Everyone of us must have come across this line very often- "I can tell the film's story by just looking at the poster". Posters are a source of entertainment for many, and a good poster must convey the film's theme with limited, yet effective comprehension of design. Tamil cinema has perfected the art of poster making after the advent of digital tools in the field of advertising. Here is the list of the most awesome posters that really changed our underestimating views on this underrated form of art. We would also like the viewers to give some kick-ass suggestions to this never-ending list in the comments section

Aaranya Kaandam also marked the debut of renowned designer Gopi Prasanna, who went on to become the most illustrious publicity designer of Tamil cinema, with films like Mersal, Kaththi and the upcoming Super Deluxe (director Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s second film after AK).
