There was a time when every other Tamil movie released had a English word in it, then due to the protest for this by some organisations and in-order to give importance to the Tamil language in Tamil movies, the state government announced a tax concession to the Tamil language movie title.
Then came a series of title changes to avail this concession and some of the movie names were either place names or person names which had nothing to do with the initiative to develop Tamil language for which the tax concession was aimed at.
The State government has now announced that it will not henceforth give entertainment tax concession to Tamil movies whose titles bring down the esteem and glory of the language. In a release the government had announced that movies named in Tamil would be given tax concession. But it is seen in the recent past that many movie titles belittled the language. These movies will not be given entertainment tax concession the release added.
