The industry steadily grew until the fifties, sixties, and seventies when the New Tamil movies began to rule the world courtesy of the trio – M.G.Ramachandran(M.G.R), Sivaji Ganesan and Gemini Ganesan. Remember those blockbusters including Alibabavum Narpadhu Thirudargalum(first full-length color film in Tamil, released in 1955), Chandhrodhayam, Ragasiya Police 115, Pudhiya Bhoomi, Adimai Penn, Engal Thangam, and Rickshawkaran.
And how can we forget those highly expressive eyes, mobile face and fine voice of Sivaji Ganesan in that good old past? At present, superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan dominate the Tamil filmdom. Behind them, Vijay, Ajith, Vikram, Surya, and Madhavan also rake in the moolah. Leading heroines of Kollywood are Asin Thottumkal, Nayantara, Trisha Krishnan, Shriya Saran, Tamanna Bhatia, Sandhya, Reema Sen, Sadha, Sneha, Bhumika Chawla, and Namitha. All these sensations are why we love watching the latest Tamil movies.
