We wonder if any other actress would have had the courage to take on the role of Malarvizhi in Iraivi. A role that completely defied the prototype set for women in Tamil cinema, Pooja Devariya essayed the character of a young widow who had no qualms about accepting her biological needs, in perfect fashion.
Her performance as Anu in Kuttrame Thandanai and as Aarthi in Aandavan Kattalai qualify her for the Behindwoods Gold Medal 2017 for Best Actress-Critics Choice.
Congrats Pooja!
