Entha period-la? What abt Directors like KamalHassan, Baarathi raja etc.

IMHO

Kamal could be another maniratnam if he took the direction in full fledge.

Though Kamal directed very good movies like Hey Ram,Mahanathi,Dever magan and Virumandi, he is not on par with Mani.

I hope he would over take Mani in another 2 years.But definitely KH is one of very good writer/Director of Indian cinema.

Guru is in fact a very well made movie out of a simple script. You hvae to appreciate the director for the movie. In fact this movie is a lesson to Kollywood

a) You lose quality directors if the market is crap. We get only directors like Simbu..... who claim they are world class.
b) Heroes like Ajith, Vijay,Visha,Simbu etc.etc. all need to learn what is acting before asking their fans to drench their cutouts in milk,beer and what not.
c)Hindi market takes bigger movies and has got appreciation for it whereas when Kamal took Hey Ram there was no great support though script was brilliant.
d)Tamil cinema if it goes this way will soon become worst than Kannada and will only get pokkiris, alwars and vallavans...

Nerd Mani is currently India's best director but compared to adoor gopalakrishnan and satyajit ray at the time and perhaps K Balachander he is still behind the race.

First let him make an honest attempt in scripting an original story.
I am of the opinion that I can write much better screenplays than Saturn .

All his screenplays are original though most of them are inspirations

Only Mouna Raagam deserves appreciation . He did a commendable job in picturising the blossoming of marital love in a woman who was at loggerheads with her husband. The rest can be dismissed as jokes.

Hey man give me a chance. I'll prove my worth 8-)

I think mouna ragam also inspired by Mahendiran's Nenjathai killadhey.
