Although I don't understand Tamil, I have seen some Tamil films while changing buttons in my remote. Their costumes are down to earth, very natural. And most of the movies set at village back ground all characters adorn the same costumes and looks great and natural in the frame. Whereas our Hindi Films all characters adorn western clothes, copying western movies, ideas to do business abroad. They should take their story to villages and bring in true to life stories. In general Southern movies looks far ahead in Technical superiority. Great camera work, music, art, choreography. Good. Keep it up. Let all indians enjoy and review based on their quality and not quantity / language. Keep your mind open guys.

Hindi movies are made in mind keeping national and international viewers. Tamil movies are made keeping in mind the fact that 70% of TN still reside in villages. Since entire India is very recently urbanising Bollywood kinda seems fake but all of us want t o live in cities right now ?

For ur info., tamil movies are lately catching up eyes of other races like thais, malays (both Malaysia and Indonesia)and chinese in South East Asia..
1) Even Indonesians know who is Vikram, how old is he, his movies, and his kids..
2)Witnessed indonesian ladies singing number of tamil "dangdut-typed" song from the movie dishyum..
3) More of chinese and malays prefer watching Rajni's movies..
4) Even our famous malaysian football defender-captain name is Rajnikanth.
5) Among hindi movies, only SRK's runs well here..
6) The rest of hindi movies with 20 ~ 30 in each show..

very biased statement...have you livedin cities like Mumbai or Delhi?? If not go there and see what dress they were... hindi movies normall use the costumes based on the story line...if a movie is supposed to based on life in NewYork, then you should use the similar costume... i have seen both good and bad movies in almost all languages.. you name a language i can tell you both end i.e, good and bad. And if you want to generalise - i would rate hollywood first, then bollywood, then bengali , mallu and then tamil movies...

look at this review...http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/apr/02ssvyapari.htm
this is exactly whati wanted to say...you get good movies in all the languages...and let us admit, we have some pref....like me, i know hindi, english, kannada well - hence i can understand these movies really well.. for Tamil,Telugu and Mallu i depend on my friends/reviews...even though i enjoy the good movies there, i dont undrestand every dialogue as i dont know the language perfect... it matters a lot.. you enjoy it fully only when you understand every dialogue....i hope these kind of biased fights should stop...instead, we should help each other in recommending good movies....

Anil, Its natural for people like you who do not know, Mustache is MANLY. I know you are not used to be around Men. You know that mustache is not your kind. I again repeat, Mustache is Manly. Go and attend some private classes to know what is manly. ok? Good Luck for your gender education.
Which part of your body is itching if Tamil Actors have Mustache?

Wat u r crazy? The success rate in tamil film industry is more than that telugu ..wake up dude :-).. Get me facts dude.. Tamil is best set industry in films
"Telugu is the second-largest spoken language in India after Hindi. Telugu movie industry is based in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. Currently Telugu Film Industry is the largest producer of films in India ( Tollywood has overtaken Bollywood ). The total number of movies made in Tollywood in year 2006 is 243, followed by Bollywood (223 Movies) and Tamil Film Industry ( 160 Movies )"
NOt only more telugu movies are made but they are also more numerous than Tamilians

If we go by the number of commercial movies made in a year, then I agree with Bindaas Boy, that telugu movie industry is biggest in India. (bigger than hindi cinema also).
RE:Tamil films
by Dharm on Apr 02, 2007 08:46 PM Permalink
Most telugu movies are copied either from hindi or tamil. Tamil industry is older than telugu industry. No of hits is more in tamil than in Telugu or kannada..

Stop the war guys . both Tamil and Telugu look quite similar ... It doesn't matter how may movies your produce .. what's the quality of your movie is important, both industries produce lots of movies nowdays .. but story .. is missing .. only heavy violence and sex masala is the major content of the newer movie

This is India's problem..... First People fight for their Language/State(Which they consider as mother land), rather than for India.
You live in Mumbai or MahabaliPuram, this complicated country is tough to Change.
"We built India, but not Indians". Probably Yes, Tamilians, Kannadigas Mallus etc

All this while India Board of Cinema fail to benchmark movie industries.. The body ranks each of these industries by quantity of movies produce.. By right, they should focus on the quality and also gross profit...
Bollywood : meant to watch for fun.. Most of the storyline similar.. Hardly enjoy waatching them except a few good movies like lagaan, humraaz, dhoom 1 & 2, don 2, kisna and krish..
Tollywood : realising its potential market is growing rapidly with more followings from canada and USA (even more response compared with hindi movies)
Kollywood : In a few years time will surpass bollywood with number of talented faces upfront the titans like rajini and kamal.. Among them are surya, vikram, ajith (huge overseas fans), madhavan, jeeva, bharath, arya, shimbu and jayam ravi.. Not sure about vijay to replace rajini, who is probably the last tamil superstar..
guys, i have another 2 hour work.. plz dont stop commenting.. Now lets talk about our OLD aged actors and teen aged actress.. its ok Bindas & Rock & sumit?
