Pathbreaking or Trendsetter?
I guess a pathbreaking movie is most sucessfull if it creates a trend. In other words - something novel that breaks the present trend as well creates a trend of its own with many followers.
In that category two movies come to my mind:
1. In Hindi - Zanjeer (chain) - It created the angry young one-man arymy image for Amitabh. It broke all the previous drama based and love story based movies starring Rajesh Khanna et al (and movies like bobby etc). It spawned a new generation of movies - where one or two heroes get-together to bash the villain in his den. One sucessful follow-up was Sholay.
However, I consider this a bad trend... something from which Hindi movies took a long time to recover until QSQT came along. QSQT created another trend or rather rediscovered the young-lovers trend.
2. In tamil - when TF were dominated by city-based and in-door sets-based social message movies led by MGR, Sivaji (also woman power and comedy-based KB movies), there arrived an out-door based village movie: "16 Vayuthinile". The trend was strong to carry for almost a generation.... and is still going strong inspite of all those masala movies.

can you please define what you mean by path breaking? Do you mean as rajes earlier posted: "ones that set a trend" or the offshoot ones...like KB or Bharathiraja movies for instance....or the ones that are documentarish like Autography, Thavamai Thavamirundu, Meendum Seethai, Sethu, Pithamagan,Kasi, Kutty, Kanavu Mei Paada Vendum, Paruthiveeran, Kadhal, Veyyil or even Selvaraghavan's Pudhupettai....?

Hindi: Sholay. None before or after managed to achieve that magic.
Tamil: 16 Vayathinile. Took the films deeper into the village psyche after 'Annakkili'. Established the future of Tamil films with Rajini, Kamal and Sridevi. (& even Bhagyaraaj).
Malayalam: Chemmeen. As in the case of Sholay, none before, none after.
Telugu: Shankarabharanam (not a frequent viewer of Telugu movies)
Bengali: Paroma (Aparna Sen's movie on Rakhee. Awesome)

As for 'Udhayanaanu Tharam', it is good. But, it is a blatant copy of Bowfinger. Nevertheless, it is a good movie.
