Would you believe it if we said Karthika worked as an actor actively for only two years? As shocking as that might sound, it is the truth. Although she made her first on-screen appearance in 1979, playing the childhood portions of the character originally portrayed by Srividya, it was in Oru Painkilikatha (1984) that Karthika made her official debut, albeit in a small role. In 1985, Oru Painkilikatha’s director, Balachandra Menon, gave her a career breakthrough by casting her in a key role in his film Manicheppu Thurannappol. The next two years belonged entirely to her as she etched her name in the golden annals of Malayalam and Tamil cinema, appearing in some of the most celebrated films of all time.

Yet, the impact of her film choices and performances in 1986 and ’87 was so profound that, even after three decades, Karthika’s face …
