After the release of Ullam Ketkumae, Asin was cited as a leading heroine after signing films with prominent actors of the Tamil industry in Gajini, Majaa, Shivakasi and Varalaru respectively. The film which provided the breakthrough for Asin was Gajini. The film, co-starring Surya and Nayanthara and directed by A. R Murugadoss, earned her the Tamil Film Fare Award for Best Actress. Her role was that of a vivacious young model named Kalpana. Sifi.com praised her portrayal as "magical", descriving her character as a "lovable chatterbox", played with "sheer ability in the romantic interludes, the poignant and heartfelt scenes when she rescues minor girls from villains and her gory end are touching".
The following Diwali in 2005, Asin had two releases, Sivakasi and Majaa. Despite the latter becoming an average grosser, the former went on to be a successful venture at the box office, despite Asin's poorly etched out role.
The following year, her long-delayed venture, and Varalaru opposite Ajith Kumar, became the biggest blockbuster of 2006 in Tamil cinema. The film's hero-centric plot retreated Asin to the sidelines, but her role was well acclaimed by critics. Asin appeared in Pawan Kalyan's Annavaram, another successful venture in which she had a poorly-etched out role.
In January 2007, Asin appeared opposite Ajith Kumar and Vijay in two different films, Aalwar and Pokiri, with the latter becoming a success, whilst Aalwar became a failure. Whilst Asin's role in Aalwar was criticized, her performance in Pokkiri was lauded by critics. Her final project of the year was opposite in Hari’s Vel, which had a Diwali 2007 release, subsequently becoming her third successful film which released during the Diwali season in three years. Asin, who portrayed a TV anchor, was appreciated for her role in the film.
