What are the best Ajith Kumar movies to watch?

With a career spanning several decades, Ajith has solidified his position as one of the most versatile and reliable actors, admired for his intense performances, unwavering commitment, and magnetic on-screen presence.

Commencing his journey as a supporting actor, Ajith gradually ascended to prominence with his breakthrough performance in the film Aasai (1995), directed by Vasanth. His portrayal of a young man entangled in a love triangle earned him widespread acclaim, showcasing his potential as a leading protagonist. From thereon, Ajith continued to dazzle audiences with a diverse array of roles and impactful performances.

A significant milestone in Ajith's career arrived with the movie Vaali (1999), helmed by S. J. Surya. In this psychological thriller, Ajith delivered a memorable dual-role performance, essaying twin brothers with contrasting personalities. His nuanced depiction garnered critical acclaim and reinforced his stature as a versatile actor adept at portraying intricate characters.

During the early 2000s, Ajith's career witnessed an upward trajectory with a series of successful ventures like Mugavari (2000), Citizen (2001), and Villain (2002). These films showcased his versatility across various genres, ranging from romantic dramas to action-packed thrillers, further bolstering his reputation as a bankable superstar.

However, it was his portrayal in the blockbuster hit Dheena (2001) that firmly established Ajith as a leading action hero in Tamil cinema. Directed by A. R. Murugadoss, the movie featured Ajith in a commanding role as a gangster seeking redemption. His powerful performance and captivating screen presence resonated deeply with the audience, solidifying his status as an action icon.

Over the subsequent years, Ajith continued to deliver hit films such as the Don remake Billa (2007), the neo-noir Mankatha (2011), and the “masala” romantic action comedy Veeram (2014), showcasing his versatility across different genres. His ability to portray complex characters and forge emotional connections with the audience contributed to his enduring popularity.

Why is Mankatha Ajith Kumar’s best movie to watch? 

Mankatha stands out as Ajith Kumar's best movie due to its gripping storyline, slick direction by Venkat Prabhu, and Ajith's electrifying performance. Portraying the role of Vinayak Mahadev, a ruthless and cunning cop, Ajith showcases his versatility as an actor. While he starts out as a law-abiding policeman, Ajith impeccably covers the character’s evolution to a borderline criminal who gets involved in a cricket betting scandal.

His commanding screen presence, intense dialogue delivery, and seamless portrayal of the morally ambiguous protagonist elevate the film to great heights. Ajith's performance adds layers of complexity to the character, making Mankatha a cult favourite.
