Hollywood has been the greatest entertainer in the world of humans till date. Hollywood has provided the world a chance to see the unbelievable. In India, cinema is nearly a part of everyone's life. Each state has its own cine world naming them Bollywood, Kollywood, Tollywood etc... The Tamil Cinema Industry, otherwise known as the Kollywood, has its own mannerism and has a great fan base all over the world. But there is a huge difference among these cine industries. Few would have known but their are many who have no idea about it!
The Difference...
Hollywood, a world of healthy producers and consummate directors, is one among the largest earning department. The term Magnificent and Grand is a companion to its pronunciation. Hollywood had yielded megaphones like Jurassic Park, Matrix, Independence day etc... The industry has also delivered classics like The Godfather and emotional pictures like Forest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, etc... The industry has never failed to satisfy its audience and had never seen drought of new creations. The concept of Matrix was never expected and the animation of the Lord of the Rings can never be said "Incredulous". And to mention about its workers, the actors like Toma Hanks, Nicholas Cage can even make a slow movie a very interesting one. But what about Kollywood??
Kollywood is also one big industry in India and holds some credit for popularizing Indian films among the audience in the rest of the world. The Kollywood is not a base with heavy producers who dare to invest money on megaphones. The producers insist only on certain stereotypical movies popularly kown as the "Masala movies". The reason lies in the profit those movies yield. Kollywood is ruled by Heroism, wherein a hero has a huge fan base and he does movies only to satisfy their fans. Those movies have a song (a "Kuthu" song - would make you dance for sure), a sentiment, a heroine and a climax with the villain. The people have now realized this but they heroes don't. Vijay, an actor in Kollywood in one such bad example and is the top among actors who lead kollywood to pits. But there are movies like Anbe Sivam, Mozhi that can be compared to top class emotionals. But there are actors who have taken Kollywood to heights like Ajith Kumar, Kamal Hassan and Rajinikanth. Kamal Hassan had done a magnum opus "Dasavatharam" . The movie was liked by Jackie and by the world to. Thanks to Ajith Kumar, who proved the world that India can do Stylish and Magnificent movies though his "Billa". Billa ranks the second most highest grosser of Indian cinemas in the world next to Sivaji. I do not want to mention about Sivaji, because it was a masala movie. The Indian Superstar Rajinikanth is now in his work in delivering a Sci-fi movie named "Robot". This is something new to cinema as Indian movies haven't seen one in its long history. Hope the trend has been sent by these Artists and its with the rest to groom it more.
Thus there is a huge difference between the Hollywood and the Kollywood mainly in its presentation level, but not not to be forgotten that Hollywood still stands tall. But it isn't deniable that Kollywood may grow into a tough competitor to the Hollywood, may not be now but in the future...

I think kollywood will never ever even come closer to Hollywood.....not even in dreams....forget in the future
Lol some Tamil movies music can they even come near..
Dr Mustaque, where ever money is not involved(sci-fi,period,action,animation) i think Kollywood has done well and some of our music,lyrics,dialogues,comedy,acting performances,drama are as good or better than hollywood, kamal alone would have won 2-3 oscars, ar-rahman has already won 2, and stories from our land... you can never get in hollywood. what kollywood has done with limited audience it has pretty good i would say. Recently, Bahubali has reached a decent level in period-action-drama film, be balanced? how many tamil movies have you watched.
Indian best actor and dancer is a Ilayathalapathy Vijay only,he is king of box office.(Otha fucking bastred Mindspeaks)
