National Award-winning filmmaker Mani Ratnam, who last directed the magnum opus, the two part ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, shared an anecdote from his schooling days, when he would watch a film on the pretext of studying with friends.
The filmmaker who is known for films such as ‘Roja’, ‘Thiruda Thiruda’, ‘Bombay’, ‘Iruvar’, ‘Alaipayuthey’, ‘Yuva’, ‘Guru’ and others, recently spoke with filmmaker Imtiaz Ali during the Masterclass of Mami Mumbai Film Festival.
He spoke about his childhood days and also shared when his interest in cinema turned into a passion.
Mani Ratnam said: “Before I got into films I was just a cinema-goer, because I liked this world of films. I never thought I would choose cinema as a profession. I just used to go theatres every Friday and tell my parents that I’ll be away for group study with my friends but I would be in theatres watching a movie during that time.

Review‘Kushi’ isn’t strikingly original. But the treatment of a familiar story, with a gentle push towards introspection, makes all the difference.Kushi, directed by Shiva Nirvana who is known for his films on messy relationships, brings together an atheist and a conservative Brahmin in a marriage that goes against the wishes of their respective families. Religion is an especially touchy subject in our current political climate, and it takes a fair amount of courage to place it at the heart of a romcom. The intervention of art is sometimes needed to remind us that the angry, volatile debates we have around such issues don’t exist in a vacuum, but concern human beings who come with their share of baggage and complexities. Vijay Deverakonda plays Viplav – meaning revolution – a Bsnl employee and the son of Lenin Satyam (Sachin Khedekar), a renowned atheist. He’s a Mani Ratnam fan...

ReviewTakkar is a typical road movie with all the usual ingredients — a car drive on a highway, intimacy in a motel, the protagonist going through a crisis, and a self-discovery. The entry of Gunasekar, played by actor Siddharth, in filmmaker Karthik G Krish’s Takkar reminds one of the stylish and memorable introduction of Madhavan in Alaipayuthey. Except, the staging in Takkar is intended to be funny. Gunasekar regrets being born into a poor family, and his ultimate goal is to become rich. He tries his hand at numerous jobs but does not compromise on self-respect, losing many opportunities in the process. Whether or not his perspective will change after a journey with Lakshmi (Divyansha Kaushik) forms the plot of the story. Takkar is a typical road movie with all the regular ingredients — a car drive on a highway, intimacy in a motel, the protagonist going through a crisis, and a self-discovery.

ReviewIf Kalki’s literary magnum opus belongs to Arunmozhi Varman, Mani Ratnam’s film belongs to Aditha Karikalan. And who can resist Vikram when he’s at the top of his game?Courtesy: Twitter/ Lyca ProductionsThe first part of Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan, co-written with Jeyamohan and Elango Kumaravel, began with Aditha Karikalan (Vikram) defeating the Rashtrakutas but refusing to behead their king. He circles the king on his horse, but when the moment arrives, his face clouds with a memory. He knocks off his headgear instead of his head. This is a battle-ready, aggressive prince but his rage is directed most at himself. The love he once harboured has twisted itself into hate. The first film ended with Arunmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi) falling into the sea, but the second film doesn’t begin from there. Instead, it goes back to that love story once again. A young Karikalan...

The A R Rahman-composed “Chola Chola” track from Mani Ratnam’s upcoming epic period action film “Ponniyin Selvan: I”, which was released on Friday, has a rhythm rooted in the cultural of Tamil Nadu and is sung in praise of the Chola emperor, Rajaraja Chola I.
The song brings back the combination of Mani Ratnam and Rahman, who have earlier given memorable soundtracks to Indian cinema with “Roja”, “Iruvar”, “Dil Se…”, “Alaipayuthey” and “Yuva”, to name a few.
The song uses South Indian folk instruments in a big way with a prominent percussion section. Composer Vishal Mishra has gone behind the mic with Swagat Rathod to lend his voice to the lyrics of the veteran Mehboob.
The orchestra brings together the sound produced by three powerful forces: Chennai Strings, the A.R. Rahman Foundation-based Sunshine Orchestra and Budapest Art Orchestra.

Flix FlashbackIn #WatchWithTNM this week, we revisit the Vijay-Shalini romance that's still etched in the minds of the Tamil audience. Anjana ShekarYouTube ScreengrabBefore playing the practical, plain-speaking Shakthi in Mani Ratnam’s Alaipayuthey (2000), a film which is an evergreen favourite for many, actor Shalini played Mini, a demure, undecided, loved-by-all woman who is torn between her family that dotes on her and the man she loves. The film we’re talking about is the 1997 hit flick Kadhalukku Mariyadhai, directed by Fazil. While the film won actor Vijay, who was then called 'Ilaiya Thalapathy', his first Tamil Nadu State Award for Best Actor, actor Shalini held the audience's attention just as much. This was surprising because the actor barely speaks in the film, not counting the pre-climax dialogue. Shalini, however, had played the same role to critical acclaim in the Malayalam original Aniathipravu opposite Kunchacko Boban. 23 years since the Tamil film released,...

Flix FlashbackWhen Madhavan's smiling face appeared onscreen, riding a bike and listening to 'Endrendum Punnagai' on his earphones, I promptly fell in love. Sowmya RajendranAlaipayuthey came out when I was a hormonal teenager of 14 years. As ardent fans of Ar Rahman, all of us possessed a cassette of the film's music and knew every song before we watched it on the big screen. 'Pachchai Niramey', 'Kadhal Sadugudu', 'Mangalyalm', 'Yaro Yarodi' and 'Endrendrum Punnagai' were instant favourites. 'Snehithane' and 'Evano Oruvan' grew on us with every rewind -- it helped that we could picture the delectable Madhavan while listening to the music. The screechy 'September Madham' was tolerated because the rest of the album was so good. And of course, the recasting of 'Alaipayuthey', a devotional carnatic song, as a romantic number had most of us in raptures. I watched the film in Abirami Theatre in Chennai's Purasaiwalkam...
