My first memory of watching Kamal Haasan was in the film Chachi 420. I was blown away by his performance, and Tabu was equally impressive. His transformation into Chachi was completely convincing.?Avvai Shanmughi's Bollywood remake, Chachi 420 released in 1997.

And no one can forget Bharti applauding throughout a Karva Chauth lunch while Chachi performs a half-version of "Macarena"?

Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan is a dedicated actor known for attempting something new in each of his films, and he has numerous times experimented with various new cinematographic techniques, layouts, elements, and storylines.

Vikram, starring our legendary Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil, has recently made a lot of headlines. The latest blockbuster, Vikram of Tamil megastar Kamal Haasan, has established a strong box office record in Tamil Nadu. On June 3, 2022, the film was released in cinemas. In its third week, Vikram has outperformed the profitability of Baahubali: The Conclusion in Tamil Nadu.

If you're a Kamal Haasan fan, you should watch these top ten movies before watching Vikram.

1. Nayakan

Nayakan

The plot revolves around a man named Velu Nayakan, who witnesses an unfortunate event in which his father is brutally murdered. He then seeks vengeance and murders a corrupt police officer before fleeing Bombay to become a gangster.

Nayakan was well-received by critics. The film is broadly considered to be the best Tamil film ever made. Haasan won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Nayakan. Not only that, but the film also received a National Award for Best Cinematography.

2. Mahanadhi

Mahanadhi

The plot revolves around an upright man named Krishnaswamy. He is duped into a chit-fund scheme, for which he faces jail time. His family is falling to pieces as he faces indescribable trials in prison.

This film is based on a unique idea that has some resemblance to reality. Haasan got the idea for Mahanadhi after discovering his household strategies to kidnap his daughters for a ransom.?

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Kamal Haasan confirmed that the Mahanadi story was inspired by his household helpers, who conspired to kidnap his daughter for ransom. It was pure luck that he discovered their plan before they could carry it out. He felt that there was rage and a desire to kill them all for jeopardising his daughter's safety.On the job, he was putting off writing a new script. Later, when he sat down to write, the script may have written itself aided by fear, wariness, and anxiety.

5. Thevar Magan

Thevar Magan

The plot revolves around a young man named Saktivelu, who returns to India from London.?He aspires to open his restaurant chain in Chennai. However, his father wishes for him to remain to assist the villager.

Bharathan directing the film and the superhit duo Kamal Sivaji sharing screen space. Along with Nasser as the villain, Revathi and Gautami as the heroines, and all the supporting cast have all performed admirably. There are no words to describe how incredible the film Thevar Magan is.

Sadly, the film is not available online, but you can rent a DVD.

6. Sadma

Film Companion

Sadma, starring Sridevi and Kamal Haasan, is a must-see film. In a brothel, Somu, played by Haasan, meets Nehalata, played by Sridevi. That's when he realises she has amnesia, which causes her to deteriorate to a childlike state. He wishes to safeguard her by taking her to his home in Ooty.

The film is an adaptation of Balu Mahendra's own Tamil film Moondram Pirai from 1982. This film also features one of my all-time favourite songs "Ae Zindagi Gale Laga Le" by Suresh Wadkar.
