5 Underrated Suriya Movies That Deserve a Second Watch

Suriya has managed to wow the audiences with commercial hits like Singam and Soorarai Pottru, but some of his finest works lie in films that were not much recognized. Five such underrated gems of the versatile star and where to stream them from. 5 Underrated Suriya Movies That Deserve a Second Watch.

5 Underrated Movies of Suriya:

1. Aakasam Nee Haddura (2020)
Inspired by the life of Captain G. R. Gopinath, this critically acclaimed film was celebrated, yet I still believe it has remained underrated because of the emotionality and grounded narration. Powerful and inspirational is Suriya as a man taking on the aviation industry under the brilliant direction of Sudha Kongara.

Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video

2. Surya Son of Krishnan (2008)
It is an emotional journey of a son tracing his father’s steps-a tragic love story, a tale of loss, and a story of legacy. One of the most poetic and neglected films of Suriya, the film has him in dual roles fully soul-stirring.

Where to Watch: Disney+ Hotstar

3. Aaru (2005)
A gritty action drama directed by Hari, Aaru has Suriya in the role of a street-smart local enforcer tangled in a web of betrayal. His rough and emotionally-attuned performance greatly infuses life into an otherwise mass-centric role often overlooked.

Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video / ZEE5

4. 7aum Arivu (2011)
This ambitious fusion of ancient history and contemporary science tells the story of Bodhidharma and his modern descendant, both played by Suriya. Supported by versatile acting from Suriya, this film was innovative for its time but deserves greater acclaim for its ambition.

5. Maattrraan (2012)
In perhaps one of the most challenging roles of his career, Suriya plays conjoined twins entangled in love, identity, and ultimate betrayal. Mixed reviews met with the movie’s release, but it was a technical showpiece in proving Suriya’s merit in handling two emotionally challenging roles.
