Athadu

Can't miss adding Athadu to the list first as Trisha was a pure treat to watch in the film. It's been more than 15 years since the film was released but still is fresh to  Telugu audiences. From family emotions, romance, drama, and action to music, everything about Athadu made it a cult classic. Her performance as Poori opposite Mahesh Babu is one of her best careers and shouldn't be missed at any cost.

Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa

How can we miss adding Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa to the list? Trisha is what she is because of the film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, which played a huge role in her career. Trisha as Jessi in this Gautham Menon’s super hit film will always be one of her best films. Her chemistry with Silambarasan TR and characterization will be placed on the shelves of the most loved movie characters of Tamil cinema. Truly one of the best romantic films. And the music of Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, still can't get over it.

Kodi

Trisha knows how to ace every role that's placed on the table for her. Be it as a college girl, rural woman, romantic actress, politician, princess, or anything of that matter. The actress totally impressed the netizens with one such role and that is as a politician in the Tamil film Kodi. She played a political leader who kills her boyfriend Kodi, played by actor Dhanush for her personal gain. Trisha’s role as a political criminal was highly appreciated. 

Directed by R. S. Durai Senthilkumar, Kodi became a superhit. The Telugu version Dharmayogi also received positive reviews and became a commercial success.
