I was fortunate to watch this wonderful Maniratnam's movie in Movie Network last week.

It's too bad we mostly know about Bollywood movie and there are so many this kind of great movie in other regional language

That's True. Many Regional Movies are enriched with very genuine and innovative theme and a tight script, which Bollywood more than often lacs.

If fact, hundreds of Bollywood "Blockbusters" are nothing but remake of such regional films.

I still remember seeing on TV " Nayakan" and Kalyan Ramanam" both in an Indian language I do not even recognise, but had great impact on me as a viewer.

If you get a DVD with subtitle, watch

01. Kakka Kakka (Surya - action - action - action, No Rajnikath style fighting).
02. Azhagi ( Love story).

Language couldn't be the barrier in both the above movies..

Language should never be a barrier when it comes to regional films. Some of the good directors, apart from Mani Ratnam, like Satyan Anthikkad have come up with good movies. For example, Mallu language I dont udnerstand, but can figure out the gist of the story. Some of the films are too realistic.
