The role: Janaki -- Unwed mother and lead actress in a small-scale nautanki group.
Power play: It is hard to imagine anyone except Madhuri playing the complex maverick, Janaki. Both defiant and vulnerable, she is not afraid to speak her mind or shield her actions, taking on the unconventional society. She has her own ideas living her life.
To Madhuri's credit, her layered act and dramatic conviction was nothing short of electrifying.
