Kamal's 'Virumandi' has just won the 'Best Asian Film' Award at Puchon International Fantastic film festival (PiFan) in South Korea. Its a great success of both Kamal and Ilaiyaraja. As a director and actor, kamal has got a wonderful victory. Its a step to OSCAR. For Maestro, its another feather on his crown.

  I would like to know what the other 18 movies that competed were?
  
  Does anyone here know of the 'other Indian movie' Raghu Romeo?
  
  If this movie competed with the best China and Japan had to offer and still won, then I am proud.
  
  It's good to see 'good' Indian cinema finally getting the world recognition it deserves.

  Friends,
  
  'VirumaaNdi' has been dubbed in Telugu as 'Pothuraaju', with SPB singing and speaking for Kamal. They are said to have struggled a lot to locate a local deity similar to (and rhyming with!!) 'viru viru maaNdi virumaaNdi'. ('Jai Jai Jai Jai Pothuraaju', the song goes!)Swarnalatha and Sujatha have replaced Shreya Ghoshal. Most songs have been shortened to be exactly in line with what appears on screen. Both 'annalakshmi kaNNasachchaa' and 'SaNdiyarE! SaNdiyarE!' are in the female voice (Swarnalatha). All the songs are available in Musicindiaonline. You may like to compare & contrast!
  
  Only one version of 'andha kaaNdaamaNi Osa..' is available in this site and the professional wailing short song by Paravai Muniamma 'maada veLakkE, magaraasiyE, maNNOda pOniyE' is not to be found! I am sure they are too indispensable to be edited from the film!
