Powerful Female Characters In Women-centric Malayalam Movies

The following Malayalam women-centric movies list have been ranked as the sheer best. These inspirational movies with the characters represent the real women, whom we admire the most.

However, the scenario seems to have changed a lot. While there are a few rotten, sexist movies from time to time, many new and young directors are trying to change that.

Instead of portraying women as damsels in distress, they are now shown as their own saviours. And this change is the breath of fresh air that we were hoping for. Thanks to new-age directors like Aashiq Abu and Rosshan Andrrews, women are finally getting the real representation that they deserve.

But every now and then, some of the top and upcoming Malayalam actresses absolutely shined as the female protagonists in Malayalam thrillers.

Who can forget the ferocious Shobana in Manichitrathazhu? Rima Kallingal delivered a knockout punch in 22 Female Kottayam and Nayanthara nailed the passively aggressive role of Vasuki in Puthiya Niyamam. With the new kid on the block, Samyuktha Menon receiving accolades for Lilli, let’s take a look at the strong female leads in Malayalam thrillers who stirred our minds.
