Radhika
Kamal Haasan did a few movies with this undoubtedly high-calibre actress. What little they did, they did superbly.
And though she might not conform to the regulation beauty rules of Tamil heroines, Radhika showed that she was no novice in the movie Swathi Muthyam.
With Kamal playing an autistic, kind man who offers marriage to a widow, thus opening the way to a whole new life, Radhika brought class to the role with her bravura performance, matching Kamal move for move in the acting department, and proving her mettle in a role still unrivalled by most of her contemporaries.
