===Acting===
[[File:Mamtha Mohandas In 2012.jpg|thumb|left|Mamtha in the sets of ''[[Jawan of Vellimala]]'' in 2012]]
Mamta debuted in the 2005 [[Cinema of Kerala|Malayalam film]] ''[[Mayookham]]'', directed by [[Hariharan (director)|Hariharan]]. Although the film did not do well at the box office, she attracted attention for her sensitive portrayal of Indira.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kerals.com/news/fulldetail.php?t=824 |title=Kerala News – Mayookham |publisher=Kerals.com |date=20 November 2005 |access-date=2 March 2012}}</ref>

Subsequently, she acted alongside [[Mammootty]] in ''[[Bus Conductor (2005 film)|Bus Conductor]]'', with [[Suresh Gopi]] in the films ''Adbutham'' (2006) and ''[[Lanka (2006 film)|Lanka]]'' (2006), and alongside [[Jayaram]] in ''[[Madhuchandralekha]]'' (2006). She also played the female lead in ''[[Baba Kalyani (film)|Baba Kalyani]]'' with [[Mohanlal]]. Later that year, she débuted in the [[Tamil cinema|Tamil film industry]], starring in the [[Karu Pazhaniappan]] directed film ''[[Sivappathigaram]]'' opposite [[Vishal (actor)|Vishal]], which turned out to be an average grosser.

In 2007 she acted with Mammootty in the film ''[[Big B (film)|Big B]]''. She eventually stepped into the [[Cinema of Andhra Pradesh|Telugu film industry]] as well, when she appeared in a supporting role in the film ''[[Yamadonga]]'', directed by [[SS Rajamouli]]. The film became one of the biggest hits of the year. She had lent her voice for a couple of songs in this film too. In 2008, she appeared in 7 films, predominantly in Telugu-language films. Her first release was her début [[Cinema of Karnataka|Kannada film]] ''[[Gooli (film)|Gooli]]''. She then starred in the film ''[[Krishnarjuna]]'', playing the lead female role, which did not do well at the box office. ''[[Victory (2008 film)|Victory]]'' was her next assignment as lead actress, but that film also failed at the box office, following which she appeared in a [[cameo role]] in her only Tamil release that year, ''[[Kuselan]]'', alongside Tamil superstar [[Rajinikanth]]. Three more Telugu releases featured Mamta, including ''[[Homam (film)|Homam]]'', directed by [[JD Chakravarthy]] and [[Srinu Vaitla]]'s ''[[King (2008 film)|King]]'' opposite [[Nagarjuna]]. In both these films she also performed as a playback singer in several songs.

In 2009, she starred in the comedy film ''[[Guru En Aalu]]'' alongside [[R. Madhavan|Madhavan]], and the thriller ''[[Passenger (2009 film)|Passenger]]'', sharing screen space with [[Dileep (actor)|Dileep]] and [[Sreenivasan]], respectively. While the former had an average run at the box office, the latter was declared a surprise [[sleeper hit]] in Malayalam. The film ''Passenger'', in which she played the role of a television reporter, became a turning point in Mamta's career. She was initially approached to play the lead role in the 2009 Telugu dark fantasy ''Arundathi''. She refused the offer, and the movie went on to become one of the highest grossers that year. In 2010, she worked with [[Jayaram]] in the critically acclaimed ''[[Kadha Thudarunnu]]''<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.hindu.com/2011/05/23/stories/2011052363130700.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110528064024/http://www.hindu.com/2011/05/23/stories/2011052363130700.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=28 May 2011 |location=Chennai, India |work=[[The Hindu]] |title=Artistes' welfare priority: Ganesh |date=23 May 2011}}</ref> directed by [[Sathyan Anthikkad]], for which she won her first [[Filmfare Award for Best Actress - Malayalam|Best Actress Award from Filmfare]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/vedam-wins-big-at-filmfare-awards-2011/20110704.htm |title=Vedam wins big at Filmfare Awards (South) 2011 |work=Rediff.com |date=4 July 2011 |access-date=1 December 2016}}</ref> This film also won her the [[Kerala State Film Award for Second Best Actress]], the Vanitha award for best actress – Malayalam, the Mathrubhumi award for best actress – Malayalam and the Asianet award for the best actress- Malayalam.
