Velaiyilla Pattathari (VIP) is one perfect masala entertainer that is loaded with a strong script, brilliant screenplay, impressive action, and stellar performance by Dhanush. The blockbuster success of the film led to a sequel VIP-2.
4. Aadukalam

Aadukalam was one of the best-reviewed, most-celebrated films of 2011. In the movie, Dhanush starred as Karuppu, a humble yet brave young guy who challenges the odds and emerges victorious. We can't say much, you should witness this saga. The film went on to win more than 25 awards, including National Awards.
