It wasn’t long enough when gory and audacious gangster-turned-hero movies made a beeline at the cinema halls in Tamil Nadu.
When movies of this genre – for instance Thoothukudi and Kokki – with less than a shoestring budget made waves at the box office, fans decided that they have had enough of their share of carnage onscreen.

As a result, the trend saw a sudden transformation when movies with refreshing storylines hit the screens soon after.
Paruthiveeran, Mozhi, Naan Avanillai and the latest release Karupasamy Kuthagaithaarar are to name a few.
However, as it seems, gangsters haven’t completely abandoned Tamil cinema. Only that they are spruced up with the latest gadgets and gizmos this time around. In the pipeline are Billa 2007, Bheema, Kaalai and Pollathavan that are necessarily of this genre. Well, what goes around comes around, said someone fittingly.
