Movies Like Kajal Aggarwal’s Satyabhama: Imaikkaa Nodigal, Yashoda, Bhaagamathie, & More
Kajal Aggarwal is being widely praised for her portrayal of a police officer in her latest movie, Satyabhama. The Telugu action thriller is currently in theaters and has impressed the audience. Helmed by Suman Chikkala, the movie marks the 60th film of Kajal’s career. The movie has taken forward the legacy of female-led movies in the South Indian film industry.
In Satyabhama, Kajal plays an ACP who goes above and beyond to solve her cases. As she takes on a crucial case, she finds herself emotionally entangled in it. While Satyabhama has become an iconic project due to the actress’s hard work, several South Indian divas have taken up police officer roles and left everyone in awe.
From Nayanthara’s Imaikkaa Nodigal to Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Yashoda, the list of several female-centric movies is below.
Imaikkaa Nodigal
In the 2018 thriller Imaikkaa Nodigal, Nayanthara took the role of a CBI officer who is behind a serial killer. R Ajay Gnanamuthu directed the Tamil film, which features a cast ensemble. Besides the lead actress, the movie also had Anurag Kashyap, Atharvaa, Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna, Manasvi Kottachi, and more.
While the movie opened up to mixed reviews, it earned a decent amount at the box office. The movie’s official synopsis reads, “A dark action thriller telling the story of a CBI officer (Nayanthara)who goes in search of a ruthless serial killer. Things get worse when the murderer targets the former and her family. What is the movie behind the serial murderers? How the cop traces the murderer forms the rest of the story.”
The film is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video and has an IMDb rating of 7.3 out of 10.
Yashoda
The mysterious thriller Yashoda featured Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the lead role. While the movie begins with Samantha playing a naive girl named Yashoda, viewers soon realize she is more than that. The actress did some commendable fight scenes in the movie, leaving the viewers on the edge of their seats with several action sequences.
Yashoda’s official synopsis reads, “An innocent woman, Yashoda, agrees to be a surrogate mother due to her circumstances. She then finds herself trapped in a world of uncertainties. Amidst a myriad of politicians, doctors, and powerful people, how does she battle her way out?” The film is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
It is much like Kajal Aggarwal’s Satyabhama because Yashoda risks her life to save others. Moreover, it was a highly anticipated women-centric movie of 2023.
Bhaagamathie
The 2018 horror action movie Bhaagamathie blew viewers’ minds. Starring Anushka Shetty as an IAS officer named Chanchala, the movie follows the story of a haunted house. Shetty’s performance as a cop garnered a lot of attention and was appreciated well. G Ashokk directed the movie, while S Thaman gave its music. The film is available to watch on ZEE5 and has an IMDb rating of 7 out of 10.
Naachiyaar
Tamil actress Jyothika, known for her versatility and powerful roles, played the titular police officer in the 2018 crime action movie Naachiyaar. The movie touched on various social issues and a horrifying case. Moreover, it featured Jyothika’s magnificent performance that left everyone in awe. Just like Kajal Aggarwal’s Satyabhama, her Naachiyaar also seeks justice for the victim.
Saani Kaayidham
Keerthy Suresh has played the role of a fierce cop more than once. However, her performance in Saani Kaayidham remains a memorable one. Suresh put up a fine show as she portrayed a police constable in the 2022 action thriller. Helmed by Arun Matheswaran, the movie featured several social issues and injustices based on casteism.
In conclusion, over the years, the South Indian film industry has shelled out several movies featuring powerful women roles. The industry’s top actresses have led the films and proved their acting mettle.
