At ISO 100, the resolution of 35mm film is between 8 MP for consumer grade color film to 25 MP for professional black and white film (in combination with a fantastic lens - otherwise the film/ sensor would out-resolve the optics).
The higher the ISO, the bigger the advantage for digital. Pretty much all dSLR cameras are better than film, and several Canons are spectacular. The 5D for example, can deliver smooth images up to ISO 1600/ 3200.

A medium quality film scan is of 200 megapixels at the least.

I don't think you understand what Megapixels are. It all depends on how large you want to blow up a picture. If you want standard 5x7" or 4x6", you're fine working with a 4+ Megapixel camera. If you want to blow it up to 8x10, you're gonna need 7+ Megapixels.

You can always add film grain in post processing.
Or just use film to start with, if the grain is important to you.
