Nazriya Nazim (born on December 20, 1994) is an Indian actress and producer known for her performances primarily in the Malayalam and Tamil film industries. Nazriya began her career as a child artist and swiftly transitioned into one of the most popular actresses in South Indian cinema. She made her debut as a child artist in the Malayalam film "Palunku" (2006), directed by Blessy. In addition to acting in films, Nazriya also became a popular television anchor, hosting a music reality show on Asianet called "Munch Star Singer." Her charming screen presence and natural talent as a host further increased her popularity. Nazriya's career breakthrough came with her role in the Malayalam film "Maad Dad" (2013), but it was her performance in the romantic drama "Neram" (2013), directed by Alphonse Puthren, that garnered significant attention. Following "Neram," Nazriya starred in a string of successful films including "Raja Rani" (2013), "Ohm Shanthi Oshaana" (2014), and "Bangalore Days" (2014). Her role as Pooja Mathew in "Ohm Shanthi Oshaana" won her the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actress, solidifying her status as a leading actress. "Bangalore Days," directed by Anjali Menon, further established her as a versatile performer and became one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of all time. In 2014, Nazriya made her debut in the Tamil film industry with "Vaayai Moodi Pesavum," which was well-received. She continued to balance her career between Malayalam and Tamil cinema, taking on diverse roles that highlighted her acting range. After a brief hiatus from acting following her marriage to actor Fahadh Faasil in 2014, Nazriya made a successful comeback with the film "Koode" (2018), directed by Anjali Menon. Her performance was widely praised, and she continued to act in films like "Trance" (2020) and "Maniyarayile Ashokan" (2020), Ante Sundaraniki (2022) and Sookshmadarshini (2024). Nazriya's contributions to cinema have earned her several accolades, including multiple Asianet Film Awards, Filmfare Awards South, and a Kerala State Film Award.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
