10. Jeeva
Three shots at the box office, one on target and the other two way off it. That was 2007 for Jeeva. If he underlined his gumption once again with Katradhu Tamil, he was also betrayed by his inexperience in choices of scripts in Rameshwaram and Pori. Rameshwaram in particular was a big let down after looking like another Kattradhu Tamil
9. Surya
Just one release for the year and that too has turned out to be a big hit and still Surya is at ninth for the year 2007. Well, that is because we have come to expect more from this man, not just watchable entertainers. Yes, Vel was good, but we are used to seeing Surya in Kaaka Kaakas and Ghajinis, aren't we. Not a bad year, 2008 is sure crucial for Surya.
8. Dhanush
For Dhanush 2007 began well with his 2006 release - Thiruvilaiyaadal Aarambham still in theaters. But all that came down in one big bang with Parattai Engira Azhagu Sundaram, a movie on which the actor and his fans had a lot of hope. But Dhanush has proved that he is not one to be bogged down, he struck back for Deepavali with Polladhavan!
7. Vishal
2007 is the year he got his first title, Puratchi Thalapathi, his fans lovingly bestowing him with it. He has a 100% record for the year; both Thamirabarani and Malaikottai did enough and more for the trade to retain faith in his crowd pulling ability. But there is quite a widespread feeling that his choices seem to be getting repetitive, needs to reinvent himself while he is still in favor with the audience.
6. Madhavan
Till mid-2007 we heard and saw very little of Maddy, except for the fleeting role in Guru. But the second half had something for all Maddy fans. A typical masala mix in Arya which while not being the stuff that Madhavan usually appears in, managed to hold on and Evano Oruvan gave us a glimpse of his penchant for class. With a lot of his movies queuing up for early 2008 releases, things are definitely looking bright for Maddy.
5. Prithviraj
Surprise No.1 – Prithiviraj, certainly seems to have to taken the lift to the top of the building of stardom. The distance that he has put behind him in 2007 is amazing. Beginning with Mozhi in February, following it up with Sattham Podathay during midyear and finishing off with Kannamoochi Enada, all of which did well, Prithvi has had a near perfect year. It is going to be tough to maintain the same momentum.
