[uttermost]

actually, more than love, I think I can't get myself to hate him ever.

[uttermost]

or dismiss him as a maverick.

I'll always love Maniratnam. Even if he supports Modi.

Yes I like him too but his time is done now

No. his time never came. he could have been much more than a regular commercial director who makes beautiful movies.

may be I'm overestimating him. 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.

Maniratnam was the first big director to break from Ilayaraja. 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.

There's no controversy. Those who shout against him should read what he wrote before shouting.

He said nothing wrong.

Maniratnam is the nerd you want to be friends with.

[uttermost]

He's the nerd you hope would surprise you with something extraordinary.

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..
