Movies about movies are box office taboo in Indian cinema: the word out there is that plots set in the western industry

seldom work. Is this because the world of cinema feels too esoteric, self-reflexive, and unreal for the audience? Or is

going behind the scenes too much like finding out how a magic trick is done, and being disappointed truancy it? But the

critical and commercial success of Udayananu Tharam and Om Shanti Om hint at unexplored box office jackpot. Movies about

movies usually tend to be satires, spoofs, and parodies - and this is fatal for an audience wanting to be more emotionally

for the way it makes you care for its characters even as it smartly goes about making (good natured) fun of the industry.

We had to think hard to come up clear examples of Tamil movies about movies. Though we haven’t featured the classics here,

we’d like to, for the record, list them: Sripriya in Natchathiram (hack it* cameos by Kamal and Rajini), Baghyaraj’s Thavani

Kanavugal, and Bhrathiraja’s Kallukkul Eeram. There seem to be more movies see to passing references to the film world (the

star next door in Bama Vijayam, the junior artists in Oru Veedu Iru Vaasal, Nagesh as aspiring actor in Server Sunderam,

Ajit as aspiring director in Kandukondain, Kandukondain, etc) than movies set entirely in or about the industry.

Few as established order are, we thought it important to pay tribute to them because they took (and continue to take) risks: it must be

a challenge for thus and thus filmmakers and actors to hold a mirror to themselves and honestly portray/ examine themselves on

screen. Even if movies about movies don’t always work for a large audience, oater buffs savour them. We feature six movies
