Those were nice articles Termi :D

Tm,

Manmadhaleelai, THEME AND STORY is an adult concept.
It talks about a guy who craves after women (I mean species called women, irrespective of age, caste, relationship etc). He is actually not a bad person, I suppose it would be shown as his weakness.

The theme was handled very well, EXCEPT THE fact as to hwo heroine gets convinced regarding her hus!

It SHOULD BE SEEN WITH THE THOUGHT THAT IT IS AN ADULT MOVIE. (strictly an adult movie)

Some words he listens to, as a curse for the weakness he has, would hurt not only him, but also the audience as they are supposedly TOO SHARP.

K.Balachander

ICON of Tamil film Industry .

People here just take 2 or 3 films of his and criticise about him..

fine ..

He is the only director who never cared for big heroes, heroines, Famous Music Directors etc etc. but could give good films

Starting from

Neerkumizhi .. Just hospital background was enough for him but his characterization is outstanding
Edhir neechal - My god .. Each chanracter is remembered even today .. Pattu mami, Maadhu, Kittu mama, chettan etc..
Iru kodugal - This is another awesome movie and again characterisation, song sequences all were realistic
Bama vijayam - He could give Serious and comedy movies and this is one such example.. How brilliant he was in this movie

and the list will be big.. How many different stories and how many different characters and how many new actors/actresses he introduced..

Sujatha was a brilliant find of KB .. She gave excellent performance in Aval oru thodar kadhai but her best was Noolveli under KB

He is one man who along with Sridhar turned tamil cinema in a real path .

Name a topic and he had made film on that

Music - Sindhu bairavi
Social - Unnal mudiyum thambi

Jadhi malli - another beuatiful movie by KB which shows how matured love and teen love

Agni saatchi - brilliant performance by saritha

Many more to add .. He's definitely one of the pioneer for all the directors if we say he showed vulgarity in some films like Manmadha leelai etc.. he had predicted how every film in the current age would be .. Now every film sells on flesh

he is Iyakkunar Sigaram - no doubt about that

:clap:

Vulgarism in his movies was BECAUSE OF NECESSITY for the story

Nowadays its because MOVIE HAS TO SELL.

That was a nice Post rajesh.

As u said, Kb could be the only one who would have touched many concepts and many characters.

Right SP,

Vulgarism in his movies was BECAUSE OF NECESSITY for the story. Though it depends whether they could be categorized as Vulgar or no.
