Some people age like fine wine and amongst those people is Tabassum Fatima Hashmi or simply like we know her as the Hyderabadi beauty Tabu. This beautiful woman has turned 50 today and she still can people with her talent, beauty and grace. She moulds into any character that is given to her, be it a family drama, a crime thriller or even a comedy. She has done it all, that too brilliantly.
In the span of her years in the film industry, Tabu has been a part of some of the most critically acclaimed projects and though they might have had the box office success of hundreds of crores, they surely outdid many with the sheer talent. She has been part of many such movies both nationally and internationally.
Give a look at some of most amazing pieces of work:
Andhadhun (Netflix)
This film itself needs no introduction. As much as Ayushmann Khurrana did a fabulous job with his character, so did Tabu. The movie would have been a completely different scene if we didn’t have Tabu leading it with Ayushmann. This has been called as one of the greatest movies and it most definitely is one.
Haider (Netflix)
Haider is the Indian Bollywood adaptation of Hamlet and even though the movie was not successful at the box office, it has been considered one of the finest pieces with respect to the acting and dialogues. Tabu plays the role of Hamlet’s Gertrude in the movie and does it rather efficiently and beautifully. This definitely is a must watch for everyone who enjoyed Hamlet and also maybe to watch Tabu and Shahid Kapoor.
Drishyam (Disney+ Hotstar)
The film was considered a hit in the box office. The movie is the Hindi remake of a Malayalam film of the same name. The movie is considered one of Tabu’s finest as she fights a crime that involves the disappearance of her son. Sharing the screen with her is Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran. This easily becomes one of the most favourite crime thriller movies
A Suitable Boy (Netflix)
One of the recent releases in Netflix that has taken everyone by storm is the release of A Suitable Boy. Tabu plays the role of a courtesan, whose charms make a young boy Maan (Ishaan Khattar) go crazy for her. She plays one of the most pivotal roles in the series based on the novel of the same name by Vikram Seth.
Fitoor (Netflix)
Based on the novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, the movie was a beautiful piece for everyone that admires cinema as a form of art. Even though it crashed at the box office, the movie has received praises for its cinematography, visuals, acting and the highest acclaim was received by Tabu herself for the magically beautiful portrayal of her character. This most definitely should be in everyone’s list if you love good visuals, art and any of the characters that acted in the movie.
There are so many more, her talent and beauty can’t be limited to just this 5 piece of work. Maqbool, Cheeni Kum, Chandini Bar, The Namesake and so many more deserve to be watched and loved by everyone.
