Hitherto, the academic study of Indian cinema has focused
primarily on Bollywood, despite the fact that the Tamil film
industry, based in southern India, has overtaken Bollywood in terms
of annual output. This book examines critically the cultural and
cinematic representations in Tamil cinema. It outlines its history
and distinctive characteristics, and proceeds to consider a number
of important themes such as gender, religion, class, caste, fandom,
cinematic genre, the politics of identity and diaspora. Throughout,
the book cogently links the analysis to wider social, political and
cultural phenomena in Tamil and Indian society. Overall, it is an
exciting and original contribution to an under-studied field, also
facilitating a fresh consideration of the existing body of
scholarship on Indian cinema.
