Our heartfelt wishes to him to scale many more heights in the tinsel town and pray to the Almighty that he would keep the Tamil audience entertained for ever. A small trip down the memory lane: |
Suriya- 25 | ||
1. Nerukku Ner It was director Vasanth who spotted the gem called Suriya and focused the spotlight on him. Although it was a twin hero subject, it was enjoyable all the same. Suriya was not in his comfort zone and his awkwardness especially with his foot was perceivable. 2. Kadhale Nimmathi Although the story line was good, Suriya did not have much to display as he was shrouded under many veterans in the film. A newbie Kavitha was his on screen partner. 3. Sandhippoma This film directed by Indrakumar drew more flak than support for Suriya’s fledgling career then. He was featured with Preetha Vijayakumar and the film was an absolute bomb. 4. Periyanna Directed by S A Chandrashekher, Suriya was cast opposite Vijayakanth. The film received lukewarm response at the box office. 5. Poovellam Kettupar Once again a Vasanth venture which brought together Jyothika and Suriya for the first time. The film was about two popular music directors, their ego trips and the attempts of their children in uniting them. An enjoyable clean family film and Suriya had certainly improved. 6. Uyirile kalandhu Directed by K R Jaya, this film had Suriya and Jyothika coming togetheragain with sibling rivalry as the theme with Raghuvaran playing Suriya’s elder brother. UK also had Sivakumar as Suriya’s dad. The songs and Jyothika’s performance were talked about.
After the success of Nandha came Shree where he was paired with Shruthika, granddaughter of Thengai Srinivasan. Shree again portrayed Suriya as the angry young man which did not go too well with the audience. 11. Mounam Pesiyadhe By this time, Suriya’s looks were getting repetitive with colored lenses but this Ameer’s venture was a hit with Suriya playing Gautham, a strong adversary to love. Trisha played a pivotal role. 12. Kaakha Kaakha The magic was slowly beginning to be woven with Gautham Menon at the helm of affairs.Anbu Chelvan remains a significant name in Suriya’s career graph and the crackling chemistry between him and Jyothika should be seen to be believed. Harris Jayaraj played a pivotal role in the success of this film. Suriya won ITFA Best Actor award. 13. Pithamagan Director Bala made a casting coup of sorts when he signed Vikram and Suriya in this intense film which talked about friendship of an unusual kind. The cheerful, banter of Suriya was something different from the roles that he had earlier essayed and was a perfect foil to Vikram’s complex demeanor. He won Film Fare’s Best Supporting Actor award. 14. Perazhagan By this time, Suriya was ready to try out different get ups and scripts and Perazhagan provided the perfect fodder to his acting histrionics. He was not concerned about his looks and had sported a hump on his back, a protruding teeth and a supreme self-esteem. Directed by Sasi Shankar, Perazhagan was Suriya’s first double role flick as Karthik and Chinna and also featured Jyothika again as his heroine. This time around the coveted Film Fare Best Actor Award went to him. 15. Ayutha Ezhuthu Suriya’s first assignment with Mani Ratnam where he played the role of student leader Michael Vasanth to perfection. Although the film was not commercially successful, it won good reviews for Suriya’s performance 16. Mayavi This Singam Puli directed venture had showcased Suriya in a new avatar as the conman with a gift of the gab and a devil-may care attitude. His body language and looks were perfect not to forget the pencil line moustache and the loop of hair in the forehead who Jyothika loved to hate. A light hearted entertainer. 17. Ghajini Director A R Murugadoss was instrumental in taking Suriya to the next higher level with Ghajini. The chiseled body, the tonsured head with many details tattooed on his body, Suriya wowed his audience. The suave Sanjay Ramaswamy is still the dream boy of many a women. Asin was at her best. This film gave Suriya an action hero image and he won a special award for best actor from Tamil Nadu government. 18. Aaru Close on the success of Ghajini, Suriya joined Hari in Aaru which proved that Suriya can satisfy the class and mass as well. A must in the repertoire of an actor, this film was a mass commercial entertainer where he played Aarumugam the local baddie mouthing harsh dialogues. Trisha was his love interest. 19. Sillunu Oru Kaadhal By this time, the chemistry and romance between him and Jyothika were much too evident which helped the film a lot. Directed by newcomer Krishna, ARR’s music lent a powerful hand to SOK. Suriya continues to charm his audience. 20. Vel Suriya joins Hari again in this double role flick as Vetrivel and Vasudevan. A hardcore commercial potboiler but scored well for its taut and crispy narration. Vel had good doses of family sentiments and action neatly packaged. Asin as a radio jockey also had a meaty role. 21. Kuselan In this P Vasu directed flick where superstar played the lead, Suriya played himself in a small cameo.
24. Aadhavan Suriya teamed up with K S Ravikumar, the man who knows the pulse of the industry too well and this combination did not disappoint the audience at all.Although Vadivelu’s comedy tilted the balance in favor of the film, Aadhavan established Suriya’s acumen in choosing his films in the right manner. 25. Singam (SILVER JUBLIE MOVIE) Suriya’s third venture with Hari, this Singam is expected to roar with a different cop story.the initial reviews suggest that Hari has not deviated from his path and has provided non-stop 2.5 hours of entertainment. |
