Chennai, Sep 4 (IANS) Rajnikant's "Sivaji: The Boss" is still ruling the Tamil box office with no film in sight to topple it.

The top five Tamil films are:

1. "Sivaji" - Director: Shankar. The success of "Sivaji" has proved that Rajnikant is the real boss of the Tamil film industry. No question about that.

2. "Arya" - Director: Balashekaran. The box office performance of "Arya", a typical masala entertainer, shows that R. Madhavan, who has been tagged a class hero, can cater to the masses too.

3. "Ammuvagiya Naan" - Director: Padmamagan. It needs a lot of courage to make a film like this. Both the director and hero R. Parthiban have it. Parthiban had the guts to act in a film that revolves around a sex worker. A very sensitively made film.

4. "Veerappu" - Director: Badri. A remake of a Mohanlal hit, the film is a huge hit in the B and C centres. Now director Sundar C knows that he has an audience out there too.

5. "Kireedam" - Director: Vijay. "Kireedam" is also a remake of a successful Malayalam film starring Mohanlal, but only the A centres have liked the Tamil version unlike "Veerappu".
