At age of 24- "Bharathikku kannamma" (Priyamudan)
This is few years after his debut. But this one was a smashing hit and aged well too. I wonder if Vijay and viewers would have thought he would keep giving hit dance numbers for another nearly 25 years

At age of 25 -"Meghamaai Vanthu Pogiren" (Thullatha Manavum Thullum)
Beautiful song. Beautifully choreographed. Still remember how the film was a big hit in Kerala too and perhaps was the start of craze for the actor in the state too

At the age of 26 - "Mac Mac Macerena" (Kushi)
Another very popular movie. Another hit dance number. At this point, music director Deva keeps producing hit songs for Vijay.

At the age of 27- "Minnalai Pidithu" (Shajahan)
This film has other fast dance numbers. But how Vijay's moves make such slow songs enjoyable is a treat to watch

At the age of 28 - " Aal thotta Bhoopathy" ( Youth)
I dont even remember what this film was about. But oh boy-wasnt this song a big hit. Music director Mani Sharma, Singer Shankar Mahadevan,Vijay ,Simran are all in rocking form here. Simran especially!

At the age of 28 - " July Malargale" ( Bhagavathy)
Another melody song gelling well with Vijay's dance moves. Forgettable movie. Immensely popular song.

At the age of 29 - "Thaam Thakka" ( Thirumalai)
Start of Vijay 2.0 as this film also gave rise to the action superstar and Vijay moved slowly to action movies more than romance. Here he matches step to step with Lawrence. Start of Vijay-Vidyasagar era.

At the age of 30 - "Appadi Podu" ( Ghilli)
This film was a textbook on how to make mass commercial entertainers and the song turned out to be an anthem for the next 2-3 years ! Vijay's stakes in the boxoffice kept rising now.

At the age of 31 - "Vaadi Vaadi" ( Sachein)
Like VIjay says in the song - ' Abhi Dekho. Choopisthaanu'. This was a sweet movie. But its BO debacle I believe prompted Vijay to shift more to action movies.

At the age of 33-"Ella Pugazhum" (Azhagiya Tamil Magan)
My favorite dance number by a lead actor in a song , this is greatest output that Vijay-A.R Rahman combo has given. Vijay's desire to improvise in something he is already good at is seen here.

At the age of 33 - "Aadungada" (Pokkiri)
Another big blockbuster for the star Vijay. And as for dance, he keeps rocking - now here matching step to step with Prabhudeva ( also movie's director)

At the age of 34 - "Palaanadhu" ( Kuruvi)
Vidayasagar gives another hit number complimenting Vijay's dance. At this point, a movie's fate could go wrong at BO. But Vijay and his dance numbers could still be chartbusters on another side.

At the age of 35 - " Daddy Mummy" ( Villu)
An immensely forgettable movie. But dont know how, Vijay keeps getting hit chartbusters on other side. His dance still going strong.

Vijay-Vijay Antony pair delivers a solid hit song here.

At the age of 38- "Google" ( Thuppakki)
Start of what I would call Vijay 3.0. In what is my favorite Tamil action film ever, Vijay polishes himself as a superstar. As of dance numbers, he keeps delivering. He starts crooning more from here as well.

At the age of 40 - "Selfie Pulla" ( Kaththi)
I dont have to even go to how popular this song was. Vijay gives a solid action film here teaming up again with A.R Murugadoss. In my opinion, Tamil Cinema hasnt produced a better superstar movie after this.

At the age of 40 - "Pattu onnu" (Jilla)
I am putting this here only because they made Vijay and @Mohanlal dance together in a song. You dont get that often. As for film, what a great chance wasted bringing two big stars together.

At the age of 42 - "Jithu Jilladi"(Theri)
A big hit movie , Theri lets Vijay strike back quickly from the debacle that Puli was.

At the age of 43 - "Aaalapooran" ( Mersal)
The second greatest output from when Vijay-A.R Rahman teamed up. This was a great song. As for a superstar, Vijay starts reaching new peaks at box office.

At the age of 44 - "Simtaangaran" (Sarkar)
Murugadoss-Vijay combo couldnt repeat the success of Thuppakki and Kaththi here. But this song might still have struck chords with the audience.

At the age of 45 - "Bigiluma" ( Bigil)
No lyrics here, but this was very well choreographed as Vijay shakes his legs with all leading ladies.

During the covid era, a Vijay movie brings back viewers to Cinema halls , in the process also making this a huge chartbuster. What a big hit this song was !

Its 25+ years of hit dance numbers now, but Vijay's skill to keep generations dancing and mimicing his dance steps has only gone from strength to strength. This song became an instant hit
