Sri Thenandal Films is an Indian film production and distribution company based in Chennai. The company was founded in 1976 by Rama Narayanan. They have produced, released and distributed films across several regional film industries in India.
Rama Narayanan set up Sri Thenandal Films in 1976 in Chennai, and the studio has gone on to distribute over 750 films across India.
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Sri Thenandal Films produced and distributed a series of devotional films directed by Rama Narayanan. The quick spate of releases titled after goddesses such as Palayathu Amman (2000), Nageswari (2001), Kottai Mariamman (2001) and Annai Kaligambal (2003), saw the studio garner an image of focussing solely on Hindu devotional subjects.
In the 2010s, Murali Ramaswamy made a decision to actively purchase and distribute horror films, and experienced immediate success after Aranmanai (2014), Kanchana 2 (2015), Demonte Colony (2015) and Maya (2015) all became profitable ventures. The success of the studio's investment in that particular genre prompted them to finance smaller budget horror films including Strawberry (2015) and Jackson Durai (2016), in attempt to capitalise on the popularity of the genre across Tamil Nadu.
The studio also ventured into the production of stage plays in 2015, and financed Chillu, a futuristic science fiction play, performed in Chennai.
The following films are a list of films which were distributed by Sri Thenandal Films throughout Tamil Nadu, apart from their own productions:
