Debut and early work (2010–2015)

In the early stages of her career, Aishwarya also worked as an anchor on the sets of the TV show Asathapovathu Yaaru. [20] In 2010, she was cast in her first film Avargalum Ivargalum (2011) although Neethana Avan (2010) released first. [21] [22] Her first big hit was the critically acclaimed Attakathi in 2012, where she was cast as Amudha, a simple village girl, by Pa. Ranjith in his debut as a director. In 2014, she was seen alongside Vijay Sethupathi in two films, Rummy , and Pannaiyarum Padminiyum , released within two weeks. While the first film was a village drama set in the 1980s, the latter was based on a short film of the same name, and revolved around an old man and his vintage car Premier Padmini. [23] [24] Critics praised her performances, especially in Rummy. [25] [26] Hindustan Times wrote that she was "extremely promising" [27] while film critic Baradwaj Rangan noted that she was "expressive", calling her "a tonic for nerves frayed by the alabaster automatons we usually get as heroines".

Her portrayal of a slum dweller and mother of two children was lauded unanimously by critics and is regarded as one of "100 Greatest Performances of the Decade" by Film Companion. Critic Baradwaj Rangan wrote, "it features stunning performances from everyone...especially Aishwarya Rajesh, who plays the kids' mother with a world-weariness that belies her years". [32] Other reviewers stated that she was "excellent", [33] played her role "with extraordinary ease" [34] and that she "leaves you awe-struck". [35] [36] That year, she also made her stage debut, playing Cinderella from the same-titled fairytale that was adapted as a "musical dance drama". [37] [38]
