It was a masterclass in restraint. It reminded Vikram of her role in the Kannada classic Geetha , where she effortlessly portrayed complex emotional arcs, or her turn in the Malayalam hit Olangal , where her silence spoke volumes.

Then, a single tear fell, not for the camera, but sideways, missing her cheek and landing on her collarbone.
