subramanian1408 While watching the movie, if you did not know who the director was or if you missed the title credits of the movie, I bet you would have considered this a Mani Ratnam product. After having given movies like Keladi Kanmani, Aasai, Nerukku Ner, Appu and Rhythm, I wonder what more Vasanth needs to do to gain recognition. Undoubtedly, he is one of the few very best directors Tamil Cinema has ever produced. The subjects that he touches upon are so thematic and meaningful to the society. He is such a gem and yet not a single national honour for him? National honour is a different issue. At least, he must be recognised in Tamil Cinema. When people name the best directors of Tamil cinema, the names that come out are K.Balachander, Mani Ratnam, Bharathi raja, Balu Mahendra. Vasanth is easily in their league with such high quality film making to his credit.Oh, as for the movie, this is seriously a must watch. This movie was actually a flop at the box office which goes to show the kind of dumb audience we have for Tamil Cinema. Only uncouth people will not like this movie!A must watch classic! 9.4/10
