They are confident enough to face any hostility with courage. Particularly, many distinct features can be seen among the fisherfolk with literary and artistic appreciation.

This study is intended to identify the dialect variation of fisherman/unique jargons of fisherman, distinct features of a fisherfolk as depicted in the Tamil films and to demonstrate the obstacles, the background of the challenges faced by them, and to find out the reasons for the portrayal of them in Tamil cinema and the solutions for them. Tamil films which reflect the particular society have been used as the primary data of this study and film criticisms, books, research books, articles, and research articles related to the theme of this study has been employed as secondary data.
