Tamil Film Industry Creates History This Year
|

 The Tamil film industry has opened up a new page in the history of
Indian cinema this year. According to reports in the media, a total
number of 150 films have been produced from Kollywood in the year 2010, a
number which was never before achieved in the history of Kollywood
cinema. While this fact on the one hand has made the filmmakers and
actors of Tamil cinema happy, the producers and distributors of the
films have not stopped complaining because a huge percentage of Tamil
films released in the year 2010 have failed to bring box office returns.
An
expert from the industry has revealed in a statement to the media that
as many as 63 films out of the 150 released this year have failed to
cross the 25lakhs mark in total earning from theaters, a fact which
requires a lot of attention because in spite of the loss of money that
producers and distributors have seen this year, the actors of Kollywood
have refused to compromise with their fees from each film. This is an
established fact in Kollywood that the flops in an actor’s career
increases, but his fees do not decrease!
However, a good
development noticed in Kollywood this year is the growing popularity of
films which are good in content, rather than only superstar driven. A
good example of this fact is the Mani Ratnam film ‘Raavanan’, which
though boasted of good actors, failed to strike gold at the box office.
Hope the year 2011 too sees more content-driven films being produced
from Kollywood.
