    the purpose of saying learning is different adapting in other state that what most of the camerman and director to narrate they fail to execute whati s current executed in tamilnadu state always keeps in dream land for commercial that makes each film industry that is tamilnadu is occupied by highly keralite film makers this how we understand documentary so for tamilnadu region vs keralite documentary should be different instead it is over crowding visuals which not allow to breath that how bollywood understand anything to share and invest in a production he bring keralite driector keralite maker this how knowledge is different adaptation is different but what a state visuals that is what all that madurai is highly used has politcal ground deciding place but those days madurai is the one is the starter place for dramas and now all shifted to chennai that itself absurd , this all by film makers what respect u have given to this member ensures how the busienss is carried there are 9 crores members of population is other than chennai , ur shaming entire cosmo and metro is a culture itself we cannot digest

    I want an out and out action movie from Mr. Mani Ratnam, not the slash types. Alaipayuthey, Kannathil Muthamittal, Raavan, Bombay are basically action/potlitical/family movies - family dramas dabbed with socio-political issues and bit of action. They work but when you repeat maiing these kind of movies, they are apparently saggy and over used. CCV is my most favourite movie in this aspect

    Excuse me. First of all choose a word to respect him if not dare call him sir. And i dnt know from which state you hail from and which part of the country u live in, but i do understand u knew very little about maniratnam sir. He is the finest director india has ever produced. Just watch all his films and comeback with your own judgement and rebutt me all you could. But please just watch his films and then come to a conclusion. I just felt u r a disgrace to film lovers fraternity if u call him overrated.
