If the high literacy levels in Kerala are a sign of the Malayalees quest for knowledge and awareness, "Malayalam Cinema" is a mirror to his superior taste, cultural finesse and class. Malayalam movies have traditionally had a 'stand apart' quality about them in comparison with other Indian language movies, with Bengali movies having some similarity. Realism has been the cornerstone of Malayalam cinema, realism that is all pervasive and evident in every aspect of the movie, from the selection of the theme, earthy dialogs, real life situations and non- contrived screen play, natural portrayal of characters and humour that blends with the situation. It is no wonder that these masterpieces made on a shoe string budget draw rave reviews and critical acclaim in film festivals from Cannes to Berlin. Closer home a great compliment to Malayalam Cinema comes from none other than a man considered the most accomplished actor in contemporary Indian cinema, Kamal Hassan loves to recall his association with Malayalam films during the early part of his career, an association which according to him helped hone his talents and understand films better, could there be a better compliment.
