The Thamizh Padam is a good starting point if you want to see a spoof of all tropes and stereotypes of Tamil language films (Kollywood). What's not there to make fun of? With oversized heroic arcs in films and over dramatised trivia in cliched characterisations, we cannot help but beg directors to make different movies.
A lot of "important" people were very offended that this film was made. This shows the success of the film in capturing the very essence of a spoof comedy. Quite a few aspects of archaic filmmaking techniques were brutally trolled at times, giving a wake up call to film makers. I have a feeling that this film is more responsible for Kollywood's new batch of fresh films coming out in the last decade. This film would have helped more than any filmmaking academy on what "not to make".
The film follows along a main lead, complete with the introduction song. At times, the portrayal even questions all sections of the society irking quite a few.. Overall, the nonstop comedy and the hilarious setups make for a comfortable viewing. This is for you if want a comedy spoof that questions all pointless scenes in Tamil films.
