Vijay Sethupathi in 96; Dhanush in Vada Chennai: Ten best performances from Tamil cinema in 2018
Firstpost2018 has been a roller-coaster year for Tamil cinema with content-driven films headlined by newcomers and popular stars striking gold at the box-office. The year, which was marred by a historical 50-day-long strike due to a standoff between Tamil film producers and digital service provider Qube, has produced a string of stellar performances from debutants as well as established actors like Vijay Sethupathi, Dhanush, Trisha, and Keerthy Suresh to name a few. Kathir - Pariyerum Perumal Actor Kathir, who showed great promise with an assured performance in 2015’s critically acclaimed drama Kirumi, turned in the best performance of 2018 through Pariyerum Perumal, helmed by debutant Mari Selvaraj. Antony - Merku Thodarchi Malai Antony, who appeared in a blink-and-you-miss role in Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, put on a breakthrough debut lead performance in director Lenin Bharathi’s true-to-life story Merku Thodarchi Malai. From pining with unrequited love in 96 to playing the role of a septuagenarian stage-play artist with great panache in Seethakaathi, Vijay Sethupathi proved once again that no other contemporary actor in Tamil cinema collaborates on diversified genres of films in quick succession.
