After winning in just two categories in the previous year, Tamil films made a complete sweep in the 58th National Film Awards for 2010 with awards in 13 categories, including Best Actor, Best Film and Best Lyricist.
Significantly, seven of these 13 awards were won by films distributed by Sun Pictures. Lyricist Vairamuthu also became the winner of the highest number of National Awards, taking his tally to six with an award for 'Thenmerku Paruvakaatru'.
A little known Tamil film 'Namma Gramam' also bagged two awards, including one for Sukumari as Best Supporting Actress and Indrans Jayan for Best Costume Designer.
'Enthiran' won two awards — Best Special Effects (V Srinivas M Mohan) and Sets (Sabu Cyril) — while Dhanush’s 'Aadukalam', a film based on cockfights in a town, won five for Best Actor (Dhanush), Best Director and Best Screenplay (Vetrimaran), Best Editor (Kishore Te) and Best Choreographer (Dinesh Master).
'Enthiran' was Sun Pictures’ debut in production, while it distributed 'Aadukalam'. Along with honours for high-profile films came recognition for 'Thenmerku Paruvakaatru', a film on the hardships of a widow.
