10. Malaikottai
A routine commercial mix, all ingredients well proportioned to make a movie that managed to maintain a consistent tempo till the end. Vishal's mass hero image well exploited, Priyamani used exclusively for song and dance routines, the label of a comedy action entertainer and a free run devoid of any competition were the factors that came together to make Malaikottai a profitable venture.
9. Polladhavan
Deepavali and a bevy of biggies, it is not exactly the safest time to release a movie. But Polladhavan stood tall on its merits. All credit to Vetrimaaran for showing enough courage to take a path less traveled and come out with flying colors. Rank 9 might not be a fair reflection of the impact that this movie has had, it is still in theaters with the total gross figure still rising.
8. Unnale Unnale
Unfortunately this had to be the last complete movie of Jeeva. Unnale Unnale stood out for its fresh feeling, exquisite camera work and a new perspective of love. It was made for youngsters and they lapped it up, Harris Jeyaraj's music playing a big part in it. Was in theaters for quite a long time.
7. Vel
The biggest hit of Deepavali 2007, Vel was Hari's yet another family drama set in a rural backdrop rode on the ability of the director to make the most out of a script. Surya's double role and chemistry with Asin were key factors in Vel hitting the target.

Meli.. that's b'cos some production companies have a tiff with SunTV and don't release any clips/trailers/songs from their movies to SunTV. I remember Kalaipuli Thanu had an issue with SunTV before when they released Aalavandhan and so didn't give out any clips from Sachin (Vijay) and Thotti Jaya (Simbu) to SunTV.
Now these two patched up and so for his forthcoming release of Kandasami, Thanu had SunTV cover even their promo function earlier this year.
I believe it's the same thing with Balaji movies and SunTV - for Billa'07. BTW are clips/songs of this movie released to any other TV channel? Perhpas Kalaignar TV? Can someone from India confirm?

Actually Kalaignar tv was the first channel to show promo of Billa on deeppavali. Maybe they brought the exclusive rights to broadcast in tvs, but if that is the case, they did buy sivaji but still showed promos?
Only time I saw the clips was during Ajiths every first interview after a long long gap(will come back to this interview later onπ)
