That's a good point thimiru.
Maddy,
For all your cribbing about TN giving Mani a raw deal, the best business for Guru is in the South. Its the South which ahs come to the rescue :)
I wantted to comment on these things a bit. But staying away :yessir:
Bala,
It is unfair to say that "Mani is overhyped" when we can find faults in his narration. Even I had a similar opinion that - Mani is not great compared to the likes of SR, Bala, SJS etc sometime back ! May be - I decided these things after watching very few movies of Mani.
Presently, he is the best among the current directors and that is pretty acceptable. Mani had done great films in the past. Much like how our young directors are doing. "We need to wait and see how our present directors give movies after 5 to 10 films and then arrive at a conclusion". I think no one will deny the fact that Mani is currently the NO.1 when it comes to *directors*.
I have not yet seen GURU. But heard that it is much better when compared to AE, Iruvar etc :) Not sure though. Guess - Mani started crippling with AE. I was :evil: when I watched the film. A bit of "Manda Kaanchu PoNa" effect and the "feel good" factor that was present in "Iruvar" was missing and the characters looked :evil:
OTOH, There are much better movies like "Agni Natchathiram", "Mouna Raagam" etc from Mani :wink: He had used the same style of narration in those movies and thus carving a unique style for himself. I don't have any problem with the "short dialogues", "partial narration" etc though ! :)
Tomorrow evening 6:40 PM @ PVR, Forum Mall, Bangalore, I am going to watch Guru in Hindi.....
Chill out Maddy, even we like Mani but doesnt mean we should not give opinion on his movies . Regarding Microscopic analysis we havent done that . sample peace "why is the south indian temple gopuram seen once in while . Northie temple doesnot have such huge Gopurams :P "Quote:

Roja ( kashmir issue )
Dil se ( North eastern border issue )
Mumbai ( Mumbai riots / Babri masjid )
Alai payuthe ( love before marriage and after )
Kannathil muthamitaal ( no need to mention )
Ennum vera ennayaa vendum to prove his class ? :)

Ghatham, Ghatham.. PEACE OUT GUYS!! My points were just to prove that he is/was not the BEST director in India as is made out to be. And I thought I should spell out the reasons why I thought so. Continue with Mani's Guru.. I will join when I have watched it.
Sadly, I have to agree. There is no question that BR has lost it long back. But it happens to even the best (Woody Allen is a shadow of his former self).Quote:
