We always chat about the 'mass' entries for heroes, but what about the leading ladies? A truly great entry for an actress isn't just a pretty face - it sets her whole vibe and sticks with us forever.

For me, the top three are:

1. Anushka Shetty in Baahubali 2
2. Deepika Padukone in Om Shanti Om (that dreamy red-carpet wave)
3. Aishwarya Rai in Devdas (running with the diya)

What's your all-time favourite actress entry in Indian cinema? Drop your picks below!


Riya

Much, much better than just using women as eye-candy objects.

Sumit

The music, the eyes, the action and that lush hair..


Anand

I still remember that scene - the whole cinema went berserk, even people who don't usually watch Telugu movies. The background music is stuck in my head!

Shanta

It felt odd that she still needed archery lessons later on.
