Magician...
Public holiday amidst a week, does not act as a catalyst for an outing to Aussie Outback. The only option left out is to relax back at home experimenting on cooking or reading or watching movies or working. The least preferred is the last while the most preferred one is the penultimate.
Whilst in Singapore, I had watched "Dalapathi" ( Maniratnam-Mamotty-Ranikanth tamil starrer)and was more impressed with Mani's school of direction. After watching those tamil movies of 80's, when you watch "Dil Se" or even "Guru", you feel the shadow of Mani at work and not himself.
Of all his works prior to Roja, have watched "Nayakan", "Anjali", "Dalapathi" only. Yeah, after "Roja" he was a household name, so no one would have missed his movies. But there is lot of intriguing contrast compared to his previous direction and the present.
B.Rangan, one of the renowned film-writer, writes about a phenomenon called Mani Ratnam here . And yeah read till the end, on why Box-Office has changed the real Mani.
