A gritty story about surviving as an acid attack victim.<\/p>\nWhere to watch? <\/em>\u2014 Netflix<\/p>\nUyare tells the story of an acid attack victim<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n
6.City of God (2011)<\/h3>\n City of God<\/em> weaves interconnected stories that happen over a road accident in Cochin, very much in the vein of Traffic which led the wave for the \u2018New generation cinema\u2019 with non-linear narrative. The crime thriller however did not do well in box office\u2014critics have pointed out that had it been released at a later period in Malayalam cinema, it would\u2019ve been well received. Parvathy is Marathakam, a Tamil immigrant who has run away from an abusive first marriage. She develops feelings for a fellow immigrant but marries (and leaves) a petty thief. Much drama and of course, Marathakam is a pure treat to watch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
7.Notebook (2006)<\/h3>\n For those wanting to watch Parvathy\u2019s earliest films, there\u2019s her second film Notebook <\/em>directed by Rosshan Andrews and written by Bobby-Sanjay. The movie, set in a boarding school in Ooty follows three friends, young love and a teen pregnancy. Parvathy plays the role of Pooja, an ambitious, young girl who makes a selfish choice to secure her future. The film raked up some controversy for the subject matter among adults but was a hit among teens.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
8.Maryan (2013)<\/h3>\n Maryan<\/em> (transl Immortal) is no doubt Dhanush\u2019s film, almost like a solo adventure survival drama. But Parvathy who plays Panimalar, his love interest, gives an equally convincing performance in this Tamil film, be it wooing the man she loves or portraying the anguish of waiting for him, thus amplifying his character arc. Dhanush plays a fisherman who runs into money trouble for his lady love and goes to Sudan to work as a labourer on contract basis. But he is kidnapped by terrorists before he can be reunited with Panimalar. The movie is based on the real-life incident of Tamil migrant workers held hostage in Sudan. The cinematography shows the contrast between water teeming with life and the arid desert looming around like death. Be it the long-distance phone calls or the sly glances at the one you love or passing steel tiffins with curry during a movie screening, Maryan<\/em> is a wonderful watch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
9.Virus (2019)<\/h3>\n This close-to-life medical thriller starring many actors in equally meaty roles is as nail biting as the Nipah virus outbreak that shook Kerala. Parvathy plays the role of Dr. Annu who was pivotal in finding the cause of the virus. Watch the film not just for Parvathy\u2019s brilliant performance (much praised because she enacted the mannerisms of Dr. Annu with ease) but also for the role of doctors, nurses, politicians, other staff in battling the outbreak by putting their own lives at risk.<\/p>\n

10.Poo (2008)<\/h3>\n A Tamil romantic drama with really helped showcase Parvathy\u2019s acting talents. In this rural saga, she is Mari, a new bride living happily with her husband who owns a small provision store. When she visits her village for a festival and meets her old love (and cousin), something changes. Wonderful secondary characters and beautiful depiction of how love matures with age.<\/p>\n
And that makes it ten!<\/p>\n
