From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tamil cinema is a part of Indian cinema based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The films are made primarily in the Tamil language. Chintamani (1937) and Haridas (1944) are landmark films from the early stages of Tamil cinema. Chintamani was the first major box office success, while Haridas is noted for its significant impact and long theatrical run, reflecting the industry's development before its formal establishment post-independence. The list of films is based on conservative box office estimates as reported by industry sources and includes only Tamil language films produced by Tamil cinema, excluding those produced by other industries. The figures are not adjusted for inflation. However, there is no official tracking of figures, and sources publishing data are frequently pressured to increase their estimates.[1][2]
