Saravanan Sivakumar (born July 23, 1975), better known as Suriya, is an Indian actor, producer, and television host most recognized for his work in Tamil film, where he is one of the highest-paid performers. Suriya has been on the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list six times, based on the revenues of Indian celebrities. Suriya is the eldest child of Tamil cinema star Sivakumar, and his younger brother Karthi also works in the industry. In 2006, he married co-star Jyothika.
He established the Agaram Foundation in 2008 to finance different humanitarian endeavors. On July 23, 1975, Suriya Saravanan was born in Madras (now Chennai), Tamil Nadu, to Tamil cinema star Sivakumar and his wife, Lakshmi. Suriya worked at a garment exports factory for eight months before his film career. To prevent nepotism, he did not disclose himself to his boss as Sivakumar’s son; nevertheless, his boss eventually discovered the truth for himself.
Suriya worked his way up from the bottom of Kollywood to become the most well-respected and prolific actor. He produces enchantment every time he appears on-screen. There are a few standouts that deserve to be on the list when it comes to his films, but that’s not how it works.
So, here are the Best Suriya Movies, as chosen and handpicked by us-
1)Kaakha Kaakha
Kaakha Kaakha was a trendsetter in every way at the time, resulting in an upsurge in the number of cop-based films in the Tamil cinema industry. It also aided Suriya and director Gautham Vasudev Menon in establishing a great career in Kollywood. Kaakha Kaakha is a romantic cop drama about the lives of an honest officer, Anbuselvan IPS, and what happens when he meets paths with a known criminal. Suriya’s powerful performance, Jyothika’s captivating acting, Gautham Menon’s outstanding storytelling abilities, and Harris Jayaraj’s music elevated Kaakha Kaakha to one of the finest movies of Surya’s career, as well as one of the best cop dramas in Tamil cinema.
2)Singam
The first picture in the Suriya-Hari police trilogy is unquestionably one of the greatest commercial films Suriya has ever done in his long career. With a straightforward story about a vibrant small-town detective pursuing a ruthless mobster, Hari creates a fascinating figure in Duraisingam, whom we can root for and care about from start to finish. Singam succeeds as an enjoyable picture for all ages by seamlessly blending commercial aspects to create a decent tale. This is a must-see.
3)Ayan
Ayan, directed by K.V. Anand, succeeds largely due to its brilliantly crafted script and the velocity with which the plot moves throughout. The love aspect between the primary actors and the other plot beats reinforces the major core of the picture while also providing entertainment value. Ayan remains a fascinating film, no matter how many times you’ve watched it over the years, thanks to Harris Jayaraj’s infectious soundtrack and good performances from the whole cast.

4)Ghajini
Ghajini, directed by A. R. Murugadoss and starring Suriya and Asin, was a blockbuster that was heavily disputed for being influenced or copied from Christopher Nolan’s Memento. Despite the claims, Ghajini was fine-tuned to appeal to Tamil audiences, and a stunning performance from the lead making it one of Surya’s best films. Even the songs that were chartbusters at the time are still enjoyable to listen to now.
5)Soorarai Pottru
Soorarai Pottru, directed by Sudha Kongra and starring Suriya and Aparna Balamurali, is based on G. R. Gopinath, a retired captain of the Indian Air Force and the founder of Air Deccan. Sudha Kongara offers the film of 2020, which rises tall and remains an extraordinary movie in Surya’s career, supported by a high-quality technical crew, superb performances from the whole ensemble, and to-the-point scripting.
6)Vaaranam Aayiram
Vaaranam Aayiram, directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, deserves all of the affection, honors, and recognition it has garnered throughout the years for all of the right reasons. This picture excels in every area, portraying a basic coming-of-age narrative and a beautiful bond between a father and a son. It is a trendsetter that affects us with a wide range of emotions from start to finish. From Harris Jayaraj’s euphonious music to GVM’s superb narration and Suriya’s amazing performance, Vaaranam Aayiram is still adored and celebrated among audiences 12 years after its theatrical premiere.
7)Aaytha Ezhuthu
Mani Ratnam’s 2004 Tamil-language political thriller film Aaytha Ezhuthu (transl. Three Dots) was written and directed. It is loosely based on the life of George Reddy, a scholar from Hyderabad’s Osmania University. The film’s title was inspired by the name of a Tamil letter – three dots representing the film’s three separate personalities from entirely different social strata. A. R. Rahman created the film’s score and soundtrack, while Ravi K. Chandran shot the film, and Sreekar Prasad edited it. The film was shot in Hindi as Yuva, with a completely new cast and Telugu as a dubbed version.
8)Aadhavan
Aadhavan is a 2009 Indian Tamil-language action comedy film directed and written by K. S. Ravikumar. The film was released on October 17, 2009, to mixed reviews, although it was a box office success. It is also a good action-commercial family entertainment. In 2011, it was dubbed Dildaar – The Arya in Hindi and Ghatikudu in Telugu. The film was largely inspired by the Malayalam film His Highness Abdullah, which was released in 1990. Harris Jayaraj created the music.
