Top 10 Tamil Movies of 2013

Here goes the list of my top 10 Tamil films of 2013 [from among what I have seen] - Not necessarily in any order

Haridas

Tells the story of a 10-year old mother less autistic boy and his bonding with father and a school teacher

Thanga Meengal

Director Ram's 2nd film after hard hitting 'Katrathu Tamil. Shows the intense and beautiful relationship between father & daughter, the father's role being played beautifully by the director himself.

 Pandiya Nadu

A hard hitting commercial, yet realistic revenge drama. Vishal's career best acting. Superb 2nd half.

Vidiyum Munn

An emotional thriller set on events happening in 1/2 days. 

Varuthapedatha Valibhar Sangham

The best comedy mass entertainer of the year. Entertaining script, rocking performances, good songs.

 Vishwaroopam

Kamal Hassan's magnum opus, his take on Terrorism, shot on large canvas, the hugely hyped film met expectations 

 Soodhu Kaavum

The most different yet entertaining film of the year about a kidnapping that goes wrong. Vijay Sethubathy did it again

 Maryaan

Great acting, music, superb direction makes this one of the best of 2013.

Onnayum Aatinkuttiyum

Myskin back in form, did a great job in acting department too. A dark tale happening in city in one night

Moodar Koodam

Story of a kidnapping that goes right, a small gem of an entertainer.

Raja Rani

A Good Rom-Com in Tamil after a long gap. The acting, music, frames it worth watching

These are the Tamil movies I liked the most this year, may not necessarily be 'the best of 2013'

Yet to watch Madha Yanai Kootam & Thalaimuraigal
