If you are new to this world, do not start with the random stuff on YouTube. Start with the "Big Four" directors currently ruling the roost: (for realism), Lokesh Kanagaraj (for a shared cinematic universe of action), Mani Ratnam (for poetic visuals), and Pa. Ranjith (for political voice). Watch Vikram , then watch Super Deluxe , then watch Soorarai Pottru .
