This was quite an eventful year for Tamil cinema and here are ten films that stood out from the rest.

180: 180 gives you a lot to chew on. I wouldn't call it an original movie but it is a refreshingly original take on terminal illness. Just give the movie a fair shot, look for character motivations instead of expecting to be spoonfed, and you'll know that director Jayendra has observed such a case at close quarters. Unfair criticism received is on account of it being misunderstood.
