It will be interesting to see who Mani picks as a replacement for his next. oh and I think we should credit Sujatha for the dialogues as well.

Wanted to share something with you. I do usually browse thru ar rahman fan sites to know what all the other fans express bout him, but this is my first time in expressing it...usually it was just rahman's music and myself... I read in one of ur blogs u met rahman and was tongue tied ------ I can understand when u said that you were tongue tied when u actually saw A R RAHMAN in front of u…..the reason is that i have met him when he was in here in Pune for the Premeire of kisna with all other celebs. I have been following his music since ‘i ever started likin music actually’. when i saw him, i went to him, walked almost eleven steps with him, told him ‘ I listen to ur music day in n out, its made me live a different life’, he said’ touching my jacket under which i was wearing a Tee with his name imprinted on it “Do u speak tamil?’, and i couldnt asnwer to it cos i was shivering when i heard him talk man….. i did not enter the screen as i was shivering for almost 30 mins and then called dad on his cell and told him that i actually met Rahman. One moment in life i will treasure till i die. Thanks Rahman, Thank god for making this happen! Hi aparna,

I think the pace of his movies will itself will be a good topic for a post >That movie had a lot of other hard hitting dialogues as well. Yup. I too liked many dialogues in Aayaitha Ezhuthu. Will try to write about the dialogues in Mani Ratnam's movies. Thanks for the idea :) Bharath,

Guru was the most classic example of such slick editing - I haven't seen an Indian film where the editing has been as slick (Aishwarya runs away while the song is going on, Ay Hairathe plays in two parts while the movie continues)... Agree with you about Thiruda Thiruda - The movie slows down in the second half but I'll always put that movie as one of his experiments... Rahmans music is brilliant though and I'll regard this as one of his few albums where all his songs are great! Pace of movie - Only Kannathil, Nayagan and Anjali in that order seem to have a good pace - Not too fast and not rushed in the second half... Dialogues - Im sure you can do a separate post on dialogues in Mani Rathnam's films - I dont think any other filmmaker has such crisp dialogues in his films. He keeps it short, sweet and simple - Which probably makes the dialogues more hard hitting. Some of the ones I remember are Meera Jasmine telling Madhavan that she aborted not because of the child's fault but because its his kid... That movie had a lot of other hard hitting dialogues as well.. Alai Payuthey has great dialogues too - The classic one being "I love you - Dont know what it means - But I wont jump from the train"... Will wait for your post on dialogues :) Yep you’re right I think its to do with the length of his films… Guru was the most classic example of such slick editing - I haven’t seen an Indian film where the editing has been as slick (Aishwarya runs away while the song is going on, Ay Hairathe plays in two parts while the movie continues)…
