K. BALACHANDER - GENIUS
Have you ever come across a director touching 100 movies . its a rare phenomenon .its not so easy to cross 25 movies because one's imaginative skills and karpanai levels stays up to a maximum of 25 only.
Even veterans like sridhar, barathiraja, bagyaraj, Mahendran , Balu Mahendra ( yesteryears )
could not stretch their consistency beyond 30 or 40 movies .........
I am not considering S.P.Muthuraman ( a hardcore commercial director and guys like Kaja , Ramanarayanan )
Its not the number game only which makes an artist an all time great
its the consitency , quality , ability to be adaptable to the changing scenario ........ which makes a person great
K.B. ( fondly called ) has all the requisites......
When the tamil cinema industry was going through the routine / mundane type stories, KB was bold enough to make movies like Arangetram , Thappu thaalangal , Aval oru thodar kathai, Avargal , aboorva ragangal , moondru mudichu........
Each movie was unique .......
Above all, it was KB who brought in 2 LEGENDARY PERSONALITIES IN THE 70S.......
ONE BECAME ULAGA NAYAGAN ....KADHAL ILAVARASAN
ANOTHER BECAME A SUPER STAR.......
Shall we exchange thoughts about this genius .........
Definitely deserves top slot amongst CREATIVE directors

He deserves a Thread Good work Balaji !
I admire all his movies ... they will have a message in it !
His Yedhir Neechal and Baama Vijayam ... were excellent pieces
His Thillu Mullu was an amazing comedy !
Especially his Aboorva Raagangal was a true different approach
I like his Azhagan, Sindhu Bhairavi n many more

I think Vaanamay ellai was a good message to youth .....
a striking message to those who try to commit suicide on seeing failures......
the same KB showed how stupid a person is if he tries for suicide in Punnagai Mannan !
Variety !

Vaanamey ellai ... Ys ... That was awesome ... particularly he quoted what probs they are facing ... due to which they go to extreme step of DYING !
But i dont understand ... many of his films have a sad ending !
