While the film attempts something offbeat but doesn’t quite succeed, it still manages to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

“CSK: Charles Shafiq Karthiga”: A low-budget thriller that unfolds in a single night in a shopping mall, the entire story of the movie rests on its female protagonist, and that’s not something you see often in Tamil filmdom. The movie, which marked the auteur’s comeback to the romance genre after a decade, was a refreshing take on contemporary romance and relationship. “O Kadhal Kanmani”: It doesn’t matter if you’re a Mani Ratnam fan or not, his “O Kadhal Kanmani” will leave you with an everlasting smile on your face. “Thani Oruvan”: A film that made its audience root for a villain! How many times does that happen in Indian cinema, given the kind of villains our films produce? In a comeback role, Arvind Swamy was terrific in this extremely stylish thriller that made us take notice of its underestimated director Mohan Raja. With an ‘adults only’ certificate, the makers had the licence to go all guns blazing, and I wish they didn’t restrict themselves.

“Trisha Illana Nayantara”: An A-rated sex comedy that may have not done full justice to the genre, but introduced us to a young filmmaker, Adhik Ravichandran, who isn’t afraid to go against the tide. It also brought back two highly talented actors - Vijay Sethupathi and Parthepan - to glorious form. “Naanum Rowdydhaan”: A story about a wannabe rowdy and a woman he wants to help avenge the death of her father, this is the most entertaining Tamil film of the year. Revolving around events that take place in a school in a single day, this extremely well-written docu-drama encompasses multiple themes ranging from motherhood to religion and humanity. “Kuttram Kadithal“: This was perhaps this year’s dark horse. While the film may have turned out to be a dud at the ticket windows, Haasan proved once again why he’s one of the best writers we have in the country. “Uttama Villain”: Kamal Haasan’s semi-autobiographical take on stardom and mortality could easily be the most underrated, star-studded film of the year. An extremely well written, edge-of-the-seat thriller, this is a small film with all the potential that big films lack. Made exclusively for the kind of audience that appreciates original content and doesn’t like to be spoon-fed, it’s hard to believe it’s the work of a newcomer. Amid’s “Rajathandiram”, hands down, is the best heist film to have come from Tamil cinema.
It’s also a film you can watch with your children without a doubt, and be assured that they will enjoy it. It’s a movie for adults and relates to children oblivious to the growing social divide, capitalism and elitism. Manikandan’s debut feature “Kaaka Muttai” is not a children’s film.

CHENNAI– Of the over 200 Tamil films released this year, there were a few that may not have necessarily created an impact at the box office but they appealed to a mixed audience with their unique storylines, talent and formats.
