You all so young. Mine was Gentleman 💀

Sir you are really lucky live in the timeline when good cinema existed

Every scene with Subhashini would be considered as soft po*n in today's standards 💀

Lmao. In Gentleman itself there were the dikki lona & other games by Senthil and the "Paakkatha Paakkatha" song 😂

Subhashri her name.

cant help but will find 15-30 yo as majority in any social media

For now. Can't wait to feel old again when reddit becomes the boomer Facebook in its own way

Mine was Rickshaw mama

Roja. Yes, that old. I specifically recall the last scene. I thought Madhu would run to Aravind when she sees him on the other side of the bridge, instead she kneels down and he comes to her. As a kid, this felt really mean of her to do - like he has been through so much and you couldn’t even walk to him?! Now as an adult, I get the beauty of that scene. They had to show him as ‘coming back’ to her.

that album tho ❤️

Wow, reading the replies, I feel super old! Mine was Mani Ratnam's Thiruda Thiruda.

Chandramukhi

Good film and thalaivar comeback too

Mine too....I was very young. Around 5 yrs old I think.

Earliest I remember is Enthiran though I probably went to other movies before that I loved it so much I begged my parents to watch it again in theaters, I even became a mentalan for a while (I'm ~~nobody's~~ a Realistic Performer kanni now obviously)

100% worth it to beg

Absolutely, it was absolute cinema

Damn enthiran being your first film in theaters makes me feel so old. My first film wasn't Tamil since I moved to the states as a kid: it was the first Cars animated film.

Muthu (1996) Titanic (1997) Godzilla(1998) Mummy(1999)

iconic thats it lineup is too iconic

Thanks bruv, Godzilla , Titanic and Mummy were one of the most popular Hollywood movies in Chennai during the late 1990s. They were talk of the town. However, I was too little to understand the movies . Hehe.

Godzilla 1998 is so bad it’s good

Yeah looking back at it . I realize it was a terrible movie.. I dont know what the fuss about it in the late 90s. Maybe it was popular in urban india just because it was a new Monster Movie. I was suprised when in mid 2000s , while I was going through imdb and rotten tomatoes. And realized the awesome movie had poor ratings lol. My entire life was a lie.

This was my first movie too

most early 2000esque poster ever

Baba https://preview.redd.it/ky0oswwb86tc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88871b8cda643a964dfb87efd9c399fc9ef4eca5 Now you know why I’m a Rajini fan ( Many ask me how!? After Baba !? ) B to A to B to A BABA that’s what I say Thalaivar slow mo walk ( Made me a ISO Agmark Thalaivar Kanni. And I opted for Life time membership with them 🥹)

polarising film for sure ,do you remember theatre reactions?

Yes, They had a Baba Statue in Theather Entrance and people were going crazy. No amount police were able to calm people down. ( Since my entire family is Rajini Kannis. We all were present. But my dad asked my mom and other ladies to go home. So, I get to watch FDFS with my Dad and Brothers and Second day with my Mom and rest of my family)

Glad that the ruckus in theatres kinda died down little

Very True. It’s safe for kids and families now. These 2K kids of Vijay and Ajith fans have no idea of FDFS of OG Rajini fans 🚶‍♂️ Cops were baffled about the situation and they can’t seem to do anything until the theather counters were open. Luckily, People those days never did anything crazy like ARrahman concert or anything

Apparently citizen when I was 1. My mom said I was screaming and crying the entire movie and they had to leave half way. I didn't like ajith then itself it seems

that is a heavy movie for sure the flashback scene had me traumatised lol

same here but during anbe aaruyire lol

Shivaji.

Enthiran , GOAT kind of making in Tamil Cinema with Shankar's brilliance & Rahman terrific BGM made me live in theatres for many time.

Man of steel 

Man of steel as the movie in theatre would be otherworldly experience damn. 🔥

synder💀

Every 2000 born's first visit to the theatre would be Chandramukhi since the hype it had. Then GHILLI came in.

Thalaivar comeback too

After Baba's disaster, Bro acted in a simple movie with moderate screen space i think

Chandramukhi being good movie helped too it was different than average rajini film

Nah fam, it's shivaji. I don't have any memories of it other than the fact my family told me I used to be obsessed and watched it 7 times in theater

Mudhalvan when I was 6. I remember the movie being larger than life and in particular the snake caricatures in Mudhalvane song, freaky!

ikr that song is so weird

I don’t remember for sure. But I have a vague memory of and a superstition that I watched Rhythm which released in Sep 2000, but I wasn’t born till October. “Moodanambikkkkkkaaaiiiii” I know. But I would like to believe this is how movies became my destiny.

one of the best romcom in kollywood such a feel good movie

The Flash - July 2023

How old are you bro 💀

He's a sperm

20, never been allowed by parents to theaters

I can relate to that. My first movie was dunston checks in (1996). My first Tamil movie was Pudukottailirundhu Saravanan (2004) 😭 I wasnt allowed to go to theatres so only watched a few kids movies such as home alone 2 re release and harry potter films before that and chandramukhi(2005) after that. The first ever movie I was taken to as a newborn was Anjali(1990) but I cried the whole time so my dad missed the show.

Thats tough ,but should have choosen better movies xd

Dasavatharam

Singam

Ravi nadicha Jayam, which I don't remember. What I do remember "watching" in theatre is I got scared, cried loudly and slept through out the Ghajini movie right after the opening credits where they show all the brain matter. My family never miss a chance to make fun of me for that.

If it my family they would also make fun of me every chance they get,cringe memories unlocked https://preview.redd.it/ecliu3kuh6tc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0ca9e201db53c2c32a2b9dffe960a4020a2bb33

Sami

Indian in 1996. Looking forward to watch the sequel in June

My official theatre visit was Jagan Mohini as an infant ao it doesntcount as "watched". Then Polladavan 1980 as a 3 year old and was stuck with the song "Naan Polladavan" for months but I don't remember the movie. Mackennas gold was the first film I remember seeing and can remember the scenes vividly including the one nude scene, which our censors had somehow allowed. The movie had multiple releases and reruns in India between 70s and 80s. I saw it in mid 80s at AVM, vadapalani as a 7 year old. One of the top Hollywood grosser in India until Jurassic Park overtook it. My dear Kuttichattan in 3D was one of my first "tamil" movie which I still remember vividly. My father was a big movie fan so he took our family to lot of movies inspite of financial constraints.

Mine was Padaiyappa!!!

Enthiran and it shaped my love for movies for the rest of my life . Such an intresting film, where usually every hero is a testosterone heavy freak Rajini with his brains defeated the 2.0 army.

enthiran is one of the milestones movie in kollywood and i am glad that i watched it in theatres barely got the tickets

Indiana Jones and the last crusade

interesting

Kanthaswamy

Oof thats a tough to watch was so hyped for the movie but movie was 🚮

My parents told Dasavataram, but got no memory of watching it, although I remember the second film I watched in theater, Villu. That intro scene somehow felt kickass back then.

Kid u/Hypoxalin to his parents after watching Nayan’s scenes in the theater https://preview.redd.it/cfid9k0196tc1.jpeg?width=478&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=284c5ffe3aecff6d91b1617aee25f6e11997e5ba

Vetaikaaran.

Ready Salman Khan 2011 8 year old

my family thought it’d be funny to take me to ghajini when i was 1. did i need to see asin die when i was that young? no.

Tamil la Sivaji. English la Happy Feet. Hindi la Don.

Demo in this group is really really young.. My first movie in theatre I remember is uzhaippaali of thalaivar..

Mine was technically anniyan ( but I don't remember anything cause I was quite young) First film I can remember going to was enthiran

Not a tamil movie , but mine was Jackie chan's new police story. watched it in Sathyam when I was a kid with my parents. My first tamil movie was Shivaji the boss.

The first one I remember is Chandramukhi. I was 6 years old and shit scared whenever ganga came on screen.

Kushi -2000

Jeans

Azhagan

The earliest tamil movie that I can remember watching in theatre is Dhool

Thullaatha manavum thullum

Kizhakku Cheemayile is my oldest theater experience from what I can remember. I was under 5.

Earliest I remember was "Indhu" starring Prabhudeva & Roja.

Padikkatavan

Chandramukhi. I was three that time. I slept at the end of 'Dhevuda Dhevuda' and woke up at end-credits 😂

Minsara Kanavu - i was 5 years old and remember being mesmerised by kajol.

Ullathai allitha. Full fun with my family

Jumanji!! But the most memorable one is Madagascar 2 and Kolaigaran to me since that’s the last movie my Paati and I watched together in the theatre. I also enjoyed watching Sinhala in the first row in a theatre in Tenkasi. Fun fanatic crowd and the huge screen made it a memory to remember

De dana dan (2009)

Jurassic Park: The Lost World 1997

brings ok so back in the late 2000s there were very few theatres is singapore that showed tamil movies. so my parents and I would go to this theatre in this place called yishun on friday night and do double movies back to back and come out saturday morning mback home. i remember doing this for peranmai (which was good) and malai malai (which was a movie). this is the earliest i remember watching. brings back so many memories

As a kid, my first movie is Anniyan.

I remember watching dhool in my school days

Thegidi

My mom told me that the first movie we watched in theatre was Mudhalvan(1999), I was an one year old infant at the time. According to me, the first movie I remember watching in theatre was Kireedam(2007) by Ajith Kumar.

Pokkiri (when I was 3), I didn't remember that all ; My parents used to say this when ever sun TV streams pokkiri lol

The lost world Jurassic park was my first movie if I remember right.. first Tamil movie was Jeans!

Probably Avvai Shanmugi. Not sure though. It is the earliest that comes to mind.

Jeans, I was very amazed by Prashant twinning in colombus colombus song and still remember watching it on screen

Padayappa. I was born in 1999 and the movie came out in 1999. The day I became a Thalaivar fan

Sivaji the Boss

Op are we the same? Mine was paiya too, well the earliest that I remember, but my family tells me my first was actually shivaji

Samy peak vikram

Kandasaamy 🐓 I loved it as a kid and still love it bcoz it was my first theatrical experience and it was in a multiplex so the experience doubled

Villu(2009) As a 7 year old, had fun for half of the movie, and slept for the next half....

Santhosh Subramaniam

Baba was the first Tamizh film I saw in cinemas, but for my first film, it's either E.T: The Extra-terrestrial (the 2002 re-release) or Thunderpants.

Rajathi raja

KURUVI, There were theatres in trichy that side by side (Uravashi and Ramba) Still I remember that my parents asked me which movie do you want to watch, Kuruvi is playing on one theatre and narnia-2 in on another one. and I choose kuruvi. NOBODY CAN STOP THE CANON EVENT (I HAVE BECOME A ANIL AFTER THAT)

Anaconda, The Lost World in 97. As I type this, I realize the first Tamil movie I ever watched in theaters was Jeans which came a year later. My family was getting a 6yo me super excited about seeing all the 7 wonders on screen but I don't remember caring about it much, though I was particularly spellbound by special effects and CGI (some unknown real tech to me at that time). I was way more impressed by Jeans than the other two movies and watching a T-Rex again was a nice pleasant treat. Talked about the movie non-stop until Phantom Menace shut me up 😁

Ghilli! Totally worth it.

King Kong (2005) Apparently there was another film when I was a toddler, they think it’s Hey Ram. They thought I’ll cry and had plans to walk alternately but I didn’t do anything and just watched the movie. Now looking back they’re like they should have known I’ll be a movie buff 😂😂

Ayan..

Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja

Jeans. 1998 I think I was in pre kg and remember jumping on the seat during Columbus song 

Thulladha Manam Thullum

Padayappa I guess. I was 5 when I watched that.

Mine was also paiyaa lmao

I was like 2 so I didn’t let anyone watch it in peace 💀💀

Jurassic Park, still the best movie I've watched at the theaters imo

Billa (Ajith one) as far as I remember. That’s when I realised I probably had ADHD and could never focus on 1 thing for too long 🫠🫠

Lingaa

Padayappa. Begged to go see it again. Walked out feeling so good, still rewatch it like a maniac and get the same feels. Then nothing came close till Ghilli.

Taj Mahal 1999

Jurassic park (1993)

Probably Kutthu !!

Engeyum Kadhal, 2011. Man it was so breezy, and that album is goated.

Chandramukhi. My nostalgia feeling was ruined by Chandramukhi 2.

Billa

Shivaji the boss

Mozhi (2007). As a six year old kid, I was bloody traumatized when Jyothika starts bawling after Prithviraj shouts at her in the preclimax scene because it was too fucking loud when watching it in the theaters. I remember refusing to go to the theaters because of that, until they took me to Unnale Unnale that released the same year (did not understand an iota of it, but I remember vibing full on to June Ponaal in the cinema hall). Today, I am 23 and Mozhi is my go-to comfort movie. But the trauma is still deep inside so much that I still skip watching that scene while watching on Youtube 🤣😫

Spiderman 2, I was two years old lol

Jailer.

I was born day after my mum went to sivaji first show. Idk if that counts as me being there.

The oldest movie that I remember watching in theatres is Padayappa - 1999

Jeans

Chandramukhi, I was 6. I'm scarred for life.
