I was a Tamil-Telugu bilingual, technically released for Pongal 2015 after multiple delays.

Darling was the quintessential underdog. A low-budget horror-comedy, it told the story of a young man who moves into a bungalow haunted by the ghost of a woman seeking revenge. The film cleverly blended PG-13 level horror with situational comedy and a catchy soundtrack ("Thangamey").

Aambala was a quintessential Sundar C masala film—complete with larger-than-life heroism, family sentiment, slapstick comedy (via Santhanam and Sathish), and item numbers. The plot revolved around Vishal’s character protecting his family from a villain played by Vaibhav.
