The 58th Berlin Film Festival which concluded on Saturday made a special reference to the Parutheeverran. The Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema, also known as NETPAC, made a special reference about the film stating that the film was 2007 Tamil box-office hit.

According to Ameer, the film's director, the Tamil film had evoked a very enthusiastic response from German and European film enthusiasts when the film was screened at the International Forum of Young Cinema. Tamil cinema's new discovery Karthi, whose debut performance in the film earned him wide acclaim at home and abroad, Ameer said.

The three-member NETPAC jury, which included Indian film critic Meenakshi Shedde, gave the organisation's main prize to "United Army" by Japanese director Wakamatsu Koji.

The film paints a critical yet emphatic picture of the militant student movement of the 1960s that spawned one of the most violent terrorist groups ever.

It also received the prize of International Confederation of Art film Theatres (CIAE).

This year's prizes of the International Confederation of Film Journalists went to the Mexican entry 'Lake Tahoe' by Fernando Eimbcke, Israeli film 'Shahida-Brides of Allah' by Natalie Assouline which was shown in the Forum programme and 'Rusalka' (Mermaid) by Anna Melikian, a Russian entry in the Panorama section
