2014
was
not
so
good
for
the
Malayalam
movie
industry;
as
the
movies
which
met
the
expectations
of
audience
were
very
less
in
number.
But
the
industry
has
been
lucky
enough
in
the
case
of
the
performances
by
the
talented
actors.

year.
And
it
is
time
to

who
the
best
actress
of
the
year
is.
The
factor
which
makes
the
year
2014,
a
special
year
for
Malayalam
cinema
is,
the
comeback
of
the
ever
favorite
actress

Warrier.
The

directed
movie

of
14

and

The

ended
up
as
huge
critical

commercial
failures;
while
rest
two
emerged
as

huge
box
