Similarly, Karthik Subbaraj’s Mercury holds significance in Tamil cinema history as the second silent film produced after the conclusion of the silent era. The first silent film post that era was Kamal Haasan’s Pesum Padam (also known as Pushpaka Vimana). The silent era, spanning from 1916 to 1934, witnessed the creation of approximately 124 silent films in South India, as documented by film historian Theodore Baskaran.
Following the advent of sound and the onset of the talkies era, Indian cinema largely moved away from silent films until Kamal Haasan’s groundbreaking Pushpaka Vimana. This marked a resurgence of silent cinema in Tamil, with approximately 54 years passing before another silent film was produced. It’s worth noting that there’s a distinction between the silent films of the silent era, where even sound and music were absent, and modern silent films. In contemporary silent films, music is incorporated, leading them to be referred to as ‘sound films.’
