I had already discussed Top 10 Bollywood films of 2018 in my last column on December 16. 

1. Vada Chennai (North Chennai) by Vetri Maaran, Tamil: Masterly, sprawling gangster epic about a carrom player drawn into the mafia, starring Dhanush, Aishwarya Rajesh and Andrea Jeremiah. The densely packed screenplay, also by Vetri Maaran, is superbly directed, with panache. Premiering at the Pingyao International Film Festival, it certainly lends itself to a web series as well.
