[edit] Ilaiyaraaja's music in Malayalam films

Dear Wikipedians, The Malayalam film albums listed in the Ilaiyaraaja article section seems like a long list. Whether articles about these films exist on Wikipedia is also unknown. Could someone please review the Malayalam film albums listed here, discard non-notable entries and tidy it up in general? Thank you. AppleJuggler 11:47, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guru

Some sources I checked mention Guru (1993 Mohanlal movie) as India's official Oscar nomination for that year. Could somebody who actually remembers the event confirm it and add the info to the article? Thanks!--thunderboltz^(Deepu) 14:45, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

More 1997 than 1993. I have no idea whether it was nominated though.

[edit] Doubts on NPOV

The movies in current period is largely nonsensical comedies primarily aiming at large scale entertainment without much artistic message. These movies include Meesamadhavan (2002) by Lal Jose and Kunjikkoonan directed by Sasi Shankar (2002).

How does the author decide that the movie is nonsensical comedy without artisitc message..The second line is it necessary. It kinda creates a perhaps unintentional implication that the author is targetting Dileep movies.!

Well, most films with Dileep in the leading roles are basically nonsensical comedy. Most critics would agree with this statement. Also, comparing to the comedic films of the 80s, the films in the 90s and 2000s are more childish.

well..i believe the term you are looking for is slapstick comedy...and without any citations, i dont think its a great idea to comment on subjective issues.. Rakes 08:07, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
