J. Jayalalithaa is a name that doesn’t need any introduction. The actress-cum-politician has established a spectacular reign in both reel and real life.

Born on 24 February 1948, Jayalalithaa was just 16-year-old teenager who bravely stepped into Tamil Nadu, entering the cine field instead of college because of her family’s financial instability, vowing to become one the best-known actresses. Apart from stamping her name in Tamil industry, she spread her wings into Bollywood industry too.

Fondly called as Thalaivi, she have acted over 140 films in the 1960s and 1970s as child and lead actor in multiple languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. She is also known for rendering non-film devotional songs and a few numbers picturized on her in Tamil films.

Dedicating a special tribute to this humble lady on her birthday, we’ve curated a list of her works that is still ruling the Indian Cine Field.

Chandhrodhayam (1966)

The K. Shankar-directed film featured Jayalalithaa as a rich heiress who runs away from home to escape an engagement and is rescued by a scrupulous reporter played by M.G. Ramachandran (MGR).

The Tamil language film won Jayalalithaa the Tamil Nadu Cinema Fan Award for Best Actress.
