Best Actress of Bengali Cinema in 2014

In 2014 there was no Tollywood heroine who can be called the uncrowned queen of Tollywood , most of the commercial film heroines who are always in the rat race were lagging behind but some unconventional actresses proved themselves with some finest performances. So here is the top five Tollywood actresses. This ranking is solely based on their performances throughout the year not on their box office success.

1.Sawastika Mukherjee - There is no doubt that Swastika is always the most
controversial heroine of Tollywood , in 2014 too she was in news mostly for wrong reasons like her linkups and break up, her infamous suicide attempt ,doing a bold topless scene but in middle of all these she excelled through with her brilliant portrayal of a depressed alcoholic Tollywood heroine in the movie "Take One". In "Take One" the character she played was very much close to her real life and she gave life to the character so comfortably that everyone will sympathies for the character. In this film she also gave a topless shot which became the talk of the town but she proved once again how bold she is and she does not care for anyone. Apart from that she also impressed us in her small but interesting role of a Bengali loving RJ in "Jaatiswar".
Her performances were appreciated in both the movies and also it got good response at the box office too.

2.Gargi Roychowdhury - Gargi Roychowdhury have hardly played a lead role before ,even she hardly get seen in Bengali movies but in 2014 she appeared in three movies which were "Raamdhanu", "Bunohaans" and "Khaad".In "Raamdhanu" she played the lead role for first time in her career and impressed us with her brilliant acting.Here she played the role of a young mother who is facing a lot of problems to get her son admitted to a good school. She looked very convincing with her look and body language. Then she appeared in a short yet impressive role of a sex worker in "Bunohaans".Finally she played a successful Bengali movie actress in "Khaad". Here too she managed to left her impression in the middle of a dozen of actors. All her movies were successful at the box office too.

3.Aparna Sen - Aparna Sen is not a regular heroine anymore rather she is an established filmmaker now, but thanks to director Srijit Mukherjee's unconventional script that we get the opportunity to watch Aparna Sen in front of camera in the movie "Chatushkone". Aparna Sen played the role of a female director who was an actress once, this character was quite similar with her real life.In this film Aparna Sen proved that age is no barrier for a good performer , provided a good character.

4.Roopa Ganguly - Another unconventional actress who is not in the rat race of the commercial film heroines , Roopa Ganguly played the lead role in two movies in 2014. In both the movies she played her character with near perfection. In "Punascha" she played a middle aged woman opposite the veteran actor Soumitra Chatterjee and proved herself. In the other movie "Nayanchapar Din Ratri" she played a maid and she was excellent in the role.Her make up , costume and body language were too much realistic and convincing. None of the movies got good business but it does not matter as the movies were appreciated by its target audiences as well as Roopa's performance was also appreciated.


5.Mimi Chakraborty - Mimi Chakraborty is surely the future of Bengali movies , from her
debut this girl is balancing her career well choosing good roles. She has never played just a regular commercial film heroine who has nothing to do apart from shaking a leg with the hero in songs. In 2014 too she acted in four movies and in every movie she had an important role. In her first release "Bangali Babu English Mem" she did a good job as the modern woman who goes to study abroad. Then in "Galpo Holeo Satyi" she had a small role but she left her mark in the small role. In "Yoddha" she played double role of an ancient time's princess and a modern day young girl. She played both the roles with confidence. In her last release for the year "Khaad", she played a supporting role as a young married girl in her honeymoon. She made her presence felt in the middle of the ensemble cast.

Parno Mitra - Apur Panchali 
Koyel Mallick - Highway
Shreelekha Mitra - Chaar
Sudipta Chakraborty  - Bunohaans
Shrabanti  - Bunohaans
