While Cannes 2026 showcases modern fashion, Bollywood enthusiasts recall an era of elaborate, handcrafted costumes. Iconic looks like Madhubala's Anarkali in 'Mughal-e-Azam' and Madhuri Dixit's 10kg lehenga in 'Devdas' exemplify this golden age of cinematic artistry. These ensembles, rich with embroidery and embellishments, became characters themselves, leaving a lasting legacy.

Actress Easwari Rao needs no introduction. She is in the south cinema for more than 20 years in the cinema industry. The talented actress's participation in Rajinikanth's 'Kaala' made her popular. Usually, actresses won't get a comeback in cinema, but Easwari Rao got lucky with bagging a comeback film. Now, 'Kaala' actress Easwari Rao thanks Superstar Rajinikanth and Pa Ranjith for the biggest opportunity.

She had made her Mollywood debut in 1992
