Hello guys! This is the first full spoof movie in Tamil cinema ( at least to my knowledge). The movie revolves around Shiva (Shiva) a local boy who is raised by his grandmother.He wants to be big in life but he falls in love with Priya (Disha Pandey) who is the daughter of a big millionaire in the city. Meanwhile a big don 'D' is terrorizing the city. Then one by one 'D's top henchmen were being killed by an unknown person.Meanwhile (again) Shiva goes to 'Cinemapatti' (which is his birth place) to search and find his parents. And then suddenly they reveal Shiva's true identity.

This film made me laugh like a hyena. OK that wasn't the best example but this movie will sure make you have a smile on your face. The best part of the movie comes when Shiva and his three friends are together. You will never guess who 'D' is and you will be shocked when you find out. So worth a watch. If you had followed all the movies which are spoofed in this you would love it.

The spoof movie genre is under-represented in Tamil cinema.

From the opening scene, to the climax twist, it's very evident that the director/writers have analyzed Tamil cinema with a fine toothed comb. Some references to movies are quite direct, others very subtle. Some older ones flew right over my head. The movie is a laugh riot, and represents several things wrong with Tamil cinema.

Must watch for Tamil cinema fans!

The Thamizh Padam is a good starting point if you want to see a spoof of all tropes and stereotypes of Tamil language films (Kollywood). What's not there to make fun of? With oversized heroic arcs in films and over dramatised trivia in cliched characterisations, we cannot help but beg directors to make different movies.

A lot of "important" people were very offended that this film was made. This shows the success of the film in capturing the very essence of a spoof comedy. Quite a few aspects of archaic filmmaking techniques were brutally trolled at times, giving a wake up call to film makers. I have a feeling that this film is more responsible for Kollywood's new batch of fresh films coming out in the last decade. This film would have helped more than any filmmaking academy on what "not to make".

The film follows along a main lead, complete with the introduction song. At times, the portrayal even questions all sections of the society irking quite a few.. Overall, the nonstop comedy and the hilarious setups make for a comfortable viewing. This is for you if want a comedy spoof that questions all pointless scenes in Tamil films.

The director was teased all unlogical scenes in tamil movie in the comedy way. So awesome
