K. Balachander and his Women

The ?Iyakkunar Sigaram? K. Balachander was one of the few directors in the country who gave the importance that women deserved in his films and created strong and multi dimensional female characters that stand the test of time. On his 86th birthday, we take a look at some of KB?s women and how uniquely he has sketched each one.

Selvi (Sridevi) in 'Moondru Mudichu'

A film starring Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan but the core is Selvi portrayed Sridevi, who has to deal with the murderer (Rajini) of her lover (Kamal) who is now her stepson. As the title suggests the story is very complicated, but KB brought to life a very strong heroine who matures from a carefree girl to the head of her new family who refines her stepson.
