Top 20 Tamil Songs December 2019

Tamil Cinema / Kollywood or Kodambakkam Film Industry: Tamil cinema is Indian motion pictures produced in the Tamil language. Based in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the hub of the Tamil film industry is in the Kodambakkam neighborhood of Chennai. Kollywood (I was wrong as I thought Kannada Film Industry as Kollywood) is a colloquial term used to describe this industry, the word being a portmanteau of Kodambakkam and Hollywood.

The first Tamil silent film, Keechaka Vadham, was made by R. Nataraja Mudaliar in 1918. The first talking motion picture, Kalidas, was a multilingual and was released on 31 October 1931, less than seven months after India’s first talking motion picture Alam Ara. By the end of the 1930s, the legislature of the State of Madras passed the Entertainment Tax Act of 1939.

Tamil cinema later had a profound effect on other film-making industries of India, establishing Madras (now Chennai) as a secondary hub for Hindi cinema, other South Indian film industries, as well as Sri Lankan cinema. Over the last quarter of the 20th century, Tamil films from India established a global presence through distribution to an increasing number of overseas theatres in Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Japan, the Middle East, parts of Africa, Oceania, Europe, and North America. The industry also inspired independent film-making in Tamil diaspora populations in Malaysia, Singapore, and the Western Hemisphere.

Tamilians: The Tamil people, also known as Tamilar, Tamilans or simply Tamils, are an ethnic group who speak the language Tamil as their mother tongue and trace their ancestry to southern India and north-eastern Sri Lanka.
