Tamil film music, composed by legends like Ilaiyaraaja and A. R. Rahman, is a religion. Today, record labels like Sony Music South, Think Music, and Lahari Music release official video songs on YouTube. A single popular song—like “Vaathi Coming” from Master or “Arabic Kuthu” from Beast —can accumulate over 500 million views.

However, the modern era of "popular videos" traces its roots to the 1990s. When Rajinikanth’s Baashha (1995) released, fans couldn't re-watch the "Naan oru thadava" scene on repeat unless they owned a VHS tape. Fast forward to 2024, and the same dialogue has been looped in over 500,000 YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok compilations.

The 1990s saw the rise of Rajinikanth, who would go on to become a cultural icon in Tamil Nadu. Movies like "Baasha" (1995) and "Muthu" (1995) cemented his status as a superstar. The 2000s saw the emergence of new directors like Mani Ratnam, Aadhavan, and Bala, who brought a fresh perspective to Tamil cinema.

Tamil cinema began its talkie journey with Kalidas in 1931. The early decades were dominated by mythological stories and stage-play adaptations. This era established the legendary duo of (the industry’s first superstar) and P. U. Chinnappa .
