Why it’s popular: Kushboo’s comedic timing as the double role of “Shanti” and “Lakshmi” in this Kamal Haasan classic is legendary. Clips of her dialogue “Enna Koduma Saravanan” have been turned into countless memes and reels.

Before diving into the filmography, it’s essential to understand her impact. Kushboo debuted as a child artist in Hindi films but shot to stardom in Tamil with Manidhanin Maruppugal (1986). However, it was the late 1980s and early 1990s when she became the most sought-after heroine, often paired opposite stars like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Vijayakanth.

Her ability to balance glamour with strong emotional roles made her a director's favourite. Unlike many heroines of her era, Kushboo transitioned into character roles seamlessly in the 2000s before entering politics and production.

Why it’s popular: Featuring Vijay and Kushboo in a energetic club number. The video marks her last major dance number of the 2000s and is a fan favourite for its nostalgia.
