The 2015 Tamil film O Kadhal Kanmani, directed by Mani Ratnam, is considered one of the best romantic films. Nithya Menen and Dulquer Salmaan's lovely chemistry plus A R Rahman's music are the two major highlights of OK Kanmani.

Based on the wanted criminal Sukumara Kurup, the 2021 crime thriller Kurup earned more than Rs 100 crore becoming one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of all time. Dulquer was hugely appreciated for his brilliant performance.

The period romantic drama Sita Ramam pairs Dulquer Salmaan with Mrunal Thakur and their chemistry has been widely loved in this Telugu film released in 2022. Already been called a romantic classic, it is still running in theatres.
