Thank the Tamil movie industry, for they will continue to glorify/institutionalize some enduring themes/working philosophies such as:
1] You go to college to make fun of teachers and indulge in rowdism [the tamilian variant of good, clean fun].
2] If you are a rowdy [not an engineer or a doctor], rich and beautiful girls will fall in love with you.
3] After initial resistance, the power of “love” will force your in-laws to accept the marriage and you will inherit their wealth.
4] Honour killing is acceptable, ney, the revered way of preserving the clan heritage.
5] All politicians and policemen are corrupt. [art imitates life !]
6] Faith in God [not the “who am I “variety but the spiritual/spirituous dance with wet clinging yellow saris!!]
“Suspension of disbelief” is an unknown concept to the tamil movie fans who see real life in reel life. Therefore, Kollywood will forever keep the cinema fed and led youth in a dreamy stupor [till they wake up in mid-life and for want of any other option become auto drivers!] and away from mainstream competition.
So, if you are able and willing, Tamil Nadu is the happening place, for Kollywood would spirit away much of the competition. Why worry about reservations and quotas?
