It is tough for a woman to take up direction in South India without having already established herself in the industry in some other capacity. But, Priya, Madhumitha and Nandhini did it, and in style. They took up diverse subjects and proved their mettle. Priya created quite a wave with Kanda Naal Mudhal while Nandhini’s debut Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru was talked about too. Madhumitha’s Vallamai Thaaraayo earned her State government award and her next Kola Kolya Mundirikka is expected to be a laugh riot. In the same vein, we cannot forget about Farah Khan who has made commercial entertainment flicks her specialty.
