- Ponniyin Selvan: 1
The Mani Ratnam-directed film is set in the 10th century. It opens with prince Aditya Karikalan asking his friend Vandiyathevan to deliver a message to his sister Kundavai after sensing something wasn’t right. The people are greatly distressed as war is fought to seize their throne and the land. Ponniyin Selvan: 1 premiered in theaters on September 30, 2022, and on Amazon Prime Video on November 4, 2022. The makers are speculated to launch the second part of the film this year.
- Vikram
Lokesh Kanagaraj directed the film Vikram starring Kamal Haasan and Vijay Sethupathi. It revolves around the life of an alcoholic man, Karnan, who is murdered by a group of unidentified men. After his murder, these gangsters kill many people. His case is given to the black squad commando, who is determined to figure out why Karnan got killed even though they have no affiliation with government organizations. The movie is available to stream on the ZEE5 app, where you can stream the latest web series, ILT20 cricket live and much more.

Veera Raghavan, a spy by trade who happens to be at the same mall, devises a scheme to deceive the terrorists and free the hostages.

- Taanakkaran
Taanakkaran has the potential to be one of the best ‘focused’ dramas of 2022. An impressive debut from a director who is confident in both his story and his method. It also helps that Tamizh, a former police officer, provides us with an insider’s view of the system. Since his debut in Kumki, this is unquestionably the best film Vikram Prabhu has been a part of. He’s too good here, too. Taanakkaran is a film that you wish was released in theaters. However, you can still watch it on Disney+Hotstar.
- Iravin Nizhal
The movie is about a man on the run who realizes his mistakes after looking back on his life. A plot like this could develop in numerous ways, but you can count on Parthiban to make it a labor of love. It turned out to be a challenge that Parthiban successfully overcame; as a result, he was able to make this a single-shot film with a non-linear plot. Iravin Nizhal is worth looking into just for the craziness of his creation and his unbridled passion for the medium. Watch it on Amazon Prime.
6. Natchathiram Nagargiradhu
This is among Pa Ranjith’s finest and purest Tamil films to date. Not only in terms of what it represents, but in the way it is presented. Natchathiram Nagargiradhu is a risky experiment that disturbs our collective conscience and consciousness. It may be due to the visual scope or the way Ranjith uses Tenma’s music. Either you adore it, or you detest it. There is no acceptable middle ground.
