Why is the Tamil film industry dominated by non-Tamil actresses? What happened with Tamil girls in Tamil Nadu? Why is it rare to find Tamil actresses?

 Nowadays we find many actresses from other regions acting for different languages.

The Tamil Film industry is dominated by non-tamil actresses as there aren’t many ladies from TN as an actress. Audiences would love to different kind of ladies on the screen. I find the actresses who knows the language or brought up from that language cultures acts well for that language films.

Let’s talk about actresses from TN who made big in Kollywood

Samantha Akkinenni

This lady is from TN. She acted in Tamil and Telugu films. After marriage, she got only telugu offers. Hopefully she gets some offers too. She was last seen in Family Man. She was seen as a Sri Lankan tamilian. It was nice to see her doing this kind of role.

Aishwarya Rajesh

This lady is tamilian. She is current young actress from TN who is active in tamil films. She is also active in Telugu.

I just like her.

Regina Cassandra

This lady is also from TN. She has done good number of films. She impressed me from Chakra film. Her first film as antagonist.

Andrea Jeremiah

This lady is also from TN. She has done good number of films and is also a good actress. She has a good number of upcoming tamil films.

Trisha Krishnan

Another nice lady actress from TN. She has played in many telugu and tamil films. She is one of the bold actress

It isn’t rare to find. There aren’t many ladies from TN aspiring to become an actress. Acting is also required. They also should be suited to the role. If they aren’t, the makers go for other actresses.

What are some mistakes made in Tamil movies?

 Singam 2 :

As the police station gets vandalized by hooligans to bust Danny out of prison, we get a closer shot at the board displaying the name of the station. It states “Magalir Kaaval Nilayam" in Tamil which translates to “All women's police station” in English. Ironical that Durai Singam would be working in a police station meant only for women.

Aadhavan :

Aadhavan had earlier applied sacred ash on his forehead. The ash would have got dissolved as soon as he got underwater. Instead we see the ash visible distinctly on his forehead underwater as he shoots the godman.

Anniyan :

Section 129 of the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988 states that “Anybody driving a motorcycle or a two-wheeler of any class in a public area is mandated to put on a protective safety helmet". It is conflicting to know that someone like Ambi who respects the law and preaches others to do so doesn't care to wear a helmet while riding his two-wheeler.

Vaaranam Aayiram :

Krishnan and Malini fall in love while attending the Madras Christian College in the 1970’s. In the song “Mundhinam” we see a Santro parked at a distance. However it was not until the 2000’s, the Santro was launched in India.

Nanban :

This movie takes place around the earlier half of this millenium (2001–2002) and yet Riya uses YouTube on a laptop running on Windows 7.

Windows 7 was launched by Microsoft in the year 2009 while YouTube was launched in the year 2005.

It is easy to point out mistakes in movies but besides it is more important to appreciate the hard work and effort put in by the cast and crew in presenting such marvellous movies.

Did Telugu ever make classy love stories sans skin show or vulgarity like Tamil movie 96?

 There are many telugu movies that have classic love stories but writing about few of them,

I can remember

This movie created lot of hype when it was announced that National Film Award for Best Child Artist for her amazing performance in Mani Ratnam's "Anjali" in 1990, is reportedly set to make her comeback to the entertainment industry.

But it turned to be total flop , even though all of its songs were super duper hit. It was a classic love story with out any vulgarity.

Yes the movie is “OY’

Another classic love story is Godavari. Most part of the movie is shot in a boat. The entire love story happens during the boat journey in the river Godavari.

Anand - This movie was a new beginning for the telugu movie era. completely different screen play at those times.

perfect love story to watch for over the week end. There was zero vulgarity and exposing but still Kamalinee Mukherjee could attract lot of fan following those days.

This is the tale of two college going student who don't realize the love for each other until they separated. Perfect story for Y2k audience. The movie name is “Nuvve Kavali”

I will keep adding more classic love stories. if you want to see more .

If Lord Murugan is the "Tamil God," do the Telugus, Malayalis, or Kannadigas have their own unique regional god as well?

 Kannada has a regional goddess, she is Bhuvaneshwari Devi.

She is considered to be a form of Parvathi Devi.

Bhuvaneshwari Devi is considered as mother Kannada, she is referred to as Kannada taayi Bhuvaneshwari. In Kannada, taayi means mother.

And this concept exists right from the time of first Kannada empire, Kadambas.

The idea of a temple dedicated to Bhuvaneshwari Devi was conceived by the Kadambas first.

We cannot find her mention during Chalukyas and Rashtrakutas era.

But, it was Vijayanagara rulers who carried forward the legacy.

They built Bhuvaneshwari temple at Hampi, next to the Virupaksha temple, the presiding deity of Vijayanagara empire.

It is the belief the Bhuvaneshwari took the avatar to help revive a Kannada kingdom. She is believed to have helped Hari Raya and Bukka Raya (founders) to establish the new kingdom.

Virupaksha and Bhuvaneshwari temple, Hampi.

Mysore Wodeyars too who were influenced by Vijayanagara rulers built a Bhuvaneshwari temple inside Mysore palace premises.

Bhuvaneshwari Temple, Mysore palace.

This was the idea that was adopted during the fight for the unification of Karnataka movement.

Even now, see any Kannada/Karnataka flag, the devi in that flag is Bhuvaneshwari.

We Kannadigas believe she will protect Kannada language, people and the region forever.

Even the Kannada flag was designed based on turmeric and kunkuma colours which are used for devi worship.

That’s the reason for yellow and red colours in Kannada flag.

You can find Bhuvaneshwari photo in every Kannada flag, be it auto stand or a Kannada sangha.

Apart from Bhuvaneshwari Devi, many Kannadigas consider Anjaneya also as Kannada God as he was born in Karnataka.

As per Ramayana, Hanuman was born in Kishkinda, that is modern Hampi in Karnataka.
