Tabu, a Bollywood actress who personifies bravery and elegance, is among the industry’s best performers. She is renowned for her effortless and well-received acting. Tabu plays every part she signs for flawlessly, whether it’s a basic one like playing a mother figure or a major one like leading the entire film by herself.
Though her exceptional acting abilities are well valued, these are a few underappreciated films in which she starred.
‘Maqbool’
“Maqbool” is the narrative of Maqbool, Abbaji, and Nimmi; it is a gloomy tale of family, passion, and throne. Maqbool chose to assassinate Abbaji in order to fulfil Nimmi’s wish to see him ascend to the throne, despite the fact that he and Abbaji were close and engaged in illicit business together. But the pair is subsequently haunted by the horrific crime.
‘Haider’
Even though she had a supporting part in Vishal Bharadwaj’s dark comedy “Haider,” starring Shahid Kapoor, Tabu stole the show. The Hamlet-inspired film portrays the tensions that exist between Pakistan and India over Kashmir. It is an unvarnished depiction of the terrorism, killings, and other crimes of that nature that occur in Kashmir as a result of outside meddling.
‘The Namesake’
When Tabu played Irrfan Khan alongside him in the Hollywood picture “The Namesake,” she performed an amazing job. The lives of a Bengali couple and their kids who reside in the USA is the focus of the film. The movie’s main topic revolves around how their lives are affected by the foreign culture and how much they want home.
‘Chandni Bar’
“Chandni Bar,” a film that follows Mumtaz through her life, is surrounded by sorrow and suffering. Following the murder of her family, she moves to Mumbai to live with her uncle, who makes her do pub dances. She becomes terrified after he rapes her later. In addition, she falls in love with a mobster who subsequently deserts her and their kids.
‘Prema Desam’
Prema Desam, a 1996 Tamil film, centres on the lives of three characters: Arun. Both Divya and Karthik. Arun, the wealthy youngster from the other side, meets Karthik, the orphan and captain of his college football team. Their friendship is going well until Divya, who they both fell in love with, enters their lives.
