They are the harbingers of surprise and suspense. These unsung heroes have evoked many emotions ranging from humour to suspense and stomach-churning tension. The 'they' refers to nothing but phones, a device that gave rise to some of the coolest scenes in the history of film (remember the 'specific set of skills' scene from Taken and the thrilling 'I am waiting' sequence from Thuppakki). Here is the list of the most memorable phone conversation scenes of Tamil cinema.

Thuppakki
THUPPAKKI

Thuppaki's interval block will go down as one of the finest cliffhanger sequence of actor Vijay's filmography. This phone conversation happens at a crucial moment of the film's proceedings, where we get to see the nameless antagonist (played by Vidyut Jammwal) for the first time. Writer-director AR Murugadoss has deftly executed this well-written mass moment.
