Favourite mom characters of Tamil cinema

Tamil movies always have an emotional quotient attached to it. Not only to get positive responses from the family audience, but also these basic emotions are added to the storyline so that the overall film may have an emotional impact among the viewers. Any story's main purpose is to infuse emotions among the audience and conveying those emotions through a mom's love is something that the viewers could easily relate to.

Following is the list of actresses who played the role of mother whom we actually wish to be our mothers in real life.

2/6

Oorvasi

Oorvasi played the role of mother in quite a number of movies. To name a few, ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’, ‘Thamizh Ku En Ondrai Azhuthavum’, ‘Soorarai Pottru’, ‘Mookuthi Amman’. She is one of the funniest mothers of all. Her sense of humour and timing makes us laugh and adore her.
