Before Kaatru Veliyidai, 15 Mani Ratnam songs you need to watch

Image
From Mouna Raagam to OK Kanmani, Mani Ratnam is one director who has never ceased to amaze the filmgoers with his varied scripts. Despite being a maverick filmmaker, Mani Ratnam will be more remembered for his songs, be it Andhi Mazhai Megam or Mental Manadhil. Since his debut film, Mani Ratnam has always used songs as a powerful narrative device. In his 25th film, Mani Ratnam is teaming up with Karthi, who worked as an erstwhile assistant director before landing a role in Kaatru Veliyidai, which is tipped to be a romantic drama. While the song Kaatru Veliyidai will be out on February 2, here are 15 best songs of Mani Ratnam you need to watch. Mouna Raagam - Mandram Vandha Nayagan - Nee Oru Kadhal Sangeetham Agni Natchathiram - Raja Raajathi Thalapathi - Sundari Kannal Roja - Pudhu Vellai Mazhai Thiruda Thiruda - Chandralekha Bombay - Kannalane Iruvar - Narumugaye Alaipayuthey - Evano Oruvan Kannathil Muthamittal - Kannathil Muthamittal Aa...

Visaaranai Plot Analysis || An Absolute Classic

Image
 The ancient Greeks probably had it right. According to them, gods were power-hungry pleasure-seekers who got their kicks by toying with human lives. It’s a fancy way of saying shit happens – but how else to explain away the mind-boggling randomness of, say, the recent floods in Chennai? Or the plight of the four Tamilian migrant workers tossed into a Guntur prison in Vetri Maaran’s powerful new film,  Visaranai ? The gods of this story, partly adapted from M Chandrakumar’s novel  Lock Up , are the gods of our time – the powerful people who make up the nebulous, all-pervasive, malignant entity we’ve come to call the System. And they keep hurling lightning bolts at Pandi (‘Attakathi’ Dinesh), Murugan (‘Aadukalam’ Murugadoss), Afsal (Silambarasan) and Kumar (Pradeesh), who are arrested when a local big shot’s house is burgled. The cops don’t care who committed the crime. They just want a confession.  Any confession. And who better to extract it from than these fou...

THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED IN THANGA MEENGAL! // Cinema Fans Must Read

Image
The winner of 3 national awards and the only Tamil film to be screened at Indian Panorama in International Film Festival of India, IFFI, Goa, 2013, Thanga Meengal is a must watch and it gives a feel even while I watch it after these many years. Now three year after its release one cannot stop to think about the movie and the intricacies that lay within it. The film, backed with stellar performances from the entire cast, tells the tale of a father-daughter relationship with many layers within it, and is a truly heart-warming story. On first look it would be a difficult task to truly understand what the director has laid out in such a beautiful manner (the case with most films) but nevertheless director Ram has definitely given Tamil cinema a new form of sorts. Yesterday i saw some interview of Director Ram, and he had these few insights to share. If you take a closer look at the characters in the movie, you would notice that each character has always been captured within a spe...

Happy Birthday Mozart of Madras

He is someone who literally gave a 'New' sound to music ever since he arrived on the Tamil music industry with the soundtrack of Mani Ratnam's Roja. Since then, there has been no looking back for A.R.Rahman who has been consistently delivering one hit after the other in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi cinema. His music in films like Roja, Kandukonden Kandukonden, Kadhal Desam, Bombay, Rangeela, Lagaan and Rang De Basanti have given us many chartbusters. The year 2008 was a particularly great year for all 'Rahmaniacs' as the music maestro gave us super soundtracks like Jodhaa Akbar, Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na, Yuvvraaj and Ghajini. On the same year his compositions for Danny Boyle's internationally acclaimed film Slumdog Millionaire has even fetched him the prestigious Golden Globe nomination. That is not the end then he done more and more Hollywood films, and some best music for him.  Roja versus Berklee Music School "I was in the backing band for t...

Selvaraghavan - The man I admire.

I am always fond of movies. I always loved to watch all movies. But I never thought i would be in this industry in the aim to direct a movie. But that happened, When i was in my age of 16. I was watching Puthupettai with my family, as the movie goes on everyone slept except me. To be true I shouted for the first time in my life while watching with family during the transformation of kokki kumar scene.  As i came out of theatre I cant come out of that character. "Wat a character man!!!!"* In my mind * This is what legends will make us. They will make us to reach our extreme. Then the history happened  >> Aayirathil oruvan <<
