A Prospective Study on Usage of Thirukkural in Selected Tamil Films

Abstract

A prospective study on the usage of Thirukkural in selected Tamil films could explore the ways in which this ancient Tamil text has been adapted and integrated into contemporary Tamil cinema. Thirukkural is a classic Tamil text that consists of 1,330 couplets that provide guidance on ethical and moral behavior, and it has had a significant influence on Tamil culture and literature. The study could involve analyzing a sample of Tamil films that incorporate Thirukkural into their dialogue, plot, or themes. The study could explore the ways in which Thirukkural is used in these films, such as whether it is presented directly or indirectly, and how it is integrated into the narrative. The study could also examine the impact of Thirukkural on the audience's reception and understanding of the films. For example, the study could investigate whether the use of Thirukkural enhances the film's cultural significance or moral messaging, or whether it is seen as simply a gimmick to appeal to Tamil audiences. Overall, the study could shed light on the ways in which Thirukkural is used in contemporary Tamil cinema, and how it is perceived by audiences. It could also contribute to a deeper understanding of the influence of Thirukkural on Tamil culture and its continued relevance in modern times.
