The Films, Briefly Explained
1. Anjaan (SunNXT) A physically challenged man searches for his missing brother in Mumbai, only to uncover a web of betrayal and revenge tied to his own twin. Suriya plays a double role — and both versions deliver.
2. Vel (YouTube) Identical twins separated at birth — one grows up rough in Dindigul, the other becomes a suave detective in Chennai. When their lives collide, they must swap identities to fight a common enemy. Classic Hari masala at its entertaining best.
3. Aadhavan (YouTube) A hitman is hired to eliminate a judge, infiltrates his household as a servant, and gradually uncovers shocking truths about his own identity. Loosely inspired by the Mohanlal classic His Highness Abdullah, it blends action with comedy effortlessly.
4. 7 Aum Arivu (SunNXT) A genetics student discovers that a circus performer is the descendant of the legendary monk Bodhidharma — and recruits him to stop a Chinese mercenary plotting a biological attack on India. A wild sci-fi premise executed with genuine ambition.
5. Singam (SunNXT) Duraisingam is an honest village cop who believes in justice — delivered firmly, if necessary. When he locks horns with a Chennai crime lord named Mayilvaganam, the result is one of Tamil cinema’s most beloved cop films, spawning a full franchise.
6. NGK (Amazon Prime Video) NGK — Nandha Gopala Kumaran — is an idealistic organic farmer who enters politics to serve society, only to get entangled in the brutal games of power. Selvaraghavan brings his dark, raw storytelling style to this one, making it unlike any conventional Suriya film.
7. Retro (Netflix) Paari is an orphan desperate to leave his violent past behind and reunite with the love of his life, Rukmini. Director Karthik Subbaraj crafts a gripping romantic action drama with emotional depth that lingers well after the credits roll.
8. Kaakha Kaakha (YouTube) Anbuselvan is a dedicated cop leading a specialized unit in Chennai. When a ruthless criminal named Pandya targets him and his loved ones, the film escalates into a brutal, emotionally charged fight for survival. Gautham Menon at his atmospheric finest — and the one that truly made Suriya a superstar.
9. Ghajini (SunNXT) Sanjay Ramasamy — a wealthy businessman with short-term memory loss — is hunting down the men responsible for his fiancée’s murder, using tattoos and Polaroids to remember what his mind cannot. AR Murugadoss delivers a relentless thriller that remains one of Tamil cinema’s all-time greats.
