Last updated

Tamil cinema is a part of Indian cinema based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The films are made primarily in the Tamil language. Chintamani (1937) and Haridas (1944) are landmark films from the early stages of Tamil cinema. Chintamani was the first major box office success, while Haridas is noted for its significant impact and long theatrical run, reflecting industry's development before its formal establishment post-independence. This ranking lists the highest-grossing Tamil films produced by Tamil cinema, based on conservative global box office estimates as reported by organizations classified as green by Wikipedia. [a] The figures are not adjusted for inflation. However, there is no official tracking of figures, and sources publishing data are frequently pressured to increase their estimates. [1] [2]
