On July 4, 2008, Sasikumar a name unbeknownst till that point, swooped the movie-goers by storm and made heads turn in the film industry. He was the writer, director and producer of Subramaniyapuram, a Tamil period film that not only turned into a huge box-office success, but was also widely acclaimed for the authentic recreation of the 80's and engaging content. Today, on its 10th release anniversary, fans of the film (including celebrities Siddharth, A.R. Murugadoss and Anurag Kashyap) from all over, shared their fond memories they hold about the movie on twitter under the hashtag #10YearsofSubramaniyapuram and here is a look at some of them:

Subramaniyapuram will always be on my all-time favorite list. The movie actually took us to the lanes of Subramaniyapuram and I believe everyone who watched the movie traveled along with Azhagar, Paraman & gang.#10YearsOfSubramaniyapuram pic.twitter.com/0ePwETNs3F

A Film that made a benchmark, a trendsetter and lots of hope to debutantes the amount of perfection in bringing back 80s in small budget is still a study to many #10yearsofsubramaniyapuram @SasikumarDir
