Mani Ratnam, he is man of excellence, What a director he is.Excellent taking.Though he is a Tamilian by birth but he has his deep impact on Telugu also.Started his career with Pallavi Anupallavi a Kannada Movie in 1984 (iam not sure), then Mounaragam in 1985 is a blockbuster in Telugu cinema.Then with Nayakudu in 1987 he created history and draws everybody attention towards him, I like Nayakudu movie alot inspired from Godfather an englis movie, but taking is excellent as usual Kamal sir acting is excellent.Then Gharshana in 1988 a relation between two step brothers, taking is excellent, then Great film in Telugu cinema Geetanjali in 1989 is my favourite movie, Nagarjuna is upcoming actor at that time & girija as Geetanjali done very well, Mani taking in entire frame is awesome.Mainly his attachement with great illayara is great.Then Dhalapathi with Rajini Kanth, Donga Donga, Bombay journey continues, later I dint like his films but with Sakhi in 2000 I led alot it clearly shows relation between couple before & after marriage.
Then Guru, recently Raavan not a great movies but he remains special in India Cinema, , ,
