Mani sir,
ReplyDeleteJust saw your latest movie with high expectations but I'm terribly disappointed...
It pains to see a person of your calibre ill-treat the female lead so badly...There is a supposedly romantic moment in the film where the hero lifts her through his boot....What's wrong with you...How could YOU even think of something like that...
You always had women in high esteem...
Very disgusting....
Shankar
I am disappointed, particularly second half of the movie Katru Veli. It seems mani is relying on music, location and cameraman to do story telling instead of director doing the screen play and actual story. Pathetic sequences in the second half actually drags the whole movie. It degrades an Airforce pilot having affair with multiple flicks and getting married after the girl grown to 4 to 6 years old ...
DeleteDear maniratnam, earlier your films mixed romance with certain strong national happenings. Eg. Roja and Dil se films had Kashmir terrorism, Bombay had Hindu Muslim agitation and depicted on unity, kannathil muthamittal had Sri Lanka fights, etc. But now your movies are not having such strong tagline. A director of your calibre can do stories by mixing romance with certain events like organs stealing in hospitals or biological warfare, etc or even stories related to naxalite problems. You can do better in such stories. I am your fan and hope to see such movies.
ReplyDeleteNamskaram Mani Sir,
ReplyDeleteNo sure if I have the credibility nor experience to talk or comment about your creation. I do understand that we need to treat every creation by nature or human as beautiful because beauty lies in its uniqueness and variation. It’s always been easy for someone to express their viewpoint by looking at the final product. My humble request is to have a nativity in your story or script sir. Trust me sir, just because of 'MANI RATHNAM' a global brand people will watch your movie. I do understand your intention to make a movie for Indian audience. Unfortunately, we have a diversified culture hence I strongly believe having a generic story line is quite challenging. We would love to see your movie which has a strong backing of a specific culture. Please accept my sincere thanks for entertaining us for more than 3 decades.
With love + respect,
Ganesh Kumar Sreenivasan.
Hello Mani sir,
ReplyDeleteDeleted the post couple of times not sure if it is right on me to comment on your hard work and creation. but finally made up my mind to pen down my thoughts.
KV was AWESOME..
It is good to see movies evolving with time to reflect current social issues / trends instead of making them a figment of imagination or larger than life.
The way you ensure songs are part of narration instead of treating them as "extra-fit" is superb. If I miss a song from your movie I know I have missed a greater portion of narration.
Snow-fight, introducing preg. sis, ensuing fight, climax – everything about KV was real, simple, powerful and NOT MELODRAMTIC - you deserve a standing ovation for making them so real - DEJA VU. spl mention to climax - that's how one of my friend's introduced her kid to its father. Dialogues are so real... invariably we come across guys boasting or shouting in midst of their friends and girls crying - you treats me like pickle to curd rice / use and throw paper cup.
Not being able to attach emotionally to the story is a blessing again - ppl don't get attached to their face in mirror :-)
YOU ROCK... THOROUGLY ENJOYED THE MUSICAL POEM.
Pls ignore / excuse if it was not appropriate on me to comment on your baby.
Regards
AK.
Kaatru Veliyidai- A Manirathnam film.
ReplyDeleteThere are two sides to how Manirathnam excels in his movies.
His storytelling prowess and the best use of technicians in his movies especially cinematography, music and editing.
I would rate this movie as one of the best in terms of Manirathnam using cinematography to make each frame of this movie visually pleasing, aesthetically immense and technically proficient. Each frame of the movie can be frozen to please our senses. The visual angle created in cinematography adds to the magnificent and spectacular picturisation.
As for storytelling, Manirathnam seems to have lost his magical touch. He made it as a simple narration of the story alternating between now and flashbacks.
It is all the more confusing to comprehend what he is trying to portray his lead characters as.
The movie starts with an Air Force officer at Kargil war evicting himself from a fighter plane, falling onto enemy territory and then being imprisoned in Pakistan prison. It then beautifully expands into a flashback of pleasant memories of his girl friend and painful memories of how badly he treated her.
He gets badly injured in an accident and is taken to the air base hospital where the fate and serendipity bring love of his life as a young doctor who reports to her duty on the first day. It is not anybody's guess then that she heals his body and steals his heart.
The movie then unfolds as a beautifully scripted Manirathnam's love story where Varun (Karthi) and Leela Abraham (Aditi Rao) who are completely opposite people fall in love. Their love and romance are then moving perilously closer to breakup everytime Varun shouts and fights for no obvious reason. Here is where the audience get confused.
Why Varun enters into unprovoked altercations to belittle his beautiful girlfriend in front of his colleagues? Why Leela with her beautiful, vulnerability coated porcelain like face comes back to him after all his male chauvinistic, preposterous and at times psychopathic behavior? The only plausible explanation for his behaviour, as he himself says in a scene, is that he has been trained to fight. That's not very convincing
Mr Manirathnam!
How does Varun escape from Pakistan prison and cross the Indian borders? Does he feel sorry for what he did to his girlfriend? What is the surprise Leela holds for him? In fact, this is the only surprise at the end for the Indian movie audience who are more used to twists and turns in the screenplay.
Nevertheless, Karthi and Aditi Rao, however flawed their roles are, have done their parts brilliantly.
AR Rahman's music is rich with sophistication and is just fitting to the scenes with one or two catchy tunes. We invariably end up comparing the musical masterpieces Ilayaraja created for Manirathnam in his movies.
I would say AR Rahman music is cerebrally sensitizing but Ilayaraja's music was musically innervating our hearts and making us feel the emotional connections with the movie. This kind of emotional connection by music would have made a greater impact on us of this aesthetically stunning visual treat from Manirathnam 😀

Mr. Mani Ratnam. I am Guna - Senior Auditor in Def Accts Deptt from bangalore. I am a 30 year old, vastly experienced and reputed THEATRE (adv.version of Drama) personality specialised in acting since 1984 apart from direction,writing and singing (orchestra). I was trained by national and international theatre stalwarts apart from teachers of National School of Drama, New Delhi. V met in 1992 during the making of THIRUDA THIRUDA in which u ve offered me small role which i have refused for want of challenging roles. I returned to Delhi due to my official and domestic demands and felled by ill luck. Once again i m here and raring to roar if given chance.I came to meet you many times, incl today (13/5/17) but was not allowed as usual perhaps they would ve thought me as a normal beggar. A black BMW in your office entrance was making fun of me. If u respond i will submit by CV in person or by post. IT IS PAINFUL TO SEE THAT THERE IS NO MECHANISM (AND HUMANISM) AT PLACE IN INDUSTRY TO RECEIVE & RESPECT TALENTED, HONEST AND DECENT CHANCE SEEKERS. V can compromise with attire but not sensible sensitivity. Thanx and all d best for ur endeavours. Hope to be part of ur future endeavours. Expecting a respecting reciprocation soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Mani sir, I am a writer from Toronto, Canada who has been inspired by your films since childhood. I have a project that I am working on that I feel only you can do justice to. Its the story if three women, a divorcee, a lesbian and a young widow and their journeys from loneliness to solitude. The stories are both love stories as well as stories of empowerment. Let me know if you are interested and i will share the story board. My email is tanzeel.abdullah@bell.ca. thanks.

Sir,
ReplyDeleteMy expectation is more from you. I want a film from you which will force every one to see again and again. That film should teach young girls/boys how to love and how to behave each other where bodily attraction will not be there and whole family can sit together to watch the film (not like Roja). The film will teach how to maintain marriage life to prevent the present divorce cases in the nation. Film will be like this where a fair girl may fall in love with a black boy due to his good behavior. The real truth and some spiritual touch should be there to maintain good character and to teach everyone in the nation, means that film which we never seen before, which will touch everyone's heart and help to make the good and peaceful country. If we close our eyes and think about this that this beautiful sky, glittering-starts, moon, trees everything may be there but we may not be there tomorrow....but if God is there we should give something to him by providing a peaceful country where he has to think about us!! (I performed stage acting many times 7/8 years back and completed 2 years diploma in Acting from famous place, willing to act lead role, my body structure is like Dhanush, I am a software engineer, working in a big organization, know Englisg, Hindi, bengali)
Regards...Umeshraj, Chennai
Hi sir.. May I know the audition details for yournext project..?
ReplyDeleteDear Sir,
ReplyDeleteI have that script which will show us the path of creating good character, and boys/girls will learn how to behave each-other before marriage even they love each-other.
Boys/Girls will learn how to pass marriage-life to prevent the present divorce cases and they will fall in love deeply after marriage what they did not feel before. (If we only read the Dialogs of the script, it will take only 20 minutes)
The script will also alert the people of the nation to prevent the unexpected incidents and also alert the girls how to be free from harassment.
Some touch of spirituality and presence of God, and some top most concepts of the modern science about the creation of this universe and what our Shastras (like Vedas) is telling, what is our duties, etc...are there in this script. Last more than 15 years in am in this spiritual path as well as IT Industry.
Every-one will get path of passing life in peace starting from Childhood to old-age.
The script has been written with dialog for a short-film (70 minutes), but one director in Kolkata is telling that it would cost approx 5 Lacs but i can spent only 3 Lacs by taking loan. The dialog is written in English & Bengali mix, but it can be done as English & Hindi mix.
I don't expect money or any return from this short film, that's why willing to download in YouTube to alert more people. But i know, if you shoot this short-film then 90% more people will see it.
I am willing to play the lead role to express the feelings what i want to show but don't want to show my actual face or identity as i don't like that. If you give me 2 hours, i can explain and show you. It will take only 1 hour to explain but i will become nervous in front of you (even though i know acting and performed stage acting many times) that's why told 2 hours.

ReplyDeleteDear Mani uncle, R.I.P for your current creativity, I 4 times watched kaatru veliyidai, carefully and completely understand that it’s not a hero based movie and all male dominates are deep x .

It tells about the topmost concept of science and tell's about the truth and Vedas, and life path of every human being. The real truth of the life and alerts to prevent unknown incidents for girls also.
Please Just see once, it's for "Awareness & Peace"

ReplyDeleteSubject: Script is ready to create sensation
Dear Guru gaaru,
I grew up watching your movies, those are not movies but sensations. You are a living legend, your movies Roja, Geethanjali, Bombay, Sakhi and many other movies inspired us.
Nowadays people are commenting at you that your creativity is not up to the mark because of generation gap. I can say your creativity still works but lack of stories.
I am a corporate employee, I wrote a script, I do not have experience of writing stories but I am confident this story will set a trend and I dont want to present this story ordinarily in the public. This script and your direction may create a sensation.
This story is all about science, religion, love, politics and social media, and involved 3 main characters who are youth.
There is lot of scope to add creativity to this story, I am still working/researching and polishing the script, may be it will take 1 month more.
I know this is foolishness to commit with an inexperienced story writer but I have experience of living life in current society.
I hope you may give a chance to me to narrate the story and obviously it is up to you whether we go ahead or not.
Thanks,

Hi Mani sir, we are lucky to have a director like you, you and AR Rahman has given us wonderful movies as well as breathtaking cinema experiences, I would like to call out one of your best cinemas which I have been stunned till today that is Anjali, Iruvar, Roja and Yuva in hindi, excited to see Yuva sequel in case it's in the pipeline, it would just be another great movie from you.

ReplyDeleteDear Mani Sir, why won't be a better idea to recreate a magic by remaking your own 1988 blockbuster 200-day run box office Tamil movie Agni Natchathiram as per today's trend and movie pattern. Wherein Vikram Prabhu Reprising the role of Prabhu Ganesan and Gautham Karthik reprising the role of Karthik Muthuraman along with Vijayakumar as Grandpa and Arun Vijay can also be reserved to play any vital role.
ReplyDeleteThank You

Hi Maniratnam sahab
ReplyDeleteI've a script. It is most likely to your genre. I guess you would like it because in my script there are three major things, 1st is a man murder every night and stay in the brothel and watch the Mujra rest of the night, 2nd is he'd fallen again in love with a harlot after the murder of his wife, and 3rd is he's cheated by that harlot because she joined the brothel to take revenge from him but never let him fathom.

ReplyDeleteSir, you had been one of the best directors of India.but of late your films are not impressive.i feel that that your films are not of that caliber.sorry for that.you can call the public and ask for stories .each one should be given 5minutes time.if you find any new ideas or stories you can then take it as a movie.i have 3 stories which are totally new.give us a chance for you to win
ReplyDeleteYou spend days together for discussion,why don't you give just 5 minutes for a new story.you are not going to lose anything sir.
ReplyDeleteHello.. Astute admirer of mani ratnam movies.. Wished to know if chekka chivantha vaanam is releasing in mumbai with english subtitles? Do reply at the earliest so that can book the tickets..
ReplyDeleteMani sir, I just I have seen chekka c v movie in Salem arrs multiplex.It was good. Big star cast ( very good cast selection). used entire cast in perfect manaer(great).very fast screenplay( like 20/20 cricket).very good tech support (music,editing,camera, recording..etc).songs go along with movie( it is good ).good opening in Salem. Am sure it is one of the good movie both critic and collection wise. Sir don't care about some critics we audians be always with you. Sir l have same thing in ccv trailer Arvind says unakku palaya Nanban irukana nabathei you should cut it in trailer because it revel the end twist.( I predict the end).Second Arvind Samy gangmenbers joined to oppsiteside in a single dialogue ( with out any fight). Third some logics missed in last 25 minits. Mani sir (62) we can't believe entire story move like a roller coaster drive. I wish you and your crew and your family for giving this movie. Thanks, Kannan.d, Salem.
ReplyDeleteAnother most important one is many of the Mani movies are taken in hindi, Tamil,telugu at a time in same location with same main characters it spoils Nativity of all languages . In this ccv language slang , loction, charectors sit on audience heart.thanks.
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. ManiRatnam,
ReplyDeleteWe are from Puducherry Development Party.
Your movie shows that there is a Red Light Area at Puducherry and there is a dialogue and related scenes shot in our Puducherry. We Puducherry people are very much agitated after hearing the dialogue "Puducherry Red Light Area ku vandhudu".
Can you tell me where is the area at Puduchery..? When there is no such are a how did you take the shot here in our Puducherry. Did you get police permission ? Did you give that script to police and got the permission..?
You are hurting PUducherry people. Puducherry has been a spiritual place since then. People like you are damaging the image of our great Puducherry.
We on behalf of Puducherry people request you to remove the scene and we will protest against the movie. Maniratnam has been a renowned director. But, Why his attitude towards Puducherry is very worst so..
Are you dare enough to take the shots saying that "Chennai Red Light Area"..
Kindly remove the shots. We will complaint to the LG office, CM office and DGP office against your act. Puducherry will show you what it is. Thanks.
Sincerely Yours,

Dear Mani sir, I wish you a happy new year to you & to your team. I have three things to share, a big thank you, wish & a chance.
ReplyDeleteThank you: I am Management graduate with engineering background working as a SAP Consultant. I would like express my THANK YOU, your movies has helped me to achieve 17% academic marks in two phases of life. First, 10th in 1995, my Tamil pandit Thiru pannerselvam didn't teach us Abirami anthathi and simply he will refer "thalapathi thalaivar song, kunitha puruvam," which fetched us 5% or 5 marks. Second : I had my semester exam on "Operation Management" 7th semester next day while I was relaxing watching "Mounra ragam" after my revision and forgot to study "Pseudo nomial solution" till the scene where lecturer was teaching about this. I immediately revised and fortunately it appeared in my exams next day. :)
Wish: When we can see you, PC & Illayaraja will join. I personally miss good background scores from your movies if not for songs.
Chance: As like everyone, I also request for a chance in your movies even if it is for few minutes. This could be a chance to meet you in person and provide my thank you.
Best Regards

Dear mani sir
ReplyDeleteThis week Ananda Vikatan I read about your upcoming/ expected project about "Ponniyin selvan"
I feel happy for your project and wishing you to come back
The casting of your movie seems to good but Vanthia Thevan - as equal as rajaraja cholan - an ever green hero is not good with casting of Karthi.
Why don't you go with surya.
The said character is too energetic with attraction.
This is my humble suggestion. You can go with some other too.
The choice of Jayam Ravi, Amitab Bachcha, iswarya is good.
Once again congratulations and good luck for your project.

ReplyDeletemy dear guru...
ReplyDeletei love you lots..... your my dream developer....
Dear Mani Ratnam and Suhasini,
ReplyDeleteI am Dr. Madhavi, a Scholar with PhD and Sociologist. I want to give you a message.
Cinema shows lot of impact on society and its people. Few of your movies are with good theme. But some movies are against morals and ethics that really spoiled the society and generation. For example, in 'Gitanjali' movie, you showed the heroine in a cheap way. That time many young girls influenced by that cheap behavior and they used to ask many men for elopement in a joking manner and that lead to character downfall of girls. In the movie 'villain', what you showed? A woman fell in affection with a person by neglecting her nice character husband. Your movies are with effective photography and strong cinematography. Hence there is lot of impact on the society. All ready society is becoming spoil day by day. Why you are increasing its depth and width by making it more spoil? Please don’t neglect this message of a scholar who is thinking for the wellbeing of the society and its people.
You are reaching old age now. At least now you try to make good movies with good morals and ethics. Don’t think about success of the movie. It will automatically get success. You please try to spread good messages in the society with your movies from now onwards.
Take up project to make film on Sita, the wife of Lord Sri Rama. So that present generation girls will know what should be a woman and how must be a woman. Surely it will get success.
You can make movies on the lives of great devotees like Tukaram, Purandara Das, Sur Das, Tulasi Das, Mira Bai, Vllabhacharya and many more. They all proved the existence of God. Bhakti is not a sentiment but practical science. Make your life successful by making movies on great Devotees.
Women’s good character is the root for the society’s wellbeing. You make movies as many as you can by taking up this theme that woman should be with good character and should be dedicated to only one man in her life.
If you spread righteousness in the society, you will be blessed by the lord. Please make your life cause-oriented to make society healthy.
You please contact me to discuss more on this matter. My email: madhavi_radhe100@yahoo.co.in
Thank you,
Sincerely, Dr. G. Madhavi.

Mani sir there is no wonder to say I'm your greatest fan. Because all over Tamil cinema viewers all greatest fan of your self. It's ok let's come to the point. I'm heard about some news regarding you are trying to giving me the celluloid form for ponniyin selvan. It's fake or not I don't know wheather if it's true please give me the chance for portraying the role of madhuranthakan. I'm a mba holder. And working in govt sector. You are already gave such roles for trangender community like in Bombay movie and raavanan. But ...

ReplyDeleteDear Mr.MANIRATHNAM
Sub; PONNIYIN SELVAN
Read in the news papaers that you have selected some actors for the imporatan roles for the PONIIYN SELVAN MOIVE. If you shoot the movie casting the actors menetioned in the news papers the movie will be a flop becuse the actors will not suit for the charectors, beacuse I have read the novel 4 to5 times , I have apicture in my mind how the charectors are so aslo the hundred thousnad readers who read the novesl.
For exmaples of the past movies. Veerapanya kattbhomman we can thin ko Sivaji only, not any other actor. So also Sambbormarmayanam we can think of N T Ramarao onlyas Rama , PATHIBHAN kanavu
S V rangarao as NARASIMHA PALLAVA.
SO MY suugestion is that the follwoimg actors will be most apt for the imporatant roles.
1.Vindyadheavan- should be handsome, jovial and also matureds. Surya or Ajith
2.KUNDHAVAI- Beautiful, elegant- Anuksha shetty. SHE should llok eledrely to Arul moashi
3.N andhini- Beautiful and mesmrrosing eyes Nyanadharq
4.ARUKMOZHIVARMAN- handsome withsmiling face (kunzhanthai Mukham) - karthi
5Sundara chozhan- hansome even at eledrely age- Sivakumar
6.Peiya pazhuveaatayr- Sah tyaraj
7.Chinnapazhuvattyar- NAZAR
8.Vanathi- Keethi Sursh
please disuss wtih your team before commencement of the fimining

ReplyDeleteHello Sir,
ReplyDeleteI keep repeatedly watching your movies especially Thalapathy since 1997....There was a scene in which Rajini explained to Bhanupriya's daughter that why he had left by his biological mother.. Rajini told to that little girl "He was left by his mother due to his complexion 'black'.." You should have not said that complexion was a reason though it was a unknown past to him.
... Because.. The baby left by the mother was a boy, but he explained that case to the girl baby....in that scene both Rajini and that little girl were looking in a same complexion(black or brown) ...??? Just think about it... U may need to answer for plenty of questions irrespective to anything being happened to a girl child since the movie was released....
Unknowingly you and Pc Shri ram (with his lighting) had conveyed that the the babies were ignored by their mothers if not in expected complexion
ReplyDelete.. .. What would the girls who are under teen think if they watch over those scenes... Please be cautious Sir... Media is very powerful.. We should not be a reason for 'Thought corruptions' to upcoming generations.... What you see/think and what you make is not a 100‰ reality...

ReplyDeleteDear Mr/Ms Receiver,
ReplyDeleteGood day.
I would like request on the any other ways to enroll myself in acting/ cinema industry in India.
Since I'm living in Malaysia and especially from a conservative perspective family, I feel like it would be impossible to go through those auditions in India without any call/invitation. Because of this, I'm trying to send my resume to any of the cinema related company as you to at least get a call/invitation for audition which I could be used as a way to convince my family & to receive their consent.
I'm not quite confident that my family will let me resign my current job for give a visit to India to seek for acting opportunities. Nevertheless, I believe a direct call/invitation may help me to take an advantage of this opportunity.
Despite of all this, I'm quite strongly believe my passion and dream as well as my self-esteem could open a door for me to pursue my dream career namely film actress. Yes,by all means I do not have any training/educational background related to Cinema but I do have experience of acting in front of mirror inside my room. Therefore, I believe my passion on cinema will definitely drive me to a successful part.
Please feel free to revert back to my email address.
I'm writing this email to seek your kind advice. 🙏
Thanks and have a nice day ahead.

ReplyDeleteHello Mani Sir.
ReplyDeleteI happened to see your Ponniyin Selvan trailer. I have read the book many times and is undoubtedly the beat book. Any Tamilian who has read it will love it. The book is a very decent ones with no vulgarity in it. Your movies has developed an expectations in everybody. Inwas shocked to see sensual scenes in the trailer, just as in your other movies.....
Please please please remove those sensuous scenes from the movie. It will spoil the sanctity of the original story. I thought i should make my children watch this historical movie. But i think that will not be possible....
Please make the movie a decent one, maintaining the virtue of the original story. It's a humble request from sincere fan of Ponniyin Selvan.
Thanks and regards

Hi sir,
ReplyDeleteWe all are eagerly waiting for your historical romantic movie,'GEETANJALI' sequel.
Dear Mani sir,
ReplyDeleteIf I may suggest actress Anu Emmanuel for the role of Kundavai in your magnum opus ' Ponniyin Selvan'?
She has the beauty and charisma tailor-made for that role.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Dear Pooniyin Selvan team,
ReplyDeleteGood day! While I appreciate your effort to bring this classic on big screen I have few suggestions on casting. I’m writing this purely with good intention.
I have seen so many news about the casting and please note the age of Adithya Karikalan at the time of his assassination was just 24. He is eldest among the youngster lot. Vikram is a seasoned actor undoubtedly he will perform well. But age factor matters. Same with Aishwarya, Karthi, Ravi and rest of the crew.Most of older generation including 80s born would have read the level and had given a image to all of them. So I think it would be better for new faces rather than the known celebrities.also when presenting something to younger generation who had not read the novel along with the story line, I think we need match age factor too..
My casting again these actors whom I’m suggesting are not in early 20s or teens but they will be closer. Also fresh faces will make more impact is what I believe.
Vandhiyadevan : Atharva
Arul mozhi: Dhuruv Vikram
Vanathi: Kayal anandhi
Poonkuzhali: someone like Aishwarya Rajesh
Madhurandhagan: Harish Kalyan
Kandha Maran : Dhanush
Ravi Dhasan: Vikram Prabhu
Regards
pls note that azhwarkadian has vadagalai thirumann in your Ponniyin Selvan movie.,which is not correct,because vadakalai sect was not there during those times. Only Thenkalai as shown in Srirangam Temple was there. Vadakalai sect came after 17 th century. Movie dasavatharam depicts Thenkalai Thirumannn correctly. you can contact me. gopal p 9841049812
ReplyDeleteDear Mr Maniratnam: Greetings! It has been suggested to me by a fellow Veteran retired from the Armed Forces that you could be interested in turning the script of a book( link copy-pasted below) about a very patriotic and brave Naval Officer Commodore Jack Shea, into a series on Amazon Prime. Regards, Wing Commander Ravi Mani

ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Manirathinam,
ReplyDeleteGood day!
It seems that you are in the verge of filming the tamil historical novel " PONNIYIN SELVAN" in coming days.
I request you to kindly include great tamil actor Mr. O.A.K. SUNDAR, Son of Legendary actor Late. O.A.K. Dhevar.
As I watched few of his tamil dramas and cinema's, Mr. Sundar is good looking, well built personality, and his uniqueness is his proficiency in speaking flawless Sentamil mozhi, that too with apt body language, which deserves him for any potential character in your historical project.
I request you to kindly watch his dramas like Romapuri Pandian (King Karikala chozhan character) & Tamil Mahabaratham (Grandsire Beehma charcter), where you can literally see his unique potential.
Thanks & Regards,
R Santhosh Kumar,

அன்புள்ள மணிரத்னம் சார், உங்கள் படம் பொன்னியின் செல்வன்:1 @ souq waqif - நோவா தியேட்டர், தோஹா, கத்தார் பார்த்தேன்.
ReplyDeleteமை டென் சென்ட்ஸ், இரண்டு சிக்கல்களைத் தவிர படம் அனைத்து அம்சங்களிலும் பிரமாதமாக இருந்தது.
மலையாள நடிகர் லாலுக்கு கொடுக்கப்பட்ட ஒரு பாத்திரம், நடிகர்-பாத்திரம் இணக்கமாக இல்லை. இது ஒரு தாத்தாவாக உண்மையற்றதாகத் தோன்றியது, அவருக்கு 45 வயது ஆரோக்கியமான உருவம் பொருத்தப்பட்டிருந்தது. நாடகச் சிறப்பில் எழுத்துப் பிழை இருந்தது.
சண்டைக் காட்சிகளுக்கு இன்னொரு பெரிய பின்னடைவு. 1 முதல் 10 வரையிலான வகுப்பில், அனைத்து ஸ்டண்ட் இயக்குநரின் சிறப்புக்கும் 5 மதிப்பெண்கள் மட்டுமே வழங்க முடியும்.
இந்த அவதானிப்புகள் சிறந்த பலன்களுக்கு சவாலாக இருக்கும் என்று நம்புங்கள்.
மற்றபடி, அசாத்தியமான கிங்-திரைப்பட தயாரிப்பாளர் மணிரத்னம் சார் அவர்களின் கலை மேதை, எதிர்பார்த்தது போலவே, இன்னொருவரால் ஈடுசெய்ய முடியாத காலடித்தடங்களுடன் முடிந்து போனது. சிறந்த திரைப்படத் தயாரிப்பாளருக்கு வணக்கம்.
எனது நண்பரையும் எனது நாளையும் உற்சாகமாகவும் நிறைவாகவும் மாற்றியதற்கு நன்றி.

Dear Sir Mani Ratnam, watched your movie ponniyin Selvan:1 @ souq waqif - Nova Theatre, Doha, Qatar.
My ten cents, the movie except for two issues was brilliant in all aspects.
One the role given to malayalam actor Lal, was not actor-role complianced. It looked unreal as a grandfather, he was fitted with a 45 year old healthy figure. There was there the spelling mistake in theatric excellence.
Another major setback were for the fight scenes. In a grade of 1 to 10, we can only vouch 5 marks for all the stunt directorial excellence.
Trust these observations will challenge for better fruitions.
Otherwise, the artistic genius of the extraordinaré king-moviemaker, mani ratnam sir, as expected, were all over, with footprints that can never be matched by another. Salutations to the fine movie maker.
Thank you for making my friend & my day exciting & fulfilling.

ReplyDeleteHello sir i am prakash MBA graduated so iam looking for the asistent directed job so pleas sir any offer for me.,
ReplyDeleteDear Manirathnam Sir, Good Afternoon. Trust all well at your end. Thought of sharing my feedback and comments about the recent film -PS2. I have a great regards for your talent. However, in this picture, the entire image was tarnished. The Chola's history was completely misinterpreted in your version of story. Adiya Karikalan was murdered by 4 persons. This was well inscripted in Cuddalore temples built by Raja Raja Cholan. Even in Kalki's novel is not matching with your story. Also, he was killed thru a long range poisoned weapons. Pooniyan Chelvan main story would be how he ruled his kingdom, about his navy strength and how he

வணக்கம்,
ReplyDeleteநான் “பாகி” எனப் பரவலாக அறியப்படும் முனைவர் பா. கிருஷ்ணன். தினமணியின் ஓய்வுபெற்ற செய்தி ஆசிரியர். பல படங்களில் தோன்றியும் இருக்கிறேன்.
சில கருத்துகளைத் தெரிவிக்க நீண்ட காலம் ஆகிறது. இது இயற்கை. அந்த வகையில் மணி ரத்தினத்தின் “காற்று வெளியிடை” படம் குறித்த ஒரே ஒரு பார்வை. (ஆனால், விளக்கம் பெரிதாகத்தான் இருக்கும், வேறு வழியில்லை)
இந்தப் படம் வெளியான போது இந்தத் தலைப்பு வரியை பாரதியின் வரியாக நினைத்துப் பேசியவர்கள்தான் ஏராளமானோர். நியூஸ் 18 தமிழ் அலைவரிசையில் கூட அப்படித்தான் குறிப்பிட்டார்கள். ஆனால், இது பாரதி வரியல்ல. மணிரத்தினத்தின் வரி. அதுதான் சரி.
சொல்கிறேன்.
மகாகவி பாரதியின் புகழ்பெற்ற அந்தப் பாடலின் வரி இப்படித்தான் உள்ளது:
“காற்று வெளியிடைக் கண்ணம்மா….”
இதுலே என்னய்யா பெரிசா கண்டுட்டே… என்ற மைன்ட் வாய்ஸ் கேட்கிறது. கொஞ்சம் நில்லுங்க சார்.
புலமைப் பித்தன் ஒருமுறை சொல்லியிருக்கிறார்: “காலைத் தூக்க மாத்திரை சாப்பிட்டான்” என்று எழுதுவதற்கும் “காலை தூக்க மாத்திரை சாப்பிட்டான்” என்று எழுதுவதற்கும் ஏராளமான வித்தியாசங்கள் உண்டு.
“காலைத் தூக்க மாத்திரை சாப்பிட்டான்” என்றால், “காலைத் தூக்குபவதற்கு மாத்திரை சாப்பிட்டான்” என்று பொருள். “காலை தூக்க மாத்திரை சாப்பிட்டான்” என்றால், “காலையில் தூக்க மாத்திரை சாப்பிட்டான்” என்பது பொருள்.
நான் ஒரு முறை சொன்னேன்: மலர் குழல் என்பது வேறு, மலர்க்குழல் என்பது வேறு.
மலர் குழல் என்றால் வினைத் தொகை என்பார்கள். மலர்ந்த கூந்தல், மலர்கின்ற கூந்தல், மலரப் போகும் கூந்தல் என்று அர்த்தம் வேறுபட்டு வரும்.
மலர்க்குழல் என்றால், மலர்கள் நிறைந்த கூந்தல் என்று அர்த்தம்.
இப்படி தமிழில் ஒற்று மிகுவதற்கும் மிகாமல் இருப்பதற்கும் தனித்தனி அர்த்தம் அறிவியல் அடிப்படையில் அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
எனவே, “காற்று வெளியிடை கண்ணம்மா” என்பதற்கு “காற்று வெளியிலே இருக்கும் கண்ணம்மாவே…” என்று பொருள்.
ஆனால், “காற்று வெளியிடைக் கண்ணம்மா” என்பதற்கு, “காற்றைப் போல் மிக மிக மிக மெல்லிதாக - - கண்ணுக்கே தெரியாத அளவுக்கு -- மெலிதான இடையைக் கொண்டிருக்கும் கண்ணம்மாவே…” என்பது பொருள்.
பாருங்களேன்,
எல்லோரும் பெண்ணின் இடையை உடுக்கையப் போல் சிறுத்தது, கொடியைப் போல் இளைத்தது, நூலைப் போல் மெல்லியது என்றெல்லாம் பாடினார்கள். இவர்களையெல்லாம் தூக்கிச் சாப்பிட்ட பாரதி, “காற்று வெளியைப் போன்ற இடை” என்று சொல்லிவிட்டு ஜாலியாகப் போய்விட்டான்! அதான் மகாகவியின் ஸ்டைல்!
I have a script, where do I submit it ?
ReplyDeleteWish to work with you sir
ReplyDeleteWish to work with you, already an actor in malayalam film.
