 * Superstardom is more entrenched and well established in Tollywood and the political nexus goes back to 1940s — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.85.1.2 (talk) 15:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Actresses are paid lesser in Kollywood than Tollywood bcoz of the omnipresent superstardom culture in Kollywood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.85.1.2 (talk) 15:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Almost all technical skills, hi-tech facilities and print processing for Tollywood are present in Kollywood only — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.85.1.2 (talk) 15:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * - nonsense. KRRISH used Prasad EFX/VFX. considering its the most 'hi-tech' of Indian Films to date, Tollywood is clearly equipped with 'hi-tech facilities'. FWIW, Prasad EFX/VFX is part of Prasad Labs - very much part of Tollywood. visit www.efxmagic.com you will see for yourself. Next time you make a wild allegation, be prepared to back it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.93.87.25 (talk) 08:54, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose that Tamil Movie History be merged into Tamil cinema § History. The former article is on the same topic and has issues as mentioned in the tags. MT Train Talk 06:39, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Support merger — The article, Tamil Movie History in its current state, does not satisfy WP:GNG. Also, per nom. Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 15:08, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

 *  Refuse strongly to merge, user mvbsravi strongly refuse to merge these two pages due to its content value, they both are unique. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mvbsravi (talk • contribs) 20:15, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Comments

 * The Tamil cinema § History section also has issues, in that the Tamil cinema § Early exhibitors subheading also is sparsely referenced and borders on excessive trivia, in my personal opinion. It is possible for some expert(s) to work on having a main article Tamil Movie History, which is based on cleaned up information plus some of information from Tamil cinema § History, which has undue focus in the Tamil cinema article. A reference can be made to Tamil Movie History from the heading Tamil cinema § History. VasuVR  ( talk,  contribs ) 07:55, 10 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Having closed the discussion, I attempted the merge, but there is so little unique content at Tamil Movie History, and none of it is referenced, that I've redirected rather than merged. Klbrain (talk) 06:11, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 11 November 2018
Change first sentence to: Tamil cinema is the Tamil language film industry in India or other Tamil-speaking countries.

please, because India is not the only Tamil-speaking country that makes films. Thanks. Kimberly Possible (talk) 16:13, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
