Rashmika, Samantha or Janhvi Kapoor: Who aced the village look best?

Janhvi Kapoor's enchanting first look in Jr. NTR's upcoming movie, "Devara," has set the town abuzz with excitement. Dressed in a traditional half saree, she graced the screen with a green blouse, a blue dupatta, and a lehenga. Her attire was accentuated by simple yet elegant accessories, including a black thread neck chain, hoop earrings, plain bangles, and a charming nose ring. To complete the look, she sported a cute bindi and an unassuming hairstyle, posing gracefully with her hands on her waist.

This captivating appearance has sparked discussions among keen-eyed viewers, who couldn't help but draw parallels with the iconic village belle avatars of Samantha Ruth Prabhu as Ramalakshmi in "Rangasthalam" and Rashmika as Srivalli in "Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1." The common thread lies in the simplicity of the half saree, accentuated by the bindi and nose ring, portraying the quintessential village girl aesthetic.

However, the distinctive essence arises from the diverse treatment of characters by the directors. Samantha and Rashmika embraced full glam looks in Sukumar's films, while Koratala Siva's heroines gravitate towards subtlety, emphasizing acting over glamour. With Janhvi Kapoor stepping into the role of Thangam in "Devara," audiences are eager to witness director Koratala Siva's unique storytelling.

Expectations run high as fans eagerly await the unraveling of character dynamics and wonder how Thangam will carve her own space in this narrative of beauty, simplicity, and Koratala Siva's directorial finesse. The highly anticipated film is scheduled for release on April 5, 2024.
