Rani Week! Aiyyaa, My Favorite Rani Performance!

Rani Week! Aiyyaa, My Favorite Rani Performance!

I’ve been thinking about it as we go through Rani Week, and I think this is my favorite performance from her. It’s not showy, and it’s not her usual Type A heroine, it’s something different but charming. And I don’t think any other actress could make it work.
