But he had great directors to watch and learn in Tamil industry, but he ended up so mediocre. Every concept he took was shallow, and he made it worse with his careless dialogues. I wish he takes time off to observe people beyond his TamBram circlejerk (consisting of his wife, Kamala Haasan) and read books extensively before he makes a masterpiece. A masterpiece is certainly due from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the reason he gave for it was pure gold. He understands the technical aspects of a film like no other (among his peers of the same age), and saw how Ilayaraja's method of composing (not the tunes themselves) was a huge misfit. Even though he respects Ilayaraja very much. He failed to achieve similar level of understanding of people to make impactful films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttermost Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I don't think Maniratnam is done. I sent him copies of Anarchist Literature a while back. Lets see if he incorporates them in his movies. In his last film, he came across as pretty right wing reactionary. He regressed. May be he didn't open my gift at all. hehe..
