All the people who viewed the video have not mentioned about the movie- Sivagangai Cheemai- starring T K Bhaagavathi, SS Rajendran etc. This was produced as a rival movie to Veerapandia Kattabomman by Sivaji. However the lyrics and dialaques in the movie were penned by Kannadasan. Though the movie flopped in the box office, still music was enjoyable
@pobox101 ...are not. I am not surprised by this stereotyping of Tamils. Even in the North there are dark people but very few in number. So stereotypes favor them. Do you remember the "dirty and dark Tamilian" remark made by a certain American consular officer in Chennai recently? She was re-emphasizing the same racial stereotypes of Tamilians. Prototypical negative characterization of Tamilians and Drvidayans started centuries ago.
@pobox101 Let me continue. Tamil women that you talk about are the screen idols (right?) not the ordinary women who walk the streets in southern India. Of course the former are the stereotypical Tamilian models while the latter are the typical southern women who cannot be claimed to be "good looking" as you would have us believe. Secondly your confusion is centered on percentages rather than gender difference. A good percentage of women are "good looking' while a greater percentage of men.....
@pobox101 You are right. Of course an answer needs to be based on genetics as well. At the same time your question is more or less a generalization. Tamilian prototypes do exist though they are very rare now. I think you are puzzled by not so much the looks but the striking diffidence in colors. Often Tamilians (and for that matter all Dravidayans) are believed to be dark in complexion. Yet MGR, Gemini Ganeshan, Ashokan, Jaya Shankar and Nambiyar of yesteryear were all fair in complexion.

Saroja Devi isn't a Tamilian. She is from Karnataka.
