The Tamil film industry, also known as Kollywood, has undergone significant transformations over the years. The decade from 2000 to 2010 was particularly notable for its growth, experimentation, and evolution. During this period, Tamil cinema witnessed a surge in creativity, innovation, and commercial success, producing some of the most iconic and enduring films in the industry's history.
Megastar Rajinikanth’s collaborations with director S. Shankar redefined market caps. Sivaji: The Boss (2007) became the first Tamil film to enter the UK Top 10 box office chart. Endhiran (2010) shattered global records, establishing Kollywood as a major player in the international sci-fi market.
For a long time, Tamil cinema was rural-centric. The 2000s saw the explosion of the IT sector in Chennai, creating a new, urban demographic. Filmmakers catered to this crowd with fresh, metro-centric stories.
