2. Boss Engira Baskaran
This 2010 Tamil flick, in which Nayantara shared screen space with Arya, is indeed a memorable one in her career. She carried the role of an amiable teacher with great ease. The way in which she gives a pregnant smile to all the gimmicks of Arya made her indeed watchable.
3. Raja Rani
This 2013 Tamil flick Nayantara had a plump role for Nayantara. She returned to Tamil film industry after a three-year break and stunned us with her matured performance. In fact, she was the show stealer of the film. And the Filmfare Award for Best Actress Tamil was only a proof of her sincere attempt.
4. Naanum Rowdy Thaan

5. Sri Rama Rajyam
This 2011 Telugu flick can be considered the career-best performance of Nayantara since she dared to play the role of Goddess Sita (with perfection) even though she is known for her glamour quotient. She even won the State Award for her splendid performance in this film.

7. Viswasam
After a long, she joined Ajith Kumar in Viswasam. As usual, their combination worked out well. Nayan played Niranjana, wife of Thookudurai, played by Thala Ajith. The romance and the sentiment scenes were awe-inspiring and the film collected well at the box office. Although it is Thala’s movie, Nayanthara was given equal space with Ajith. The director of this film is “Siva.”
