  Alai Payuthey is the best
  
  However Saathiya can only entertain the Hindi audiences .. alai payuthey was really realistic.. not much glamour.. but vivek oberoi is so cute along with rani oh rani mukherjeee
  if shalini was still acting .. i would be so happy

  I hear this raving comments from most of the Srilankan Tamils of how they speak the pure Tamil and how the have preserved the culture of Tamil. Now they also claim that they had come to Srilanka before the Singhalese did so, as far as they are concerned they have been there for 2000 years.
  Now my question is - What did they do all that 2000 years there? Why did they not develop any Tamil literature? What did they do to contribute to the Tamil language? There exists no Srilankan Tamil culture – if some ignorant Singhalese asks them about Tamil culture the proud Eelam nationalist never fail to point out Madurai, Sangam, Cholas & Pandyas – These are the cultures of Tamilians in India – How about Srilanka? It’s rather sad that they shamelessly indulge in culture robbery.
  Even in modern times why don't they have movies for themselves - why should they watch Indian-Tamil movies? What ever said & done at the end of the day - Indians are different from the Srilankan Tamils in every sense.
  After all being a Srilankan Tamil if they have all this nationalist feeling for Eelam being an Indian-Tamil there is no doubt they will be a hard die Indian nationalist.
  Sri Lankan Tamils will not be accepted socially in India. The fact is that they get discriminated in Tamil Nadu perhaps because Sri Lankan Tamils stand in the bottom of the hierarchy system in India?
  So, I really do not understand why don’t they have a little pride for themselves and as a first step stop watching any Indian movies?

  alai payuthe is the best. saathiya is not very realistic and is only more commercialised. i heard that rani mukherjee initially did not agree to sign mani ratnam's movie because his dil se was not commercially succesful. i hope she realises that she got recognition because of saathiya, which is originally mani ratnam's movie.

  Alai Payuthe is much better, especially, in terms of acting. Shalini fitted the role superbly. She was great and so was Madhavan. Alai Payuthe is simply incomparable.

  Alaipayuthey is the best!! Vivek Oberoi is no match to madhavan when it comes to acting..!! Also in Hindi, the lead pair didn't have the chemistry that Maddy and Shalini had in Alaipayuthey! rani, though she did an amazing job, still doesn't outbeat Shalini in the portrayal of the female lead! The Hindi version didn't have the freshness of the tamil one! also, the hindi version was without much entertainment and comedy which the tamil version had.. All in all,
  
  Alaipayuthey >>>>>>> Saathiya

  According to this roomful of Tamils suffering from an inferiority complex to Hindi films, Maniratnam should stop trying to make Hindi films altogether - considering that Saathiya was a project commissioned and initiated by Maniratnam.
  
  For the record, I loved both films.
