As a result, many studios and related industries started commencing in and around Trivandrum. The studios Merryland got opened in 1951 and Chithranjali in 1980s. Leading firms like Prasad Film Laboratoried expanded their operations to Trivandrum also.

With the commencing of animation companies like Toonz India Ltd and Tata Elxsi Limited, the film industry further boomed up. The Kinfra Film and Video Park is located near Technopark and is one of the most advanced film and animation production facilities in India. The International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) is held in November every year and is acknowledged as one of the leading such events in India.
