Actress Charmi's box office hits
After a number of flops starting with her debut film Nee Thodu Kaavali (2002) followed mainly by flop films like Kadal Azhavatillai, Kattuchembakam, Aahaa Ethanai Azhagu, Kadhal Kisu Kisu, Sri Anjaneyam and Chanti, Actress Charmi finally got a big break turning out box office hits with the Telugu movie Gowri (2004), in which she did the role of Sweta, paired with Sumanth. She never had to look back afterwards after Gowri. It was followed by the stupendous success of Mass (2004, she appeared as Priya) with Nagarjuna. The film “Mass” strengthened her position as a top heroine in Tollywood.
Charmi's most distinguished and critically acclaimed film so far is Anukokunda Oka Roju (2005, she played the role of Sahasra). It was a heroine-oriented thriller and she played the lead role in it. Her performance in the movie was acclaimed by critics and loved by the audience.
Though her 2006 film, Pournami was a total failure, her spectacular performance was appreciated by all. Though she never learned Indian classical dances, her Bharata Natyam and Kuchipudi dances in the film were appreciated by audiences.
Charmi's film Chinnodu (2006) was a moderate success at the box-office. Her next film, Rakhi (2006 with Junior NTR), was a hit and Charmi's role was much appreciated by critics and her fans. Another film, Mantra (2007), a thriller with Charmi in the lead role, ran with houseful shows. Her performance in the movie was appreciated by wide range of audience as well as critics and film industry leaders.
Charmi, the heroine of flop movies
Indian movie actress Charmy Kaur - also known as Charmi or Charmi Kaur - acted in her debut film, Nee Thodu Kaavali, a Telugu movie released in March 2002, in which she acted as a house wife Manasa. Though the film was a big flop, it helped Charmi get noticed by the south Indian film industry. Her next film was in Tamil, "Kadal Azhavatillai" (2002) with Silambarasan which also flopped. In 2002 itself, she acted in a Malayalam film "Kattuchembakam" directed by the noted Malayalam film director Vinayan. This film also bombed at the box office. That makes three straight flops for the Punjabi girl Charmi Kaur in her debut year itself in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam film industries.
In 2003 too success eluded the sexy beautiful actress as her Tamil films Aahaa Ethanai Azhagu (2003) and Kadhal Kisu Kisu (2003) also bombed at the box office. Her re-entry into Telugu movies with Sri Anjaneyam (2004) in which she enacted the role of Padmavathi alias Padhu, was directed by ace director Krishna Vamsi. This too failed miserably. It was followed by another flop Telugu film Chanti (2004) paired against Ravi Teja.
Charmi, though acted in films of all the major South Indian languages like Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada (she acted in Kannada film Lavakusha in 2007), is considered a Tollywood actress as she had the maximum number of Telugu films compared to her other language films. She acted with stars such as Simbu, Venkatesh, Akkineni Nagarjuna, Prabhas, Siddarth, Ravi Teja, Sumanth, Nitin and Junior NTR.
