Smash Hits of Ilayathalapathy Vijay
POOVE UNAKKAGA
250 DAYS

This was one of Vijay’s best films. Vijay’s career took a U-turn after the mega success of Poove Unakkaga which was a silver jubilee hit. This film, directed by the then popular director Vikraman with music by his lucky mascot SA Rajkumar, provided a big fillip to Vijay’s career which though was filled with hits, didn’t have that hit to make him a Superstar. Vijay played the mediator between two families who had a clash of religions. The children of the two neighborhood families fell in love and elope. Vijay comes and acts as the son of the eloped family, and tries to join the grandchildren of the two families who also fall in love with each other.

LOVE TODAY
175 DAYS

This was one of the earlier films for ‘ilayathalapathy’ Vijay. Considered a big hit due to the film’s songs and vijay’s performance, Vijay is the son of Raguvaran who is a doctor. Both father and son behave as the best of friends. Vijay falls in love with Suvalakshmi who is the daughter of a rough ‘n tough inspector (rajan p dev). Suvalakshmi’s dad comes to know of their love and vents his hatred towards Vijay. How they succeed in love forms the climax of the film.

KADALUKU MARIYADHAI
210 DAYS

This film is the one which catapulted Vijay to superstardom. This film celebrated its silver jubilee run in many centers and can be called a cult film which inspired a lot of youngsters with its storyline and treatment. The idea of the lovers giving up on their love for the sake of their families found a great wide appeal among tamil movie fans. This movie was directed by Fazil with music by Isaignani Ilayaraja

THULLATHA MANAMUM THULLUM
175 DAYS

Another film is the list of Vijay’s blockbusters. This film strengthened his on screen chemistry with his lucky mascot, simran who then went on to become his most successful on screen pair. This movie was directed by Ezhil with music by SARajkumar.

KUSHI
175 DAYS

This film acted as another turning point for Vijay, who had a lean patch with films like nenjinile and minsara kanna. this film, directed by the director SJ Suryah was one of the biggest blockbusters of Vijay’s career. Also vijay was paired with Jyothika with whom he shared a great chemistry right throughout the whole film. This movie celebrated a silver jubilee run and ran for 200 days.

FRIENDS
175 DAYS

This film had a multi star cast featuring Vijay, Suriya, Ramesh kanna, Vadivelu, Deivayani, etc. This film was again a mega blockbuster for vijay making it 4 hits in a row for the actor. Ajith was originally slated to play the role of Suriya, but it was vijay’s college mate Suriya (suriya studied in the same college as vijay did) who played the role of Vijay’s best friend in this movie.

THIRUMALAI
150 DAYS

This film is another film which resurrects Vijay’s career after a series of flops like Pudhiya geethai, Vaseegara, etc. This film, produced by Kavithalaya and directed by Ramana, showcased Vijay’s dialogue delivery skills to the best value. Here, he was again paired with Jyothika, his lucky heroine who gave one of the biggest blockbusters with him, Kushi. The music by Vidyasagar was one of the main highlights of the film.

GHILLI
209 DAYS

The biggest hit film of Vijay’s career. Coming after the welcome success of ‘Thirumalai’ which was again Vijay’s turning point after a series of flops. Ghilli was the best hit of his career, directed by Dharani of Dhill and Dhool fame, Ghilli had Vijay pairing up with Trisha with whom he went on to make a smash hit pairing.

THIRUPAACHI
200 DAYS

Another big blockbuster for Vijay in his long career. Directed by a newcomer Perarasu, Thirupachi went on to become a big blockbuster and reportedly broke the records of Vijay’s previous big hit Ghilli. Trisha pairs up with Vijay in this film. Also with others in this film are Mallika (autograph fame), Benjamin, Vinod (Actor Vikram’s father), etc

SIVAKAASI
150 DAYS

This film was also directed by Perarasu who directed Vijay’s previous blockbuster Thirupaachi. Though this film was not as big a hit as Thirupaachi, this film went on to become a super hit film further enhancing Vijay’s Box office power. This is the movie which collected 2 crores in a week after release in Madurai only. It purely shows the power of Ilayathalapathy.

POKKIRI
200+ DAYS

This film created a huge sensation for Vijay at the box office. After the not so successful Aathi, Vijay did not have a release at all for the rest of 2006 as he intently listened to a lot of scripts and wanted to make sure that his next film becomes a huge success. Teaming up with director-choreographer Prabudeva for the first time, this film which was a remake of the blockbuster Telugu hit by the same name, created records at the box office. Vijay was paired with Asin for the second time after Sivakaasi, with Manisharma scoring the music. The film was declared a mega blockbuster, and created new records in neighboring state Kerala for the first time for a Tamil film.
