Filmography
Suryah's style of film making is unique, taking the viewer in to the plot itself with a fantastic narrative of the story. His first film, Vaali with Ajith as the hero in Tamil, was a runaway hit playing for 270 days. It had an adult theme and went off well with the audience.

Suryah instantaneously followed it up with a multi-lingual, Khushi. The script was a huge money-spinner in Tamil and Telugu but did not fare too well in Hindi. Without much doing for almost 2 years, he came up with another blockbuster, New in which Suryah played the lead role apart from directing and producing the film. The film's opening is considered to be one of the biggest in Tamil cinema in recent years, with over Rs.1.1 crore being collected on the first day at the box-office. The film's music by noted composer A. R. Rahman had created waves in the audio market. However, the movie was banned by the Madras High Court in August 2005, a year after it collected huge revenues in the box office.
