  Sure BC...you are right on the account that "Kannathil Muthamittan" is a great film..probably the BEST work of that amazing craftsman called ManiRatnam. But somehow I cant agree with you that there arent many Malayalam movies of that caliber. Oh, there are scores of them, believe me. How come you have forgotten Oru Vadakkan Veeragadha or Manichitrathanzhu. They maynot have dealt with "sensitive" issues, but remain CLASSICS in their own right. Also a cross comparison across the state border seems futile in cinema, precisely since the cultural differences that exist are simply vast. I'm not really sure whether the Malayalee would have accepted "kannathil muthamittan" if it were in malayalam. He would, most probably prefer to see it any day in Tamil.

  the story of mani rathnam's movie with shalini and madhavan (i forgot the name) was copied from a malayalee.

  BC, tamil movies are good, but have they ever made such great movies as "kireedam," "raavanaprabhu" "narasimham", "thenkasipattanam", "NADODIKATTU, ETC. WE'RE BOTH EVEN, AND WE'RE THE BEST IN INDIA. they have the best action, and we have the best comedy!

  That is SO not true. I mean, nothing against Tamil movies, but has any Tamil filmmaker been able to match Kerala's geniuses like Adoor Gopalakrishnan? No. Kannathil Muthamittal is a great movie and it deals with a very touching, serious topic but our filmmakers have made much deeper and more thought-provoking films.
