Must Watch Vijay Movies


Vijay, probably the second most famous hero in Tamil Nadu after Rajni is definetly a great hero to watch. Likely to take the position of Rajni once he leave the Industry. I like Vijay movies for action, fantasy and dance. According to me the best dancer-cum-hero in Tamil Industry. I liked most of the Vijay movies during a period in which Vijay acted Kaadhalukku Mariyaathai, Thulladha Mannum Thullum but then slowly he started taking audience for granted or he selected only masala movies. But now offlate I think he is coming back with some good set of movies like Thupakki.

Below are the Top 10 Vijay movies according to me who is neither a core Vijay fan or Vijay basher.

1. Thupakki

Year      : 2012
Direction : A.R. Murugadoss
Actors    : Kajal Agarwal, Sathyan, Vidyut Jamwal


One of the best action movies ever released in Tamil cinema




2. Kaadhalukku Mariyaadhai


Year      :1997
Direction : Fazil
Actors    : Shalini (Debut)
Music     : Illayaraja (Special mention :) )

Created a wave in 1997 with the songs and kind of love story.EVen today the songs are heard by music lovers


Year     : 2000
Direction: SJ Surya
Actor    : Jyothika

Simple love story showing ego between them. Superb Screenplay. I could say "Kushi" started a trend in Tamil cinema of using double meaning dialogues deliberately in movies.


4. Thulladha Manamum Thullum



Year      : 1999
Direction : Ezhil
Actors    : Simran



The best emotional climax in Vijay movies till date. Slow moving love story and good songs.



5. Gilli

Year      : 2004
Direction: Dharani
Actor     : Thrisha, Prakash Raj



Fast paced action movie remade in Tamil from Telugu movie Okkudu. " Appadi Podu" song created a sensation not only in Tamil Nadu but also throughout India. Even today every DJ party in India gives 3 min for this song.






Year       : 2007
Direction : Prabhu Deva
Actor      : Asin

I would recommend Pokiri for any movie lover across the globe. Originally from Telugu, this movie deserves a remake in Tamil and Vijay was right in grasping the opportunity as usual.

7. Poove Unakaaga



Year     : 1996
Direction : Vikraman
Actor     : Sangeetha, Anju Aravind




Tamil cinema which was not ready to recognize Vijay even after 14 movies as hero, turned towards Vijay from this movie. Came 18 years back but still fresh


Year      : 1998
Direction : Vincent Selva
Actors    : Kausalya

Brave attempt by Vijay to do a negative role. When I recollect this movie , I think why Vijay dont have the guts to take risk nowadays when he had that much during late 90's


9. Kaavalan


Year      : 2011
Direction : Siddique
Actor     : Asin




Based on Bodyguard from Malayalam. I feel Vijay did a better job than the original hero. Also, Kaavalan gave Vijay a much needed Hit when 4-5 of his movies didnt do well at box office.




10.Nanban

Year       : 2012
Direction : Shankar
Acor        : Srikanth and Jeeva





Based on "3 Idiots" one of the best movies ever made in Indian cinema history, Nanban with a Tamil flavour is good to watch. But if you know Hindi, better watch " 3 idiots "
