1. If you were captivated by the amnesia-fueled intensity of “Ghajini” (கஜினி) (2005), Then you NEED to watch “Memento” (2000).
Ghajini, an excellent and notable work in Tamil Cinema with an edge-of-the-seat story coupled with a near-believable performance by Surya, had us all on the edge of our seats. But did you know that Christopher Nolan in Memento deals with short-term memory loss in a mind-blowing nonlinear story? In case you liked the psychological thriller side of the film Ghajini, which relooked thrillers in Tamil Cinema, Memento will blow your mind. Your brain will thank you, and/or not, trust us.
2. If You Like “Maharaja” (மகாராஜா) (2024), Then “Iratta” (2023) is your next obsession.
The recent release of Maharaja, a powerful addition to Tamil Cinema, has been a huge hit, and if you loved the twists and turns of that film, you must watch the Malayalam thriller “Iratta”. The double role performance, and the layered mystery is a must watch for any thriller fan. Both these movies have a strong emotional core and a focus on character driven thrill.
3. If You Like “Abhiyum Naanum” (அபியும் நானும்) (2008), Then You Should Watch This “Father of the Bride” (1991).
Abhiyum Naanum is a movie depicting the touchy relationship between a daughter and her father in a beautiful way. In case you were moved by their emotional experience, then Steve Martin in the movie, Father of the Bride, will speak to you. Perfectly combining the sweet falling into disarray that a father must be to prepare his daughter to get married, this classic comedy does not lag behind in the heart-warming moments. Almost ideal to cuddle away to a movie, much like most family-type movies.
4. Feeling nostalgic for the magical body swap in “New” (2004), Then “BIG” (1988) is your ticket to pure fun.
New is one of those weird and wild movies which gave an amusing spin to the body exchange formula found in Tamil Films. Did you like that? You have to see BIG by Tom Hanks. The story of this classic film is about a young boy who transmutates into an adult by wishful magical means that cause comical and touching scenarios. Prepare yourself to be served a frenzy of 80s kitsch like the breezy stuff usually to be found in Tamil Cinema.
5. “Manmadan Ambu” (2010), a romantic comedy from Tamil Cinema, had you laughing? “Romance on the High Seas” (1948) will have you singing!
Manmadan Ambu is a classic example of romantic comedy that features picturesque locations and the mastery of Tamil Cinema. In case you liked the light comedic tone, delve into the old-school musical Romance on the High Seas. This lovely movie is full of catchy melodies and funny dialogues, and a sweet love story. An ideal feel-good film, just like the enjoyable romantic-comedy that the Tamil Cinema creates.
