Tamil cinema, colloquially known as Kollywood, is one of India's most prolific film industries. While often discussed in the context of music and melodrama, its foundational DNA is deeply rooted in the 19th and early 20th-century Tamil theatre traditions—specifically Boy’s Company dramas, Surabhi companies, and urban Parsi theatre adaptations. This paper argues that contemporary Tamil films are not merely influenced by theatre but are direct formal descendants of it.
