	Why do the southern filmmakers find it difficult in bollywood
		In the recent past, big names from southern Indian cinema like K. Balachander, Bharathi Raja and Bapu who have virtually re-written the codes of Tamil-Talugu couldn't establish themselves as names to reckon with in Mumbai.
		In the 1980s, faithful recycling of Tamil and Telugu flicks by K. Raghavendra Rao and K. Bappiah, most of them featuring Jeetendra in the lead, were the order of the day.
		Big names from Tamil and Telugu cinema like S.S. Vasan, L.V. Prasad and A. Subba Rao made many successful films during the 1950s and 60s.

	Parthale Paravasam Official Site!
		The fact that Madhavan, apart from being a doctor, is a big star and heartthrob serves no purpose in the story and seems to be just a ploy by KB to introduce cameos by a bevy of movie stars like Kamalhassan, Ramya Krishnan and Yuvarani.
		They are more extravagant and youthful and while that in itself is no crime, the midriff-baring, figure-hugging dresses of Simran and Sneha do nothing to enhance Balachander's reputation.

	Thaneer Thaneer (1981)
		Easily one of K Balachander's best films, if not his best, this is a powerful film essentially on the scarcity of water (which continues to date in Tamil Nadu), but also touches upon corruption, Governmental neglect and high-handedness, and how the bureaucracy is taking the people for a ride.
		I have seen this movie and would like to comment on it
