That is how we are all too, sometime we behave like fool and other time not so bad. The way you narrate a tale and how much possible the realism you can input will leave much significant impact on the audience.

Im a huge Mani Ratnam fan myself but i hadn't thought about this aspect of relationships that he shows in his movies. It was an insightful read. A very very good post!!

It is among the best movies ever produced in Tamil cinema. Raavan has a different kind of feel. I enjoyed it, anyhow. But - Alaipayuthey.... wowwww, after all these years. Thanks for flooding me with the memories. Cheers and Deepavali wishes. Love it when you write about Alaipayuthey. It is among the best movies ever produced in Tamil cinema.

Thank you Bharath, Thanks. Though I agree that he has shown the relationships in a few scenes itself, Raavan didn't leave such an impact on me! Looks like I have to see it a few more times. His recent earlier films were all 2 hrs 15 min or less. Kartik, Welcome to my blog! Thanks. I am not a fan of Kamal. Madhu, Welcome to my blog! Alaipayuthey wasn't just about physical attraction and so was Revathy & Karthik's. Doesn't she get to see the good things that Karthik does for others? Deepak, Martina & Shobana,

Bharath,

But I am put off how he portrays the act of falling in love. It's more like falling in love in a hurry, and then spending time to actually understand each other.. and that's probably where real love starts. His 'initial love' is probably more inclined towards infatuation or physical attraction - I mean, how did they fall in love in Alaipayuthey? Dil Se? Bombay? Comparing to these other movies, I think Mouna Raagam is a gem. Even though Revathi's attraction for Karthik in Mouna Raagam is a little like that, fortunately, they show that those two actually spend time with each other to understand each other.
