These films actualize region as a cinematic imaginary through its authenticity markers – caste/ist practices explicitly, which earlier films constructed as a ‘trope’. The paper uses the concept of Heterotopias to analyse the recurrence of spectacle spaces in the construction of Madurai, and the production of caste in contemporary films. In this pursuit, it interrogates the implications of such spatial discourses. Spectacle spaces: Production of caste in recent Tamil films To foreground the study of caste in Tamil films and to link it with the rise of ‘caste- gestapo’ networks that execute honour killings and murders as a reaction to ‘inter-caste love dramas’ in Tamil Nadu,1 let me narrate a political incident that occurred in Tamil Nadu – that of the formation of a socio-political movement against Dalit assertion in December 2012.

ISSN 1567-214X. Keywords: Celebrity, Endorsement, Advertising, Tamil Cinema, Emotional Appeal. Abstract: Advertising industries have executed various techniques in persuading customers to increase constructive responses about their products and services. Celebrity endorsement, one such popular advertising technique employed in influencing the customers. The construction of Brand or Product promotion that engages a popular personality using the reputation of the Brand, Product, or service is known as celebrity endorsement. That is, a celebrity endorsement is a promotional approach of a brand or product recommended by the famous person in the society to the customers or buyers.

  • Spoofs and the Politics of the Film Image's Ontology in Tamil Cinema
    Spoofs and the Politics of the Film Image’s Ontology in Tamil Cinema * Constantine V. Nakassis All Film Spoofs, No Spoof Films Commercial Tamil cinema has long been a travesty of itself, its textuality woven from so many citational allusions, homages, and self-parodies; and yet, until recently there was no such recognized genre of the spoof film, only “comedy tracks” trailing in the shadows of the grandiose hero and his more serious narrative, parodying his potent image here and there, most often through scenes of comically inverted or failed heroism (Nakassis 2010:209–221). In 2010, this was seen to have changed, with the release of a surfeit of spoof films—Venkat Prabhu’s Goa, Simbudevan’s Irumbu Kottai Mirattu Singam, and, most importantly for this paper, C. S. Amudhan’s aptly titled Thamizh Padam, or ‘Tamil Movie.’1 And then of course, there was that unwitting spoof hero, the self-proclaimed “Power Star,” Dr. S. Srinivasan, who entered the scene in 2011 with his unbel- ievably absurd, yet ambiguously self-serious, film (Lathika) and public persona (figure 1).2 Industry insiders and film enthusiasts often explain this seeming par- adox that Tamil cinema is all spoof with no spoofs by pointing to the self- seriousness of the industry—that is, that it can’t take a joke; or alter- natively by pointing to its cultural and historical particularity—that is, that “spoofs” are a foreign genre. But what is so notable is that the ind- ustry has long made jokes at its own expense. Think, for example, of Nagesh’s memorable comedy track from Sridhar’s classic 1964 romantic comedy Kadhalikka Neeramillai (‘No Time for Love’), which turns on Nagesh’s nascent film production: a parody of the film producer, Nagesh * Constantine V.

  • Desire, Youth, and Realism in Tamil Cinema
    05.JLIN.17.1_077-104.qxd 3/29/07 4:34 PM Page 77 I Constantine V. Nakassis UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA I Melanie A. Dean UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA Desire, Youth, and Realism in Tamil Cinema This article first examines representations of women’s desire in Tamil cinema, from highly implicit and non-transgressive representations of desire in an older movie to lin- guistically explicit and transgressive representations of desire in a recent hit movie. We then examine how such contemporary filmic representations are related to what we call a mode of realist spectatorship, and how this mode of spectatorship is linked to a partic- ular social group (male youth) and to film form. We argue that the emergence of this mode of spectatorship, the films associated with it, and their connection to male youth are due to changes in the film market and to differential socialization by generation. Finally, we argue for realism in film as holding when film form and spectatorship are highly calibrated in the following way: some set of filmic representations are evaluated by viewers and filmmakers through culturally mediated classifications of “real” and “unreal” which are operationalized truth-functionally in events of evaluation; such rep- resentations presuppose these classifications, and by virtue of regular presupposition can entail an experience of “reality” for viewers. [anthropology of the media, realism, spectatorship, Indian cinema, Tamil Nadu] Introduction ndian cinema is famously popular in India, and this is no truer than in Tamil Nadu, India where the Tamil film industry rivals Hindi cinema in output, I(arguably) in quality, and in fan devotion.1 Most work on Tamil cinema empha- sizes either its connection with politics (Hardgrave 1973; Pandian 1992), its escapist utopian content (Dickey 1993, 1995), or, more recently, its relationship to the middle classes and the nation (Prasad 1998).

  • A Critical Analysis of Predominant Colours in the Movie Pudhupettai
    International Journal of Computer Sciences and Engineering Open Access Review Paper Vol.-6, Issue-12, Dec 2018 E-ISSN: 2347-2693 A Critical Analysis of Predominant Colours in the Movie Pudhupettai Chandra Mouly V1*, Nandhini C2 1Dept. of Visual Comm, Vels Institute of Science, Technology and Advanced Studies (VISTAS), Chennai 2Dept. of Comm, Madras Christian College, Chennai *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Available online at: www.ijcseonline.org Accepted: 26/Dec/2018: Published: 31/Dec/2018 Abstract: This research papera aimed to anylse the predominant colors like red, blue, and green used in the newly released movie named ‘Pudhupettai’. Also, this research examines the use of red and green colour lightings in the movie Pudhupettai to expose the scene mood and the character’ state of mind with reference to colour psychology in movies. Colour has always been one of the nonverbal languages in communication. Story telling has been followed around the world for ages in various forms including the traditional and new media. Films have paved a massive way among the audience to attain exposure in various platforms. The aim of the directors in general would be making the scene clearer and more realistic to watch and to attract numerous viewers on the stand. Hence, this explores the possibilities of such used emotions using the colours and the pattern of character discourse according to the state of mind. Green again is used in both negative and positive terms to depict the character’s start of mind. Green is unique in the sense that it is the quintessential colour of nature, yet green light can also make a place look eerie or portray illness.
