i think its high time mani ratnam retired.sick and tired of elongated asian paint ad like stuff.we have great talent around like Ameer,Priya,vishnuvardhan,saran,selvaraghavan,gaut am menon,actually theres no need of a maniratnam.Shankar-indias answer to jhon woo+spielberg combined has made 2 movies from one story- Indian and Anniyan and got away with it.nice way to take people for a ride

Who is priya? Rest of them - I completely agree. Though I have personal differences I would also add SJS.

BTW Anniyan didnt ride ppl. It didnt run 100 days anywhere. Was out in most of the theatre. Its better than Boys and Kadhalan but didnt match rest of Shankar movies.

njv...i taut kadhalan was a blockbuster hit movie??i know the audio was a big hit,can we say the most popular arr-shankar combo...but movie?

**njv** · 30th December 2005, 06:00 PM

movie was a disaster. the audio and prabu deva (at that time!) helped a bit, but nevertheless that was a flop movie.

...bus-kku paint adicha john woo spielberg aayida mudiyuma?

anniyan -la logic enna vilainnu keatavaru shankar!

lanjatha olikaradha thavara vera enna subject idhuvaraikum eduthirukaru!

look at maniratnam...

nayagan,mouna ragam,anjali,agni natchathiram,iruvar,bombay,alaipayuthey,roja,kannt hil muthamittal

look at maniratnam's versatility!......shankar is nowhere near maniratnam....

what happened to u....

u compare saran,vishnuvardhan,priya with maniratnam.....

onlu one director who is of great calibre like mani at present is bala!

dude i detest shankar as much as you do..didnt u understand,i meant shankar is a spielberg+jhonwoo wannabe,and way below Mani.Ur list upto Agni Natchathiram is okay,after that for me Mani lost his focus.His movies feels prefabricated and unnatural.Bala is something special,he has carved a niche,a class apart.Adventurous and he is what I call versatile.

Agree 99%. Exception is kannathil muthamittal.

iruvar is a classic i guess!..may be not entertaining....

bombay doesnt had a good climax..but a wonderful movie!

kannathil muthamittal is not so natural...little artificial in dialogues and filming!...but a good movie!
