The FMS rights were generating a bounty of income to their buyers. Dividing areas and selling the FMS rights area-wise has become a possibility as well. It is only because of him, Tamil movies with budgets of 100-150 Crores are a reality. Distributors indeed owe a lot to Kamal for bringing in this new trend. Through his model, big starsвЂ™ films started to earn really good returns through FMS sales. He also urged the individual sales of rights rather than bundled rights. After its success in released areas, his next film Saroja was released in US and all across the world and became a success.Д«efore anyone, it was Kamal who understood there are business possibilities for Tamil movies in regions like US, UK, Far East and Middle East. For instance, Venkat PrabhuвЂ™s Chennai - 600028, though was released in Singapore and Malaysia, and was not released in US and Europe. Again good prices are paid for superstarsвЂ™ and successful directorвЂ™s films. Encouraged by this, Tamil films saw their budget increased to multiple crores.ДЄll Tamil films do not enjoy good income from FMS. Movies like Sivaji, Endhiran and Dasavatharam earned few crore rupees only from overseas screening alone. Despite all these, since there are no strict and continuous actions, even now within a week of the release, pirated CDs are freely available in the market.Д¬oming back to the topic, due to increased demand in FMS regions, Tamil films started commanding good prices in overseas sales. Government too has strengthened the law by increasing the punishment for piracy (one year imprisonment under Goondas act). Later, security guards were placed in each release centers along with every print. However, taking advantage of the loopholes in our copyright law again, the people thus arrested could easily come out within a weekвЂ™s time, pay the fine and re-start their business gloriously. They tried not selling overseas rights and controlling in - theater shooting (theater prints) with the help of Police. Due to better clarity, these prints were well received in the piracy market.ДЇew producers have realized that the piracy is channeled from abroad, which is rooting from overseas rights. Later these CDs, which are copied from international trafficking, would invade the market.

During the peak of piracy period, first phase of pirated CDs of a movie would have been shot illegally in theaters and known as вЂTheater printвЂ™.

The videos thus released only were trafficked to India, copied and sold in the piracy markets. Thus, within a few days of theatrical release in that country, they would bring out the DVD of the movie, using the DVD rights. This is the turning point for Tamil films as their international rights, which were not so great until then, started to grow significantly.ДЄn FMS buyer would also buy satellite and video rights as a package.

During the peak of ethnic clashes in Srilanka, Tamilians from there started migrating across the globe. As the population and migrated workforce constantly (but slowly) raised the global demand for Tamil movies, the common release date was adopted.

Those days, movies were released in these three countries only after a few days of local release date. Earlier, it was mainly Malaysia, Singapore and Srilanka as the Tamil population was higher only in these three nations. The courage to produce a movie from 25 Crores to even 150 Crores like Endiran could not be mustered counting only the local market. FMS, the business for Foreign, Malaysia and Singapore is a sector that produces admirable income for Tamil films.
