Films of Mani Ratnam

I like nenjil dhil dhil too. Simmi version was slightly better. Maddy was very rigid.

(Recently a Boston radio found this to be worthy to air among many classics that fellow hubber irir123 recommended to them).

Never had a chance to see the movie during those days and was so irritated when I saw this atrocious picturization in a VCD full of songs. My opinion didn't change when I viewed the movie either. Should learn from malayALi directors on how to bring in such songs in a movie like this without irritability.

I'm not sure what came first nAyakan or MR. If nAyakan came later, then we can safely assume that Mani has improved by leaps and bounds by that time (on song picturizations).

This song can compete with 'mainA mainA mAman pudichcha mainA' of pagal nilavu for MR's WORST picturizations :-(

When people're discussing BEST - please, please, don't even mention "pani vizhum iravu" - horrible :-(

Yeah, kadaisi pagudhi namakku thala valikkum/suthum, paavam andha Manisha ponnu :(

Aana, what ya picturization ma! Fantastic landscape (Leh/Ladhak), visuals almost managing to match Rahman's fantastic score.

You mean mArgazhi dhaan Odi pOchu or Andhi mazhai mEgam

I have to tune my level of kaNdanam accordingly

I meant "Andhi Mazhai" :lol:

Margazhi Dhaan - is that the song sung by Arun Mozhi/Napolean, (which was cut in the film except the beginning? If yes, thats a wonderful song)

When it comes to picturization (w.r.t IR-ARR), its a no contest IMO. Mani-ARR anyday....

Anyone up for a "As Mani's visual's got better his screenwriting got worse" diskassan? :lol2: The apex of this parabola would of course be Iruvar.

Do you expect someone to come and fight for 'pagal nilavu' as the best screenwriting by MR? I don't think so :-)

பகல் நிலவு Vs திருடா திருடா?

:thumbsup:

That said, it's more of a Full-wave Rectified Sine wave. So far the (two) peaks would be "Nayagan" and "Iruvar". 8-)

I used to think the answer to this question is screaming obvious till Plum came along yesterday.
