The curtains have come down on the first half of 2016, and as is with every year, this one, too, has seen its share of success and failure at the box-office. While some films performed as expected, others surpassed expectations, while there were still others who were way below par of what was expected of them. But, let’s not dwell on the negativities, and instead, let’s revel in those films that were embraced wholeheartedly by the audience. It’s time to take a look at the best box-office performers of Kollywood for the months of January to June 2016. Theri Video Source: V. Creations The first and only blockbuster of Kollywood in the first half of 2016, Theri has gone down as one of the best films of Vijay’s career, both in terms of box-office returns and critical acclaim. Despite having a stymied release in the Chengalpattu district – one of Tamil Nadu’s most lucrative circuits for theatrical business – because of a disagreement between the producers and exhibitors, there was still no stopping Therifrom hitting the bulls-eye at the ticket-window. The film is still going strong in Chennai even after 75 days, and should reach the elusive 100-day mark (a rare feat indeed these days). Sethupathi Video Source: Vansan Movies A taut thriller, Sethupathi was quite the critical darling besides being a big box-office success. It reaffirmed Vijay Sethupathi’s status as a bankable star and one of Kollywood’s beter actors going around today, besides giving the audience one of the most realistically portrayed cop in Tamil cinema. Thozha Video Source: PVP cinema Released simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu (Oorpi in Telugu), this poignant tale of friendship was equally heartwarming and funny as it was emotional and moving, which struck an instant chord with both Kollywood and Tollywood audiences. An official remake of the French film, The Intouchables, Nagarjuna and Karthi brilliantly portrayed the empathetic characters from the original film by brining their own flavor to them. Velainu Vandhutta Vellaikaaran Video Source: Vishnu Vishal Studioz This rib-tickling comedy kept moviegoers laughing in the aisles while its producers and distributors kept smiling all the way to the bank. Rajini Murugan Video Source: Thirrupathi Brothers Film Media Sivakarthikeyan is on a role, and how. Besides kicking off the year for the Kollywood box-office in a big way, he further cemented his status as one of the industry’s biggest draws. Coinciding with the festival of Pongal, this family drama was released at just the right time and found immense favor among the audience. Irudhi Suttru Video Source: Y NOT Studios This small-town sports film centered on boxing proved that a good script and realistic characters still work commercially, and it’s not just the archetypal masalaingredients that set the cash registers ringing. It also marked a welcome comeback for R. Madhavan to Tamil cinema. Pichaikkaran Video Source: Vijay Antony Film Corporation The surprise hit of the year so far. This Vijay Antony starrer released quietly and without much buzz only to unleash a significant roar at the ticket window. Seems like the audience was one over the simplicity and sweetness of Pichaikkaran’s story.
