Kollywood vs Tollywood
Row by row, the person who holds a rank in Kollywood beside the person who holds the same rank in Tollywood, on the same star power score computed inside each industry. Two names on a row hold comparable standing at home. That is all it says: nothing about style or talent, and no box office across industries, where a dollar means different things.

How the two lists were built
- The same score
- Star power: the gross of the films a person led, how that run held up, how many there were, how recent, and how audiences rated them.
- Computed separately
- Each score is a percentile inside its own industry, so Kollywood names are scored against Kollywood and Tollywood names against Tollywood.
- How to read a row
- Because every industry is scored against itself, rank 25 in Kollywood and rank 25 in Tollywood are the same fact about different places: the 25th biggest name at home. Neither number says anything about the other industry.
- Who qualifies
- At least 2 led films, which is what it takes for a percentile to mean anything.
Gross and rating as reported on TMDB and Wikipedia 107 Kollywood names and 206 Tollywood names are ranked, so the lists run out at different lengths.
