  9. Nagavally portion in manichithrathaazhu was done by tamil artist Durga not Jayageetha.......another trivia is ,serial actress Sangeetha Mohan beautifully dubbed for Renuka Menon in film Nammal......also i think the author made a typing error in Devis work for kavyamadhavan...it is obviously not chandupottu...

  16. I’m From Tamil Nadu, I like Malayalam Movies very much, in contrast I heard many Malayalam people like VIJAY, AJITH, SURYA, ALLU ARJUN. Tollywood is completely opposite to molly wood, whereas kolly wood is mixture of both the tolly wood and molly wood. Movies Made by Malayalam Industries are heart warming and life oriented, where you can at least learn something for your Life. I wish People from Malayalam film industry release their movies in Tamil with subtitles so that it will reach wider audience. Because artistic work should reach more people in the world. I used to read all the latest Kerala News in Malayalam from this site, check it , would be useful.
