History

Initially, we had a section named "Kollywood Masala" under the Sun TV Tamil Channel. One fine day, our Channel Moderator Aahaana had shared her wish to see all four cinema industries being discussed under one section. This was the starting point, after which we asked many members' opinion on it. With the help of smlaksh, the two of us PMed many South Indian members throughout the forum, and conducted votings session for name suggestions. Hence came the name, Sensational South, which was the brainchild of one of our golden members Sue_Nair!

Then during July, 2010, we got our section ⭐️, thanks to our admin , Priya Nair! Though many members were not aware of the section, with the help of people like:

aishi.muffin, Additi_sjfan, ammoos, anjkhoney, Caryn, daffodils.dudu, Honeydaisy, HoneyLimeUsha, Kavya..., KYPH_AK, malluangel, Naina2127, petticoat, Pulwasha, Sandz., supercool3, x.sunanya.x, -Zunni-

we managed to run a fun filled forum. In the meantime, we also placed a request to our higher heads to have the section moved to the homepage, and our request has been granted. Hence, we wish to express our gratitude to the following DTs:

gk_09, Nadii, Jeyshree, *Shruti*, priya_nair and, Vijay

for their help in moving the section!

Now that we have an easier means of finding this section, we welcome all the South Indian Movie followers to join the section and have a blast! Furthermore, we are pleased to inform that the Chaska Meter has been added to our section, and the hyperlinks to all the South Indian Celebrity Profiles found on India-forums.com have been provided on the following thread:
