广受欢迎的南印度电影是一种高度戏剧性的娱乐形式，围绕着不太可能的命运曲折展开，背景设定在夸张的地点，充满了歌曲、舞蹈和打斗场面。它主要是由穷人赞助的，通常会受到评论家的不屑一顾，他们认为它的巨大人气要么令人困惑，要么表明观众道德和智力的降低。更让许多观察者困惑的是，电影在国家和国家政治中的关键作用。
Popular south Indian cinema is a highly melodramatic entertainment form, plotted around improbable twists of fate and set in exaggerated locales, filled with songs, dances, and fight scenes. Patronized primarily by the poor, it is typically dismissed by critics, who find its vast popularity either bemusing or indicative of viewers moral and intellectual degradation. Even more confounding for many observers has been cinema's critical role in state and national politics.
