Director: Vikraman Vijayakanth, Kushboo, Livingston Review: A family drama celebrating middle-class values and brotherhood. Though formulaic, it worked big time for its emotional core and Vijayakanth’s sincere performance. Songs by S. A. Rajkumar were chartbusters. A time capsule of 2000’s family sentiment cinema.

Director: V. Z. Durai Vijay, Jyothika, Raghuvaran Review: A gripping psychological thriller that marked a departure from Vijay’s commercial image. He plays a troubled young man with obsessive love, and Raghuvaran’s role as a police officer adds depth.

Director: S. A. Chandrasekhar Vijay, Shalini Review: A revenge drama with a social message (anti-dowry). Vijay’s transformation from lover boy to angry young man felt forced, but Shalini was graceful. The film succeeded mainly due to its hit soundtrack and Vijay’s growing stardom.
