The internet polls are were ppl vote,and ppl vote not just for their favs, you can see that, Priyamani got the second highest votes, and she's not somebody with a grt lot of fans, is she? Such polls are were you get to know who the ppl love and favour, and that clearly shows in the Rajnikant poll you mentioned.
You haven't considered Jyothika as an actress? Meaning we musn't consider her as an actress too?I thought this was a free country.Isn't it up to the individuals whom they should like?And you put Shriya on your list, so I can imagine your taste in movies and actresses.🤢Cinema lover, we love the movies, and we care for the 'best ' and not the 'top'.There's a difference b/w running abt in movies just giggling and laughing and exposing AND doing different movies an coming up with grt performances and thus remain in the hearts of the audience.

in tamil industry to be a top actress certain ,the following shoiuld happen.
Jo has acted with-Ajith, Vijay, Vikram, Surya, Simbhu, Arjun, Prasanth, Rajni, Kaml, SarathKumar, to the latest Prithviraj.Tht makes it more than 5, right?The only top directer she hasn't worked with is Shankar, but Shankar himself called Jyothika 'the next Revathy' .Vaali, Khushi, Dum dum dum. The first movie, itself was a hit and to bag a Filmfare award in the first movie itslef, is something, This is funy! I wonder how when a movie is dropped due to financial problems , the blame can be put on the actress?And one among your top actress Asin's first movies were all dropped or cancelled.Initially many in the Tamil industry considered her to be a jinx as the initial movies she signed in Tamil were either canceled, delayed or faced financial problems.I didn't see anybody blaming Shriya when ATM flopped, if your theory of 'everybody will blame the actress when the movie flopped' is right.Of course, Jyothika was promoted by directors and producers! It will take more than your statistics to show that directors and producers didn't promote Jyothika. Her name used to say it all , just like Asin's and Shriya's does now.
there are many actresses were brought of by the industry to replace jothika, like anitha of samurai fame aand recently a actreess called nargis in 2007 movie called ninaithale,released around the same time as mozhi.
And were they able to repalce Jo? No. Shows she's still wanted and loved, right? .
Here's how Behindwoods described her, in the results of the 'Most missed mums' poll
Jyothika Sadanah now Saravanan or Jo to her family and friends is another diva who came from the North and took the entire southern industry by storm. She is the younger sister of yesteryear actress Nagma. She made her debut in a Hindi film, Doli Sajaa Ke Rakhna, where she was paired opposite Akshay Khanna. Unfortunately the film flopped. In Tamil she was first seen in a small guest role in Vaali opposite Ajith. Her first full-fledged role as a heroine was opposite hubby Surya in Poovellam Kettupar. Her cute, bubbly innocence became her USP, and from there on she never had to look back. She has been one of the few privileged actresses who has worked with all the top heroes of her time, including Superstar Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. It is noteworthy that the role of "Chandramukhi" was initially offered to Simran (who was unable to do the film), but one that Jyothika went on to make her own. She has worked under all the prestigious banners and directors, never having to compromise in any way or succumb to any kind of pressure to show skin or appear vulgar through the span of her career. This gifted, hard-working and dedicated actress relied only on immense faith and confidence in herself to reach stardom. Her recent films such as Chandramukhi, Mozhi and Pachaikili Muthucharam, won her several accolades, proving she was capable of rendering heavy-duty performances when the script demanded it. Her fans were very upset when she decided to bid farewell to films after her marriage to Surya. She is now a proud mom of a baby girl who is the apple of her eye. Like Simran she might make a comeback - such talent cannot be buried.

Your are first one who has said she wasn't on the top; all websites, film magazines all say she remains in to-simply because of her acting skills. You haven't considered her as an actress; can you pls describe your idea of an actress?
You said even if she does a hundred Mozhis, she won't be able to attract as much audience as the 'bombs' do, right? Ppl didn't run to watch Sivaji for Shriya; it was the superstar they were eager to watch. And Shriya's earlier movies were all flops, and even after Shivaji, ATM flopped; so where are the audience whom you said care more about the three letter bad word than acting? If thts the case the 'A' graded movies shud all be HUGE HITS, right?Thts an understatement, without any base-that ppl care more abt the 3 letter word and all that;you think family audience just don't watch movies at all?
There are still directors who have scripts ready just for Jo. Director revathy Varma asked Jo to act in her movie even when she was 7 months pregnant(which she politely refused). She got huge bollywood offers in her time,from producers like Boney Kapoor, for the remake of Khushi, which she had refused too. She was the highest paid actress at a time. I didn't know that an actress who was not on top could've achieve all this!
Cinema lover, all the same, I sincerely appreciate your knowledge on Tamil cinema.👏And thankyou for spicing up the forum. There's nothing more liek defending your fav actress, that too when baseless arguments are put up against her😊
