Movies - among those I watched...well, actually all of them except pagal nilavu & bombay, namely :
mouna rAgam
nAyakan
dhaLapathi
anjali
alai pAyudhE
(I haven't seen the rest of his movies)
Music albums :
agni natchathiram
alai pAyudhE
thirudA thirudA
dhaLapathi
uyirE
anjali
bombay
mouna rAgam
nAyakan (slightly lower than others but it has that 'then pANdichcheemaiyilE', the best among any song for a MR film IMO)
rOjA
idhayakkOyil (with some struggle)
pagal nilavu (poo mAlaiyE effect)
i meant, it can be a IR album too :DQuote:

So my word 'normal' need not be construed as 'a girl bold enough to have an affair and elope and then be bold enough to stand up to her husband and say the famous kambili poochchi dialogue'. This restlessness of the central character is what they focus and bring out so much as subtexts or as implied meanings influencing the audience significantly.Quote:

Yet very little has been discussed about the character oriented nature of Mani's films - more focus is on the camera angles, songs, music, visualization etc., There is a load of hefty writing on the character and my point is that right from his first film, the protagonist is always a 'restless' person always betting on his/her own choices that usually (sometimes expectedly) run against the 'stereotyped choices'.
ah, MR-ARR albums i dont know which one to leave out :D .....they are all great albums......Quote:

I think Aayutha ezhuthu may be the weakest one in the ARR-MR combination. BTW who is going to start the poll and when? any idea.Quote:
