10. Tamana
After the debacle of Kedi we thought that she was gone for good, never to be seen again. But all credit to Tamanna for sticking it through the tough times and choosing a script like Kalloori for her comeback. As of now her choice seems vindicated with offers coming in generously. A role against Surya already in her kitty, 2008 has to be a year of careful choices and consolidation.

8. Sneha
One of the senior most names in the list, 2007 has been another year when she has hung around finding favor with a few makers. While Naan Avanillai got her back into reckoning, Pallikoodam gave a good account of her acting skills. But the big commercial success is still missing from her recent record. Needs a good break to get back in the top 5.
7. Padma Priya
This actress has been trying hard to make a serious dent in Kollywood and things seem to be improving for her. What is admirable is her attempt to reinvent herself in a more film friendly style. Sattham Podathay and Mirugam were her releases this year, both grabbing attention, the latter for many wrong reasons too. 2008 may be the year we get to know how well her efforts pay off.
6. Trisha
She has not been lucky with her big projects in the recent past and the endless postponement of Bheema has done her no good. But for Kreedom, she might not have been in this list. Her performance proved that she can still deliver the goods. With Bheema finally coming for Pongal 2008 and with still an intact loyal fan following, her fortunes might take a turn for the better
5. Nayantara
For a lady who chose to concentrate more on Tollywood in 2007, a top 5 spot in Tamil is really commendable. While the delightful Balleilaka cameo in Sivaji was of great help, it was the stylish makeover for the year end Billa that earned her all the brownie points. Her line up for 2008 is seriously loaded.
4. Jyothika
3. Priyamani She made her debut a few years back but has been struggling to get the toehold. She finally got it and it was more than a toehold, it was a firm foothold in Kollywood and in the hearts of many fans. Paruthiveeran's Muthazhagu will not be easily forgotten. Malaikottai was a commercially successful happy joyride but we expect more of Muthazhagu, don't we? 2. Asin She should get the tag for the most consistent performer of Kollywood for the past 3 years. Ever since her debut with M. Kumaran, she has never let anyone down. Beginning with Pokkiri and ending with Vel, 2007 has been another great year for this girl from Malabar. Aalwar was a rare aberration. 2008 is big, Dasavatharam. 1. Shirya At the moment there seems to be no stopping this lady. Signing Sivaji was the best thing that has happened to her and full marks to Shriya for maximum utilization of the opportunity. Seldom have heroines looked better on screen. Azhagiya Thamizh Magan might not have been the ideal follow through but that has not affected her. Reference: www.behindwoods.com |
