Tamil Movies Released In 1957

Tamil cinema, commonly referred to as Kollywood, boasts a compelling history that spans more than a century. This narrative of evolution mirrors the cultural, social, and technological shifts within the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Let’s explore the origins and progression of Tamil movies and the list of Tamil Movies Released in 1957.

Commencing in the Late 19th Century

The inception of Tamil cinema dates back to the late 19th century when the Lumière brothers unveiled their Cinématographe invention in Paris. The allure of moving images captivated people globally, swiftly reaching the shores of India.

The inaugural screening of a motion picture in India is commonly credited to Lumière’s Cinématographe, occurring in Bombay (now Mumbai) on July 7, 1896. Tamil Nadu promptly embraced this cinematic revolution. In 1897, R. Venkiah, a photographer based in Madras, established the inaugural makeshift cinema hall, recognized as the ‘Electric Theatre,’ where short films enthralled the public.
