Vijay Tamil Movies List ((full)) 〈Linux〉
Master (2021), Beast (2022), Varisu (2023), Leo (2023), The GOAT (2024)
Vijay’s recent filmography is defined by blockbuster budgets, social commentary, and deliberate positioning as a future political leader. Mersal (2017)—with its critique of GST and medical malpractice—became a phenomenon. Sarkar (2018) directly attacked electoral malpractice, leading to legal controversies. Master (2021), his post-pandemic comeback, blended juvenile home reform with stylish action. Beast (2022) was a mall-set action comedy, while Varisu (2023) returned to family melodrama. However, Leo (2023) and The GOAT (Greatest of All Time, 2024) represent his current phase: high-concept, pan-Indian collaborations with top directors (Lokesh Kanagaraj, Venkat Prabhu) that explicitly insert political messaging about corruption, education, and caste oppression. His upcoming Thalapathy 69 (rumored to be his last film before entering politics) signals the culmination of this journey—where cinema becomes a direct vehicle for political ascension. vijay tamil movies list
The late 1990s marked Vijay’s transition to stardom. Kadhalukku Mariyadhai (1997) and Ninaithen Vandhai (1998) offered softer, romantic narratives that appealed to family audiences. But the seismic shift came with Thulladha Manamum Thullum (1999), a commercial success that earned Vijay the title “Ilayathalapathy” (Young Commander). Other significant entries: Priyamaanavale (2000), Friends (2001), Shahjahan (2001), and Youth (2002). Yet the most transformative film of this period was Ghilli (2004)—though technically in the next phase, its predecessor Thamizhan (2002) showed Vijay attempting social messaging. During these years, his dance numbers (especially with then-frequent collaborator, actress Jyothika) became cultural phenomena. Master (2021), Beast (2022), Varisu (2023), Leo (2023),
After Sura ’s mixed reception, Vijay recalibrated. Kaavalan (2011), a remake of Bodyguard , showed restraint and warmth, earning critical praise. Velayudham (2011) and Nanban (2012)—the official Tamil remake of 3 Idiots —displayed his comedic and emotional range. Thuppakki (2012), directed by AR Murugadoss, was a watershed moment: a slick, intelligent action thriller about an army officer dismantling a sleeper cell. It redefined Vijay’s on-screen persona as a thinking mass hero. Follow-ups Jilla (2014), Kaththi (2014), Puli (2015), and Theri (2016) saw him balancing family sentiment with sharp political critiques, especially in Kaththi (corporate exploitation of farmers) and Theri (police corruption). Bairavaa (2017) closed this phase, which established him as a pan-Indian star via strong streaming and dubbed releases. His upcoming Thalapathy 69 (rumored to be his
