WATCH: Tamil cinema in 2024: Dull first half, star-studded second half?
Tamil cinema is facing a slowdown in 2024, with a lack of successful star-vehicles and mid-budget films with good content.
Industry insiders, including actors, producers and theatre owners, speak about the delays in the production of these big-budget films and discuss whether the growing popularity of Malayalam films in Tamil Nadu has affected the performance of Tamil films.
They also explore whether the trend of re-releases during this period has benefited theatres. With several star-studded films such as ‘Indian 2’, ‘Kanguva’, ‘Thangalan’, ‘Greatest of All Time’ and ‘Vettaiyaan’ scheduled to release later this year, the key question is whether there will be an adrenaline-pumping revival in the second half of 2024.
