Poove Unakaga [1996]
After a series of 7-8 straight flops, this was the very 1st breakthrough for Vijay. An evergreen love story with beautiful songs and a performance in which Vijay shined in the eyes of the audience!

Kushi [2000]
First 25 CR grosser for Vijay. Directed by SJ Suryah, this movie created a sensation for the freshness of Vijay's and Jyothika's performance and chemistry. Probably one of the cutest looks of Vintage VJ

Thirumalai [2003]
Vijay acted in several love stories and decided it was time to transition into an action hero. The film that made this happen for him is Thirumalai. Different dimension of Vijay was seen and appreciated by audience!

Ghilli [2004]
First 50 CR grosser for Vijay. Though it was a remake of Mahesh Babu's Okkadu, Vijay had given proper justice to the original movie and continued to show his range as an action hero!

Pokkiri [2007]
First 75 CR grosser for Vijay. A remake of Mahesh Babu's IH in that time Pokiri. However, Vijay had made this movie his own by giving his own flavor to the treatment through his mass dialogue delivery, voice modulation, and carefree style!

Kavalan [2010]
After Pokkiri, Vijay faced one of the darkest phases you will see in Tamil Cinema with 4-5 flops (ATM, Kuruvi, Villu, Sura) Audience began criticizing VJ's over acting. Kavalan was the film that brought VJ back to sea level in this situation

Thuppakki [2012]

Kaththi [2014]
Movies like Thalaivaa, Jilla right behind and a colossal flop Puli right after, this film was important. AR Murugadoss sir executes another brilliant commercial film which shows different dimension of VJ's acting in flashback portions!

Theri [2016]
1st 150 CR grosser for Vijay. An action packed commercial film with a simple story yet good execution from Atlee. Probably the fittest getup for VJ in recent times. Theri showed VJ's OS growth is on the rise. $1M in North America itself

Mersal [2017]
1st 250 CR grosser for Vijay. #1 North America grosser in VJ's career [$1.92M] Mersal was the ultimate of the ultimate for VJ's market. High production values, VJ in dual roles, and loaded with entertainment for audience by Atlee!

Sarkar [2018]
Second 250 CR grosser for Vijay. Continued what Mersal embarked on. Vijay's most stylish film till date. The political drama was the 3rd BB combo of VJ-Murugadoss sir. This made Sarkar as Vijay's most hyped film. Unimaginable 32 CR Day 1 TN record..

Bigil [2019]
1st 300 CR grosser for VJ. Consistently giving this BO by also growing with each film is what has him on the top. Atlee's commercial making paired with aged character driven performance that showed the audience another dimension of VJ's acting!
