      Perfectly Rated. For me Chennai is better than banglore because of The Beaches and Cinema. But banglore is better with Climate and Living standard.
      Chennai surely not underrated and i don't know why people think that. In South chennai and banglore is the most famous cities and Movies and All romanticized these cities More than Hyderbad or kochi. In reality all these 4 cuties from from states have Their own unique quality. So definitely chennai is not underrated, it is perfectly rated or in some case it is overrated.

      I think unlike other states in India, Tamil Nadu and Kerala have a different history bereft of religious violence for the most part; also the linguistic identity of a Tamilian or a Keralite is a very strong common base before any other indentity-differences come up. Not saying its perfect, but yeah, its true.

    I appreciate your view. You missed one of the most important uniqueness of Chennai - it's urban forest. "The Guindy National Park".

"The Guidy National Park - Snake Park - Children's Park and the nearby Birla Planetarium - Gandhi Mandapam" a perfect budget-friendly weekend getaway. Also, Vandaloor Zoo - the oldest and largest zoological park in India. Unfortunately, these two Landmarks are the most underrated places within Chennai.

      Further, it is a great misnomer that non-Hindi languages of India are referred to as 'regional languages', vis-a-vis Hindi. It is a misnomer because Hindi too is a regional language; it has the status of being the mother-tongue' in *specific **_regions_** of India, and not all across India.*

    My mother tongue is Tamil but I'm from Bengaluru. Grew up in both Mysuru and Bengaluru my entire life.
    I've visited Tamil Nadu many, many times and the people of Tamil Nadu (as well as Kerala) are so distinct, unique with strong values, identity, work-ethic that I think a lot of other Indians should learn from. The reason why Chennai and Tamil Nadu in general has grown and developed equitably is because of the people-centric policies of the State government to put the interests, welfare and the growth of its people first eg. the 2-language policy (Tamil + English). Its the only state that has had the political will across party-lines to stand-up for its linguistic rights for decades.
    Other states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal have spoken about developing and protecting their linguistic culture, but with regards to core-core-identity, TN (as well as Kerala) are head-and-shoulders above the rest.

Accomodating ppl and learning to speak multiple languages only helps us in long run!

Tamilnadu's mass education system is far far better than other education system in the country (having studied in CBSS and moving to TN syllabus made me realize it). Chennai is more connected to SE Asia than other cities, historically and by modern transports. I think most points you mentioned in above video makes a city shiny, but Chennai is livable and prosperous and not shiny.

I am now in London for my masters and as much as I miss Hyderabad (which too is a super underrated city by the way) I miss Chennai. I just want to be back to that vibe. Important to note, I visited in 2007 (two days before Sivaji came out) and I absolutely hated the city back then. It was dirty, felt congested and I just took a very bad vibe. I visited in 2011 for a World Cup match and felt it was it was slightly better. Just highlights that the city is constantly improving.

I believe the city still manages have it's so called Madras pulse resonating in people's hearts because of it's non-suffocating conservative nature.
