5.Taapsee Pannu

In Badla, Taapsee Pannu plays Naina Sethi, a successful businesswoman entangled in a murder mystery. What starts as a victim narrative turns into a cunning and cold portrayal of deception. Taapsee’s layered performance won audience praise for breaking away from traditional villain tropes and presenting a female lead who isn’t afraid to be unapologetically dark.
