The world of Tamil cinema was greatly affected by the first wave of Corono in 2020. That will continue into 2021. The situation where theaters have to close completely for four to five months. The situation of having to run theaters with 50 per cent seats for two months. The year 2021 was a testing time for the films that came out beyond them, the support and reception of the fans. Despite all these trials, some of the films were a box office success. Some of the pictures got the name of quality pictures. Some of the films were moderately well received. We have selected only a few such films in these top films.

Release Date – 4 November 2021
After the success of ‘Viswasam’, director Siva got a big opportunity to direct a film with Rajinikanth. But much of the criticism was that he was not using it properly. Surprisingly, the film charged beyond that. Many were of the opinion that Siva could have given a better film than this and Rajinikanth could have acted in a better story than this. Iman got his first chance to compose music for a film starring Rajinikanth. The songs, which were somewhat admired when the film was released, later lost reception due to the film’s result. The film is said to be the second highest grossing film of the year.

The film is directed by Nelson Dileepkumar after ‘Kolamavu Kokila’. When the theaters reopened after the second wave of the Corono, theatergoers largely believed that the film would bring fans to the theaters. This film did exactly that. The film marked a new turning point for Sivakarthikeyan commercially. The film would have given a boost to Siva, who has been plagued by a series of failed films. Anirudh’s song ‘Sellamma’ became a super hit.

He used it very well. The film is based on a true story set in the ’90s and caused controversy after its release. A film that showed Dhanush in another dimension. The collection of this film would have been even higher had it not been for the second wave impact of Corono. Santosh Narayanan’s songs with Manvasana impressed the fans a lot.

Movement – Venkat Prabhu
Music – Yuvan Shankar Raja
Cast – Silambarasan, SJ Surya, Kalyani
Release Date – 25 November 2021
Director Venkat Prabhu, who worked for the huge success after ‘Mankatha’, has once again proved his mettle. The director should be commended for not seeing the usual naughty Simbu in this film. Based on a time loop, the film was a huge hit with fans. If Simbu’s acting is a side, then the villain SJ Surya also impressed the fans with his performance. The background music of Yuvanshankar Raja made a separate mark in the films that came out this year. Tamil cinema fans are expecting such different films.
6. Sultan
Production – Dream Warrior Pictures
Direction – Bhagyaraj Kannan
Music by Vivek Mervin
Cast – Karthi, Rashmika Mandana, Yogi Babu
Time – 2 hours 37 minutes
Bakiyaraj Kannan is the director who was amazed by the movie ‘Remo’. This is his second film. Though a bit like a Telugu film, it was an entertainment for the fans. Karthi’s action performance caught the attention of the fans. All the stunt actors in Tamil cinema were given the opportunity to say that there has never been a film with so many slaves in Tamil cinema. ‘Jai Sultan’ in Daman Music made it to the top 10. Yuvan’s background music added strength to the film.

Cast – Arya, Rashikanna, Sundar C.
Release Date – 14 October 2021

Following the success of ‘Palace 1, Palace 2’, Sundar C directed ‘Palace 3’. There is no big difference between this and the previous two episodes as there are some characters in the same palace, the same ghost, house. The film did, however, charge fans of P&C as it caught on. He is the one who has to say the reason why Arya acted in this film. With this, critics are hoping that director Sundar C will not stop the ‘Palace’ series.
Top Pictures on ODD

Movement – T.S. Gnanavell

The most controversial film to hit the ODT site. The film is based on a true story set in the 90’s. Director TS Gnanavell gave the film one of the best films of the year. The film was well received across the board due to its release in 5 languages on ODD. It is doubtful whether it would have been so well received even if it had been released in theaters. Surya’s performance and Lijomol Jose’s performance were praised by fans and critics alike. Shawn Roldan’s background music was a great addition to the film.
2. The lineage of Charbatta
Production – K9 Studios, Neelam Productions
Movement – Pa. Ranjith
Music by Santosh Narayanan
Cast – Arya, Pashupati, Kalaiyarasan, Tushara Vijayan
Release Date – 22 July 2021
We need to have the experience that took us back to that period when we took pictures of events that took place in earlier periods. If so, that would be the main reason for the film’s reception. Director Pa. Ranjith took us to the 1970s by filming the incident. The film was acclaimed as a quality film with many nuances taking place in the film. Arya’s acting is amazing. The effort he put in for this film was evident on the labor screen. Pashupati, who played the lead role in the film, was singled out by other critics as the other actors and actresses. Santosh Narayanan’s music did not fail to make a separate mark in the film.
3. Mandela
Production – Y Not Studios, Wishbury Films, Reliance Entertainment
Direction – Madonna Ashwin
Music – Bharath Shankar
Acting – Yogi Babu, Sheela Rajkumar
Release Date – 4 April 2021
There has been criticism over the past few years that comedians aspire to become protagonists. In a film where some comedians are reluctant to act like that, Yogi Babu should be praised for his brave performance in a role. Debut director Madonna Ashwin was surprised to be given a mocking political picture. It is these different films that take Tamil cinema to another level. The film stressed that cinema is not about actors and actresses, it is about characters and story. Composer Bharath Shankar, who worked on the film, should be commended by all the other technical artists, actors and actresses.
By 2021, about 140 films will be released in theaters and up to 40 on ODT sites. Despite the large number of films, only ten or fifteen films, as usual, received critical acclaim and gross. This situation has persisted for the past several years. When that number increases, then the growth of Tamil cinema will increase. It is the imperative of the times for the film industry to understand and act on this.
