I meant even if he goes to his best work that is the style, but I agree can he make a thalapathy today which was closest to a multi-starrer, big film I dont think so

he lost his confidence after dil se and never seemed to come back fully

times also have changed, his style of realism mixed with music and some commercial elements is gone,

Fully agree. I mean, there is a hell lot of difference between MRs earlier films and the recent ones. Also earlier ARR's music used to pour soul into the movie, even Kannathil Muthamittal for that matter. Then eventually that was also gone.

Earlier, I was always more inclined towards ARR over Illaiyaraja because of my age or whatever, but over time, I think I have been going back to the latter's songs more.

Tbh , I was expecting something epic .. the teaser looks disappointing especially the vfx and background music…..Aishu janu and Trisha look like mannequins as they were expected to look ..

Wow. That looks amazing. Is it based on chola empire?

BW is gonna cry some more.

incoporating cgi in films is an art, so far only shankar and rajamouli have mastered it, with years and years of trial and error

the plus point of this movie will be the story, it is literature masterpiece so there it is on solid ground but the problem will also be tamil people will compare book to movie, for others it doesnt matter

casting is a big dampner, except karthi others just dont have it

Oh lord yeah, I still remember that animated girl in that girlfriend song from boys. 😆

I seem to be agreeing with you a lot, except for may be on the forum's regular/usual Alia debate.

agree, can't believe he arr scored for heropanti

another mistake he did was he doesn't do telugu films, I think because he did a few in that era where they were very low brow, masala and totally lost interest but times have changed, he did heropanti and rejected shyam singha roy (listen to those soongs if you haven't, there are period portions in calcutta and some lovely songs by mickey j meyer are there witha great semi classical dance by sai pallavi)

I am illaiyaraja camp firmly, i am older, he followed his heart, arr his head

he did so many movies with smaller unknown filmakers even now because the subject resonates and there are so many classics there because of that

arr doesnt do that afaik

i also give great credit to keeravani, baahubali was truly great, not easy

Was thinking how to describe the teaser and one redditor on r/chennai described it perfectly - Looks like Joy Alluka's Sangam collection 🤣

Omg 🤣🤣

I liked the teaser but bruh this is so on point.

When you make something like this the first thing should be to invest in some good VFX. WTF is this cheap looking VFX for a film of such a scale? Half the shots look like leftovers from Baahubali 🤪

Just when I thought finally there was some movie to look forward to, someone has to come and spoil the party. Kabhi khush mat hone dena. 😭

On second watch, the teaser looks rushed. Some of the frames look like copy-paste of GOT and Bahubali. Man, Maniratnam really lost the plot somewhere along the way. The saving grace would be acting for sure - there are some heavy weights like Karthi, Vikram, Trisha and Aish (if she can pull off). I wish they had chosen someone like Keeravani for music. His soundtracks ate always golden for epic periods. Part of the reason why Rajamouli always goes to him. They are a combined package.

I strongly feel this would be better if watched in Tamil. Hindi just doesn't do it for me.

I wouldn't actually put Aish and Trisha in heavyweight acting category, they are fine, definetly can carry these roles unlike the new gen but not the level of say a Ramya krishna, shobhana for mythological/historical especially this kind you have heavy dialogues and you need gravitas to do that, also this character has many shades.

don't even know if aish can dub such heavy duty dialogues in tamil

mr should not have played safe and gone with maybe a aishwarya rajesh (trying to think of other names)

Is this movie good? I had watched the song with Sai Pallavi's semi-classical dance, it was beautiful but haven't listened to the other songs. I haven't been watching Nani's movies lately, last was Jersey, I guess.

Ever since SPB's demise, I have been going back to a lot of IR's tracks, they are such a treasure trove. Have always admired him but the whole 90s kid being in love with ARR music was the dominant half somehow. Now I happily go back to Sundari Kannal even though it makes my heart a bit heavy. 😆
