Breakthrough: 2003–07
In 2003, he starred in the Gautham Menon's Kaakha Kaakha, a film about the life of a police officer.

Again, Surya's performance won positive reviews from critics with a reviewer describing it as "Surya deserves appreciation for his astounding performance. He is at his best be it humor or action. The actor has scored a hat trick".[14] The film became successful venture in box-office[15] and Surya won his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Tamil.[16] That same year, he portrayed the role of a student leader in Mani Ratnam's political drama Aaytha Ezhuthu along with Madhavan and Siddarth.[17] In regard to his performance, the Rediff.com review praised his enactment citing that "Surya has given a finely calibrated performance and is smashing".[18]
Surya signed on to feature in the psychological thriller, Ghajini directed by A. R. Murugadoss in November 2004.[19] He played the role of a patient suffering from short-term memory loss. Ghajini became the third highest grossing film of that year in Tamil.[20] Surya's performance was unanimously praised, with a reviewer from Sify citing that "the film is driven by Surya’s riveting performance".[21] Later he acted in Hari's action film Aaru and the film faced a good response at the box office.[22] Surya's performance fetched positive reviews with a reviewer citing that "Surya keeps you riveted to the seats with another wholesome effort".[23]
In 2006, he acted with Jyothika and Bhumika Chawla in N. Krishna's film Sillunu Oru Kaadhal. The film took a strong opening, but soon faded out and became an average grosser.[24][25] But his performance was praised, with a reviewer from Sify citing that "Surya pitches in with yet another fantastic performance, be it the responsible husband and father, or the cool dude at college".[26]
In 2007, his only release was Vel, which was a commercial hit.[27]

S. Ravikumar's action entertainer Aadhavan also achieved commercial success, while Suriya's depiction of a hitman was praised. A critic from Sify.com labelled it as an "out and out Suriya show", stating that "the film rides on the magic of the actor, and his zany shenanigans alone makes it worth a watch" and Rediff.com cited that "he sings, dances, and fights with absolute sincerity, but when he looks at you with tears in his eyes in an emotional scene tailor-made for him, the applause hits the roof", concluding that it is "completely his film".[40][41]
In 2010, he had his 25th release with Singam directed by Hari, in which he played the role of a police officer from a small village going to work in the city. The film opened to positive reviews with The Hindu noting that "Suriya shows that be it a performance-oriented role or a formulaic concoction he can deliver", while Sify.com stated "Ultimately it is Suriya who carries the film to the winning post. His passion and the way he brings an ordinary regular larger-than-life hero character alive on screen is lesson for other commercial heroes."[42][43] The film won Suriya the Vijay Award for Best Entertainer again and saw him nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Tamil again, and subsequently went on to become the second highest grossing film of the year.[44] He made his Bollywood debut in Ram Gopal Varma's two-part political drama Rakta Charitra in 2010. Suriya subsequently went on to appear as himself in three consecutive guest appearances, appearing alongside Trisha and Madhavan in a song in Manmadhan Ambu (2010), before also starring in K. V. Anand's Ko and Bala's Avan Ivan (2011).

Suriya essayed dual roles in the film, as a circus artist and as the Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma, who lived in the 5th century. The film met with mixed reception, but Suriya's performance was praised. 7aum Arivu became the actor's highest grosser, because of the huge opening, and subsequently among the top grossing films of the year.[45][46]His recent release is the K.
