1) Mudhalvan
The film Mudhalvan (Leader) released in 1996 was one of Rajinikanth’s greatest movies. He
plays Karthikeyan, a man from humble beginnings who has risen to become a leader in society
and politics. The movie is just 160 minutes long but manages to pack many different genres into
that time frame. It has elements of comedy, drama, romance and action. The story follows
Karthikeyan as he comes to terms with his new life, which comes with many obstacles. At times
he finds himself lost in other people’s expectations for him—he must marry at certain point or do
certain things—but he soon learns that his destiny is his own responsibility. Although it may be
hard to find on DVD, it is well worth watching if you get your hands on it.
