Director Ameer's ‘Paruthi Veeran’ was honored with a special mention from the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema (NETPAC) at the 58th Berlin International film festival. Both Paruthi Veeran’s director and the lead actor Karthi had attended the film's international premiere at Berlin. The film was screened five times in the festival and earned rave reviews for its powerful performances and storylines.

This is not the first time; Paruthi Veeran is bestowed with an international award. The movie was adjudged the best film at the 9th OSIAN's-Cinefan film festival for Asia and the Arab world, while its lead actress Priyamani won the Best Actress award in the same festival.

And even for Ameer, international recognitions are not a new affair. His earlier film Ram won three awards at the Cyprus International film festival, for the Best Film and Best Actor (Jeeva) and Best music, a couple of years back. Other recent achievements of Tamil cinema includes last year's ‘Veyyil' directed by Vasanthabalan, which was selected in the Tous les Cinemas du Monde section at the Cannes film festival. And of course, the magnum opus Sivaji’s magic run all around the globe has already become a history.

The other interesting part of all these films were that all these flicks were very well received by the Kerala and Tamil audiences, alike.
