A.R.Rahman - Mani Rathnam - Rajeev Menon - GURU

Maddy,
Not just dilse but any Mani movie does well in overseas and in our metros. Period films have always been rejected by the Hindi audience, even Shahrukh’s Ashoka was a flop.
If Mani needs his first elusive hit in Bollywood, he has to work on a contemporary subject like DCH and his great technical crew will enhance it better.
When creativity is at an all time low in Bollywood that Don, Sholay, AAAnthony are remade, it's just the time Mani can pull a surprise but with Guru I don’t think he has a chance. Lajjo may be the one. We'll see!

hey how can u forget Anjali/Roja/Bombay/Saathiya which were huge hits......

lets see yaar, if he has something interesting to say then people wud watch it.......

I meant a direct hit and not dubbed ones.
But nevertheless dubbed hits are to be reckoned as well.

How can anyone expect that piece of Cr*p called asoka to be hit ? It was not a period movie in any sense (SRK roaming around with a totally hip hairdo in 250 BC or so :-) )...

kadavuLE vandhu nadichAlum andha stupid script would've flopped big time. Is this the same Santosh Sivan who made terrorist ?!?!?!

It has nothing to do with weak script, it flopped cuz it was a period film. I don't think SRK's audience ever expected a good script! And in Ashoka his name was Ashok and not Raj or Rahul. Besides he wanted to die for his country, normally ppl expect SRK to die for his love!

FYI: Saathiya was not directed by Mani, it was remade in Hindi by Shaad Ali only screenplay was by Mani
