Jeans (1998)
Following the debut movie, next, we have her second Tamil language movie Jeans which became the most expensive movie to be made in Indian cinema at the time. Playing the dual role once again, this film was once again praised by many critics of the time.
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999)
The Hindi language romantic film that won the actor her first Filmfare award and gave another boost to her popularity was none other than the highly acclaimed Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. A film whose magic still exists with Nandini whose Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan we cannot forgive.
Taal (1999)
Taal is the next movie on this list and we cannot deny the amazingly gorgeous looks the actor brings to this beautiful movie with expression and dance moves that are to die for. Becoming a part of the first Indian movie to reach the Top 20 of Variety’s box office list, this film was yet another of the actor’s hits. And not so surprisingly, she lost the Filmfare for this movie against her very own hit Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000)
Making her third appearance in Tamil movies, with Kandukondain Kandukondain the actor showed us that she is a versatile talent who can play her roles like no other. Playing out the character of Meenakshi in this movie based on Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, you will be reminded why she is among the top talents in the industry.
Josh (2000)
Josh was another one of the actor’s splendid works that once again shows the versatility and beauty of the former Miss World as she brings out the emotions of her character Shirley to the best of her ability as she became the Malika of our dreams.

Dhoom 2 (2006)
The iconic character of Sunheri is one that we cannot forget, especially when the actor had to lose weight to fit into the character inspired by none other than Catwoman. And this character did become a hit which only made us Crazy for more.

Lastly on this list is the mesmerising and powerful character played by the versatile actor- Nandini. While Ponniyin Selvan 1 has already been taking over headlines since the news of its coming was released, the beautiful looks of the revengeful character that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan brought took things to a whole new level and we cannot look away from the wonderful Nandini.
