Abstract
Linguists claim that “Tamil” is the most ancient of the languages spoken in the world, and it is language that introduces a group of people to the world. It is accepted by the majority that the race referred to by the word Dravidian refers to the group of people who speak the languages of present-day Andhra, Kannada, Malayalam, Tulu and Tamil. EVR Periyar became the leader after the Neethi Katchi became a secular non-brahmin movement under the leadership of PD Thiarayar and TM Nair. After that he started the magazines such as Viduthalai, Kudiyarasu etc. This movement grew out of the print media and was launched in 1944 by the Dravidar movement. Primary Dravidian ideological principles such as abolition of caste, abolition of superstition, abolition of Brahminism and women's rights were focused on. These are also promoted by the Dravidian followers through the visual media and the film industry. This article deals with how the ideological principles of the ancient Dravidian race were revived by the Tamil cinema.
