5 Must-Watch Dhanush Movies on OTT You Can't Miss

Directed by Dhanush himself, Raayan is an intense action-drama centered around a simple man pushed into the dark underbelly of crime to protect his family. Filled with high-stakes tension, crisp storytelling, and a gripping score by A.R. Rahman, it's a solid addition to his directorial career.

Directed by Mari Selvaraj, Karnan is an epic socio-political drama where Dhanush plays a courageous young man fighting for the rights and dignity of his oppressed village. Dhanush delivers an emotionally charged performance, backed by stunning cinematography and powerful rural imagery.

Marking Dhanush’s unforgettable Bollywood debut, Raanjhanaa tells the story of Kundan, a small-town boy from Varanasi whose unrequited love spans years. Dhanush's charm, energy, and raw emotion in the second half make this romantic drama a cult classic.

Directed by Vetrimaaran, Vada Chennai is a raw, non-linear gangster epic set in North Chennai. Dhanush plays Anbu, a talented carrom player who inadvertently gets drawn into a deadly war between local political factions. It is widely regarded as one of the best crime sagas in Tamil cinema history.

Taking the top spot is Asuran, another masterpiece directed by Vetrimaaran. Dhanush gives a career-defining performance as Sivasami, an aging farmer forced to go on the run to protect his son after a brutal violent clash with a wealthy landlord. Dhanush went on to win the National Film Award for Best Actor for this remarkable role.
