Top Tamil Movies 2010

As we approach the end of year 2010,  I decided to pick top tamil films of the year. This year possess very few meaningfull movies. The films listed below are not rated in any order but listed as per the date of release.


1. Thamizh Padam

Directed by C.S.Amudan(Debut)
Cast - Mirchi Shiva,Disha Pandey,Paravai Muniyamma
Produced by - Y Not Studios

First spoof in Tamil Cinema. Though the second half drags, this kinda film are new and should be welcomed for this stressful world.

2.Vinnaythandi Varuvaaya

Directed by Gautam Menon
Cast - Silambarasan(Simbu),Trisha,Ganesh,Samantha
Produced by Escape Artists Motion Pictures & R. S. Infotainment


Gautam made Simbu to act and discovered new guy in him. Simbu - Trisha chemistry just rocks in the film. Music by A.R.Rahman is just a bonus.


3. Angaadi Theru

Directed by Vasanthabalan
Cast - Mahesh, Anjali
Produced by Ayngaran International


Vasanthabalan once again proves that he can make peoples watch film with no stars. Story is hard hitting. Songs add to the sucess.


4.Singam

Directed by Hari
Cast - Surya,Anushka
Produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja & BIG Pictures


Its an out and out masala entertainer as usual from Hari. One cannot avoid these kinda film as well. Surya has given a power packed performance.
Dont forget the punch dialogue - "Pasikku Pongal saapuduravana mannichudalam, anaa rusikku payasam saapuduravana mannikkavemudiyaadu". What a dialogue.


5. Kalavani

Directed by A.Sargunam(Debut)
Cast - Vimal,Oviyaa(Debut)
Produced by Nazir(Actor Madhavan's manager)


A simple small budget film. A village oriented comedy film with well etched out performance.


6.Madarasapattinam

Directed by A.L.Vijay
Cast - Arya, Amy Jackson
Produced by Kalpathi S.Agoram


Nirav Shah cinematography & Art director Selva sets is  highlight of the film. The team recreated the olden day Chennai. Arya & Amy Jackson performance is noteworthy.


7.Boss engira Bhaskaran

Directed by M.Rajesh
Cast - Arya, Santhanam, Nayanthara
Produced by K. S. Sreenivasan


Why this film? All out comedy film. Hero of the film is Santhanam and Arya should be appreciated for his support. Nanbenda has become a brand word of today's youths.

8.Enthiran

Directed by Shankar
Cast - Superstar Rajnikanth, Aishwarya Rai
Produced by Sun Pictures


A grand film from Indians. Shankar should be appreciated for his try to make impossible possible. Superstar did a subdued role in this film. It is purely an out & out Shankar film. A.R.Rahman's Music adds grand to this Grand.


9.Mynaa

Directed by Prabu Solomon
Cast - Vidharth, Amala Paul,Thambi Ramaiyah
Produced by John Max


Another film on the lines of Paruthiveeran. But the location of the film, performance of the artist especially Thambi Ramaiah, BGMs by D.Imman, M.Sukumar's Cinematography made the film something special.


10.Nandalala

Directed by Myshkin
Cast - Myshkin(Debut), Aswathram(Debut), Snigda Akolkar, Ilayaraja's music
Produced by Ayngaran International


Last film in the list but not the least one. This film might be inspired/ripped from the japanese film Kikugiro, but that's not a matter when its good. I could not resist myself from adding Ilayaraja' music as cast. Without the music, the film might not have been the same which it is now. His music carries the film. Myskin's & Aswathram's performance is good. Ilayaraja has given a great background score for the film which is of world class. The awards are no  mean to him. He himself is an award to Tamilnadu & our country. 




Paiyaa, Naan Mahaan Alla & Mandhira Punnagai came to the race but could not it to the final.
These films are rated with my taste which may differ from others.
