If you have been following the South Indian movies , say , from about 3 years, one good trend that you must have noticed must be , the frequency of so called non-commercial formulaic movies has been on the rise. Every now and then you get to see a movie , that's doesn't follow the conventional "Framework".
One interesting aspect that I observed was the uncanny use of some Medical Concepts in each of these movies. Take for example
Multiple- Personality Disorder in ANNIYAN/APARICHITUDU and CHANDRAMUKHI,
Short-term memory loss in Ghajini,
Visual hallucination in Gopichand starrer Ontari,
Organ Transplantation in Bhoomika starrer Anasuya,
Rohypnol usage in Charmi starrer Anukokunda Okaroju,
Atrificial insemination and Hypnotism in director Ravi Babu's AMARAVATHI,
Psychosis in the latest release from Just Yellow, Genelia D'Souza starrer Katha.

The trend has not caught just the south indian director's imaginations, but also the national directors' too. The story of a dysletic kid in Taare Zameen par and a 13 year old suffering from Progeria in Paa are two examples that i remember off hand.

So, future thriller director aspirants, the right place to get your story ideas is not International Movie databases and novels, but your Medical Dictionaries!!!! Go for 'em..:)
