Top Movies - 2016 in Tamil / English / Hindi / Malayalam / Telugu

My favorite movie in Tamil is Aandavan Kattalai. And, in Telugu it's Pelli Choopulu, a fantastic feel good movie. And, obviously Dangal in Hindi, whatte terrific performances from everyone and also an engaging script. And, Kammattipadam in Malayalam, this slow and terrific movie starring Dulquer.

A lot movies involving kids Guppy, Ann Maria Kalippulannu, KPAC, School Bus in Malayalam this year and in Tamil I have seen only one, Appa.

And, a special mention to the one and only Marathi film I have ever seen, Sairat, brilliant music and realistic actors with an emotionally shocking climax. And, U-Turn in Kannada, well made thriller from the director after Lucia. The other critically acclaimed Thithi didn't impress me much.

Best Movies: I liked the most
1. Aandavan Kattalai : Once again Manikandan proves he's an excellent filmaker with this terrific movie which really says a good message in a funny way and without being preachy. Yogi Babu was terrific.
2. Visaranai: This brutal movie based on a true story was a spine chilling experience. Dinesh literally gave his blood and sweat, Vetri's brilliantly adapted a novel which seamlessly transforms into a thriller in the second half.
3. Irudhi Suttru: A fantastic debut for Ritika and an excellent comeback for Madhavan in this sports drama which follows the familiar formula of underdog rising big like any other sports drama, but with a fantastic screenplay.
4. 24: So happy to see a big star like Surya to try something new apart from his Hari films. A fantastic time travel thriller with an excellent screenplay.
5. Joker: Rajumurugan's second movie where he doesn't hold back and questions everyone in the society including us, which also has a nice love story.
6. Oru Naal Koothu: A small film which worked big time, all the characters were easily relatable and with some excellent music as well.

7. Dhuruvangal 16: What an excellent debut from Karthick Naren in this gripping investigative thriller which maintains the suspense till the end and would have liked to watch this without an interval. And, technically brilliant too.

8. Sethupathi: A terrific "mass" entertainer which is just another cop story, but with a different treatment. An excellent villain helped the movie big time.
9. Thozha: So much fun right from the start till the end, which makes you look life positively. A movie without too much melodrama.
10. Iraivi: Another excellent movie from Karthik Subburaj, some woMEN's story, so basically it's how each man affect the woman is the story which had some excellent performances from S. J. Surya and Vijay Sethupathi as usual.
11. Kuttrame Thandanai: Manikandan's second film in the list. Vidharth was excellent as a guy with a tunnel vision, which was brilliantly used which ends with a good twist.
12. Kodi: After a forgettable Thodari, Dhanush bounces back with this political thriller which has a strong female antagonist, which was rare in Tamil cinema, but sadly we don't have many options to play the role.
