Career
[edit]Veena Nandakumar made her movie debut through 2017 Malayalam film Kadamkatha directed by Senthil Raj. But she didn't get much attention as the film was a box office failure.[1] She debuted in Tamil language films through Thodraa, in which she played Divya, a girl from a rich family who fell in love and eloped with a low-caste man. Anupama Subramanian of Deccan Chronicle rated her performanceas "decent".[2]
She got her breakthrough role in 2019 Malayalam-language romantic drama film Kettyolaanu Ente Malakha where she played Rincy, "a very restrained" character according to Veena.[3] Anna Mathews of Times of India wrote that the character was "played with just the right amount of restraint" by her.[4]
In 2020, she played supporting roles as Annie in Family Drama film Kozhipporu[5] and Haritha in black comedy psychological thriller film Love.[6] Reviewing Kozhipporu for Times of India, Deepa Soman wrote that she "performed well within the limited scope of the tale".[7]
