Rathinirvedham), rebellion (Deshadanakili Karayarilla), infatuation, and, teen pregnancy (Notebook).

ReviewNavya’s performance is a world away from her ‘Nandanam’ days. Her body language and expressions are so under control that they convey the fears of Janaki without the slightest bit of exaggeration.When Navya Nair’s character is introduced in Janaki Jaane, she is in an autorickshaw, asking the driver to accompany her to her destination. I have a problem of fear, she tells him. The scene that follows and a song establishes this fear in slightly comical terms. The film, set on this interesting premise, becomes distasteful when it makes a story out of it and sets it in dirty political games. However, it gets saved in the latter half, in its portrayal of the character’s comeback. Director Aneish Upaasana presents an unusual heroine with Janaki. Her fears themselves are not unusual — she is afraid of darkness, of walking alone in side-lanes, and needs company to go to the bathroom.
