Poove Unakkaga was Vijay's first blockbuster that catapulted him into state-wide fame. The movie is a love story with Vijay as Raja teaching two families the true meaning of love, sacrifice and forgiveness.
3. Kadhaluku Mariyadhai
Long before Vijay was sending five villains flying with one kick, he was a romantic hero straight out of a Mills & Boons novel. And, Kadhaluku Mariyadhai is a fairytale-like love story that proves just this. Watch it for the simple yet sweet story and Vijay and Shalini's terrific chemistry.
4. Kaththi
Kaththi is one of Vijay's most celebrated films in which he features in a double role. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss thriller, Vijay plays an escaped prisoner Kathiresan as well as an upright civilian named Jeeva.
