1. Vishwaroopam

A Flurry of controversies, sympathy wave + a expensive mega hyped project made the film took an outstanding opening [even though a delayed release in Tamil Nadu]. The film had a very good run throughout the country. People from TN flocked to theaters in Kerala t watch the film due to the ban in the home state.

Another film that banked entirely upon Santhanam, but the antics of Power Star were also liked by the audience ensuring it a very good run.

 After Pizza & Naduvile Koncham.... another Vijay Sethubathy magic. Unique theme nice presentation, good comedy & terrific WOM helped the film.

6. Kutti Puli

Panned by every single critic out there the movie showed who the reall boss is, the paisa payin audien, rather than those who watch it for free without knowing audience pulse. The mass audience received the film well making it a hit. It has tremendous run in B,C class dominated areas.

Good Marketing helped the film a great deal. An average product earned money for the producers.

8. Neram

A movie which was non-existant for public till 'pistah' song was released online. The hype that song created plus good marketing helped the film get a good run. The Malayalam version in fact is much bigger hit than the Tamil version

Above Average

9. Udhayam NH4

One of the best thrillers to come from Kollywood in years. Fast paced narration and intelligent scripting found fans among city based audience.

10. Chennaiyil Oru Naal

Remake of Malayalam hit 'Traffic' the film was a moderate success.

Above Average 

Biggest Dud - Alex Pandian 

Poor opening, panned by critics, disastrous theater run, even the powerful distributor couldn't save the movie from leaving theaters after first week


Most of the biggies of the year, Singam 2, Thalaivaa, Thala 53, Kochadiyaan, Pizza 2 etc,  are yet to come, so excepting a lot of changes in the final year ender list. Also expecting lot of surprise hits
