Catalogue compiled from a published filmography citing The Hindu and the Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema. Corrections are welcome — 284 entries, and some years and character names will need a second pass.

Listed as a text index rather than a poster wall: licence-clear artwork exists for only a handful of these 284titles, and a page of half-filled slots would say more about the gaps than about the films. Posters will be shown once the archive's own scans are catalogued and cleared.
