Film Companion names Badhan as one of the coolest heroines of 2023

Azmeri Haque Badhan made a captivating debut in Bollywood with Vishal Bhardwaj's "Khufiya". Despite her limited screen time, her impeccable acting prowess and powerful expressions forged a compelling on-screen chemistry with the renowned Bollywood actress Tabu. 

Film Companion recently unveiled a list featuring Bollywood heroines who have left a lasting impact with their performances this year. Notably, our Bangladeshi actress Badhan has earned a place on the list.

Film Companion described Badhan's character, Heena Rehman, as "intensely enigmatic and alluring, capturing your attention irresistibly." The accolades poured in for the Bangladeshi star, who, with her indomitable personality, effortlessly stole the spotlight from Tabu.

"In the scene where Krishna (Tabu) visits Heena at home, the sexual tension is palpably incandescent. Badhan seamlessly weaves sensuality, intelligence, and the desperation of one cornered by circumstances into her portrayal of Heena. Her gaze seems to penetrate through people, and every gesture, despite its casual grace, exudes calculated deliberation. Despite the character's limited development on paper, Badhan infuses Heena with complexity, intentional magnetism, and the intricate nuances of a double agent," added Film Companion.
