Thamizh Padam

Thamizh Padam is a 2010 Indian Tamil-language parody film written and directed by C. S. Amudhan in his directorial debut.

The film stars Shiva and Disha Pandey, and was distributed by Dhayanidhi Alagiri under the banner Cloud Nine Movies.

Composed by Kannan, with cinematography by Nirav Shah and editing by T. S. Suresh, the film released on 29 January 2010 to critical acclaim and became a commercial success at the box office.

The film parodies contemporary commercial films and actors in Tamil cinema, mocking stereotypical scenes, and explores social evils like female infanticide, poverty, violence against women, blind devotion for actors, among others.

Set in an Indian village where male infanticide is predominant, the film follows a male infant who is rescued by an old woman from being killed, and the challenges he faces at every stage of life as he navigates love and life.
