Tamil Matter Padam =link= Jun 2026
The pride in Tamil, or "Tamil Matter Padam," if it translates to a sense of pride and value in Tamil, is well-justified. The language has a rich collection of literary works that are studied and revered not only in India but around the world. The Tamil script, one of the oldest in India, has influenced several other scripts.
Films with explicit dialogue, sexual themes, or high violence are granted an "A" (Adults Only) certificate, restricting theater entry to individuals aged 18 and older.
Upon its release on January 29, 2010, Thamizh Padam opened to critical acclaim. The blogosphere erupted with praise, with one reviewer calling it “a laugh riot” and noting that even viewers who did not understand all the context would find it hilarious. Another critic highlighted that “none of the spoofs are boring or repetitive in nature” and that actor Shiva’s expressions and timing were “certainly worth mentioning”. Sify.com labeled the film a “rollicking comedy” with particular praise for Shiva’s performance and the director’s script and dialogues.
