Who is better - Barathiraja or Balachander

[S.Balaji]

Meeharika,

Yes. The concept of getting conceived for another woman ( in Kalki )is silly, unacceptable and horrible thinking on the part of KB.
Yes, on Pudhu pudhu arthangal also, Rehman and Sitara will behave like lovers but suddenly they will give up after change of hearts. Probably KB did not know how to end that deadlock. This again proves my theory that KB is poor finisher.

Even Arangetram also, he will make the heroine a lunatic at the end. BR would have made a more realistic acceptable end to that movie.
The only positive movie I had seen from KB is Vaanamay ellai. A good object lesson for youngsters.

his 100th film parthalae paravasam...don't know wat he is trying to do...i think KB was completely lost how he want to carry out the storyline...it was dragging sooooooooo much without any logic...very poor storyline....

I would rate BR higher than KB any day, though KB is great in his own right
16 Vayadhinile, Vedam Pudhidhu, Mudhal Mariydahai, Sigappu Rojakkal, KC (especially the seval fight scene) are great works......

[S.Balaji]

BR was once stamped as a village man after making 16 vayadhinilay and Kizakay pogum rail.
To silince his critics, he did Sigappu rojakkal and it was a super hit.
Itwas just to tell his critics that he can come to city subject also.

BR is more versatile. BR lived in nature . We can see BR through NIvas or Kannan ( the cinematoghapers ). BR speaks through scenes.
BR is very creative : He only introduced simultaneous cutting scenes
The unforgettble scene is in Mudhal mariyathai when the lover hears the death of his bride and the whole village gathers and he goes aloof and throws the flute in the water.

All the above , BR made it in a single scene and it was terrific.

Really, nobody had even thought of such a imaginative scene.

Not atleast KB

[Neeharika]

is maan vasanai BR movie?

[S.Balaji]

Of course, its by BR only

[S.Balaji]

We can also compare a common theme which both BR and KB experimented.

Aval oru thodar kathai vs Pudhumai pen

I feel Pudumaipen was much better as BR presented Revathy as a bold and independent lady and will stand alone at the end.

Another landmark creation by BR.

i hate Aval oru thodar kathai
only sujatha acting is appreciatable....

[S.Balaji]

No no, we cannot be totally prejudiced. Aval oru thodar kathai was definitelly a nice movie.
It says about what a working woman undergoes in her life and what compromises she has to make PERSONALLY in the larger interests of the family.
Like, she had to forgo her lover to her sister who was a widow.
She had to financially guide the family as the first brother was a drunkard and jobless guy.
She also expressed her soft corner that she is not really a tough woman but a caring lady. It was a nice movie by KB
But still I will rate Pudhumai penn as a better movie
