2. "Rendu" (Director Sundar C) - "Rendu" is Madhavan's next release after the highly successful "Thampi". It was with "Thampi" that Madhavan broke into the B and C centres. So, filmgoers were curious about the Madhavan and Sundar C combination.

3. "Varalaaru" (Director K.S. Ravi Kumar) - This is turning out to be Ajith's biggest hit in the recent times.

4. "E" (Director Jannanathan) - The success of "E" directed by Jannanathan, the national award-winning director of "Iyarkai", shows there is an audience for good offbeat films in Tamil also.

5. "Vettayadu Vilaiyadu" (Director Gowtham Menon) - Neither the Diwali releases nor the films that came after that could stop this film by Gowtham Menon. It is on its way to celebrate 100 days.

 
Imman, the Tamil music director to watch
By Aparna Nath,

Chennai, Nov 28  Vidyasagar's new album "Sivappathikaram" is doing quite well. With the film expected to do well, the album may do even better in the course of next few weeks.

The top five Tamil albums are:

1. "Sivappathikaram" (Vidyasagar): "Atrai Thingal" sung by Madhu Balakrishnan and Sujatha is the toast of the album, which has a mix of folk, melody and 'dappan koothu'.

2. "E" (Srikant Deva): This album is one of the biggest successes of Srikant Deva. "Theepori Parakum" sung by Tipu and chorus is especially popular.

3. "Thiruvilayadal Aarambham" (D. Imman): Imman is slowly becoming one of the music directors to watch for. "Ennamma Kannu" by Karthik and Ranjith is a huge hit.

4. "Rendu" (Imman): Surprisingly the album has all the songs of Harris Jayaraj from "Minnale". Yet, Imman's songs stand out.

5. "Vallavan" (Yuvan Shankar Raja): "Loose Penne" sung by Silambarasan is still a rage though the film is slowly on its way out of the theatres.
