Who is better - Barathiraja or Balachander

**S.Balaji** · 17th July 2005, 04:47 PM

Dear Friends,

I wish to initiate a debate on this topic. I feel , Barathiraja counts more in terms of variety and class . K.B's most pictures were either remake of successful movies from other languages or a popular story which appeared in leading tamil magazines.
BR was more creative thinker.
BR gives positive end to his movies but KB will make us wonder where it will end with.

really nice topic.i feel barathiraja gave different films.16 vayadhiniley,sikappu rojakkal,tiktiktik,en uyir thozhan,kadalora kavidhaikal...........
balachander also tried some diffrent movies.but he is amtuerish in his direction.not that natural like barathiraja.barathiraja's best picture in "mudhal mariyadhai"

Dear guys

Vedam pudidhu of BR was an epic . He at the climax of the movie very beautifully had summarised the issue and ended the Movie on a positive note.
Of mudhal mariyadhai is a unique and fantastic concept of an old man getting into love as he was not getting with his wife. Really a wonder theme. I liked it.

This happens to everybody in life. If you are not getting the affection and passion from your dear ones,you look for somebodyelse and thats the story.

How can one forget Kizhakku Cheemayile & the songs.

Thenkizhakku cheemayile song....

Kozhikku kunju mela kovam illaya
Un pola annan intha vooril illaye.

Pasatha pangu poda patta illayae.

If u notice after KC why BR drowned, his focus diverted towards his his son rather to the script & screenplay.

**S.Balaji** · 18th July 2005, 12:28 PM

You are right. Probably BRs focus shifted to grooming his son and that ended his reign.
Also, for every creative thinker, as a human being , there is a limit and end to all. BR could sustain for a longer duration as he is a great creative thinker.

You can take the case of directors - Mahendran , Bagyaraj, Udayakumar, P Vasu, Pandyarajan, Parthiban even Shankar

All the above after one point could not stretch their creativity.

Bharathiraja is the best! Much better than KB...

Why there are no takers for KB ???

Nobody seems to be in support of KB .

Can we conclude that BR is better than KB ???

KB movies are weird sometimes....very hard to accept his concepts in reality...for eg...kalki,vidukathai...so and so.....

even pudhu pudhu arthangal...i find it wierd...becoz...they show as if rahama and sitara are lovers...then at last they get separted and start to live with their spouse....
