Thuppaki as a movie itself is unique in the way it showcased the life of an army man, on par with reality. The twelve men shoot-out sequence, where Captain Jagdish (Vijay) and his friends plan a mission against the sleeper cells, provided an engaging experience to the audience with its gripping drama and intelligent writing.

The racy cinematography and music also contributed and elevated the scene.

7. Kaala – Interval | Black vs White

Without a doubt, the sheer presence of Superstar Rajinikanth made many scenes over the years, iconic, and long since Sivaji, a heroic interval block that went missing for Superstar Rajinikanth came into fruition with Pa. Ranjith’s directorial, Kaala. The long-time rivalry between Karikaalan, who has Dharavi under his control, and Hari Dada (Nana Patekar), who aims to make Mumbai pure, boil up. And they come face-to-face after a long time, but, this time both men are powerful and have an army behind them.

The point where Hari Dada underestimates the power of Kaala and tries to leave the place by humiliating Kaala was a splendid heroic moment of the film. The quick reply Kaala gives to him by showcasing his crowd support and the warning by the very end added the much-needed momentum to the scene. The performances by both Nana Patekar and Rajinikanth with vengeance and hatred filled inside them and disguising those emotions with a smile, elevated this particular scene to another level.

6. Mudhalvan – The Interview

Next on the list of the Best Powerful Scenes in Tamil Movies is the stellar interview scene in Mudhalvan between the Chief Minister, Aranganathar (Raghuvaran), and journalist Pugazhenthi (Arjun). We have seen several interviews of politicians always being in a polished manner, and different from the set of questions Mudhalvan cracked this idea by having a set of bold questions as the voice of the public, that too on a live broadcast.

The sensible hard-hitting dialogues of Writer Sujatha and the direction of Shankar earned tons of appreciation for the scene. And the aftermath that takes place after Pugazhenthi gains fame as a one-day Chief Minister forces him to contest in the upcoming elections. The manner in which this sequence was staged emotionally and showcasing a man rising from (and for) the public made the interval point a remarkable one.

5. Jigarthanda – Sethu Catches Karthick Spying

Jigarthanda details the story of a filmmaker Karthick (Siddharth), who develops a script about a Gangster, Assault Sethu (Bobby Simha). In anticipation and hunger to get a compelling sequence for the film, he spies Sethu with a hidden mic and follows him to the crime scene. Then comes the guessing game of who is the cat, and who is the mouse among the audience, and that made the scene very engaging to get to know who got stuck in the trap. The quick actions that occur within a blink of our eye and the way Assault Sethu takes control made the interval an exciting one filled with goosebumps.

The moment Vijaykumar reveals the dead body of the culprit hanging him upside down on the bridge and revealing that he is continuously one step ahead, made every viewer go crazy. The composition of the scene with Vijay’s mannerisms and powerful brotherhood emotions, sharp dialogues, pacy cinematography and cuts, and the tremendous background score by G. V.

The heart-thumping looting sequence with tons of action by Thala gave a big high that even continued with the planning sequence accompanied by a tremendous acting performance by Ajith.

The way it was executed interactively with the audience, and most importantly, Yuvan Shankar Raja’s extraordinary background score added more excitement to the scene.

With a chance to humiliate Padayappa, she makes him stand in front of her, without providing him a chair to show her supremacy. The heroic moment where Padayappa gets a swing from the ceiling with his shawl and the conversation filled with Superstar Rajni’s trademark style and mannerisms makes this scene an evergreen one.
