What if the two end up liking each other? Only Mani Sir could have the vision to see the epic in such terms. The wife is kidnapped by a powerful leader to settle scores and kept in captivity. My alltime favourite film of his, Thalapathy, was a takeoff on Karna's story set in modern times. This, however, is not Mani Sir's first nod at our ancient epics. Was Ram right in asking the virtuous Sita to undergo an agni-pariksha? You can debate the two epics endlessly, which accounts for their timelessness. Raavan is the villain, yes, but he was not one till he lost his heart to a married woman and kidnapped her. Ram is the hero, divinity personified, but he still killed Vali unfairly. Like the Mahabharat, the Ramayan is an amazing epic, containing within it every emotion possible apart from telling you that goodness and evil are not black and white concepts. Having just emerged from a marathon session of film-watching, let me say this: I would never watch the same film in different languages one after the other for anyone except Mani Sir. Naturally, then, the wait was to see Raavanan and Raavan to decide if I was being biased in favour of his Tamil work. Still, I've always found his films appealed more in Tamil than in Hindi - surprisingly, even the all-new Yuva was not as good as its Tamil counterpart, a viewpoint shared by many of my bilingual friends. To me Mani Sir's films have always been about the native idiom which, in a vast, diverse culture as ours doesn't translate easily - the reason why he must have decided to make two films at one go. You can take a Tamil director out of Tamil Nadu, but you can't take Tamil Nadu out of him. With Aytha Ezhuthu/Yuva he tried a new tack - making the same film in two languages, with a different cast. After some time he must have realised that dubbing a Tamil film into Hindi doesn't make you a Hindi director. Roja took in its sweep both the tumultuous north and the placid south, but it can't happen every time with every film. The seasoned Mani Sir knows that ultimately it's the story and the telling.

And I am not talking only in terms of the plot, but the audience too.įew, if any, directors have consistently bridged the north-south divide in sensibilities. Ever since Roja, Mani Ratnam has wanted to go pan-Indian.
