The most important person for the film industry – the audience –you! Without you 2009 would not have been the same. Without you, we couldn’t have written that sensible cinema finally has a future. Without you, the brave, the confident and the offbeat wouldn’t have found the strength to swim against the tide of commercialism. Without you, good cinema would not have been possible. Without you, this article would never have been the same. For identifying good cinema, for going to theaters to watch, for applauding the sincere and earnest efforts, for saying no to senseless commercials, for sticking to quality – YOU – are one of the most important forces in the Tamil film industry. You are the rudder which decides the direction in which the industry will move – so, continue to choose, watch and applaud sensibly the way you have done in 2009. Thanks for your support!
