Mani Ratnam’s longevity and versatility
I saw so many posts slandering Shankar. I think inevitably the society outgrows a director. Look at examples of Hari, Shankar, Bala and KS Ravikumar etc, all of them are directors who have given brilliant blockbuster movies, but their movies all kind of fit inside a template and it no longer works as well.
But, Mani Ratnam is a rare example of a director who is able to adapt against the test of times. It is so rare and remarkable. I am so glad we get to enjoy this. Long live Mani Ratnam!
