Half Yearly rating: Top Tamil movies of 2015

As far as 2015 is concerned there were some spectacular films which were critically as well as commercially accepeted. We have selected the few  of the best tamil films of this year till july(The ratings are strictly personal):

6. OK Kanmani: Maniratnam, the king of romance, after a series of flops was back in his strong forte with OK Kanmani, a refreshing coming of age love story portraying the subject of living together relations among the youth.The maor highlight of the movie were the cracking chemistry between the leading pair, terrific music by ARR and mind blowing visuals by PC Sreeram.

5. Demonte Colony: Its always difficult to make a well crafted horror thriller keeping audience hooked up to the screen for 2 hours and scare them at the same time. But Ajay Ganamuthu  successfully keeps us glued to the seat and add shivers till the end in Demonte Colony with the help of a well written screenplay, scary camera shots, nerve chilling sounds and that too with 3 actors.

4. Indru Netru Nalai: Directed by debutant Ravikumar, Indru Netru Naalai perfectly told the concept of time travel in a hilarious manner through two friends who are trying to make money using the time machine.The best part of the film is that the time travel scenes and the machine are shown in a believable manner.Though it cannot be termed as a sci fi as the importance is given to the problems faced by the lead characters due to the time travel rather than scientific aspects of the travel.

3. Uthama Villain: This classy stuff is another masterpiece from Kamal hassan who went into new depths in screenplay writing which was ahead of its times.The story telling itself is unique as it involves 2 parallel stories, one is the present stroy of a superstar and next is a 8th century story told in the form of villupattu and songs.The major highlight of the movie are the brilliant script by Kamal himself which would be a study material for aspiring script writers and spell bounding performances of the entire cast which will be remembered for a long time. Uthama Villain will be definitely in the league of Kuruthipunal, Anbe Sivam and Hey ram and will be considered as a classic in the years to come.

2. Papanasam: In this remake of Drishyam, directed by Jeethu Joseph, Kamal gave his own style of performance to the role made immortal by the inimitable Mohanlal in the original.This was undoubtedly the closest remake to the original and perhaps one of the best remakes to be ever done in Tamil film industry.The film had everything to be a perfect blockbuster: water tight script with several hair rising moments, terrific performances and perfectly edited scenes which added another cap to the illustrious career of Kamal Hassan.

1. Kakka Muttai:  A film billiantly scripted and directed by Manikandan make us realize that a film that wins awards can be outrageously entertaining also. A story of two slum brothers whose struggle to buy a pizza was told so endearingly by the director that you don't feel bored even for a minute for the entire 2.5 hours and the natural  performances of the children would simply wins your heart.Undoubtedly the best tamil film of the year and perhaps the best film of the year among all the Indian films  released till date. A cinematic gem not to be missed by film lovers.
