BR making thali observations and blowing my mind 5 minutes into the interview. I smiled even before clicking on the video for him to meet his dream director. I am not disappointed.
Wow.. this just feels like reunion of Kamal and Sridevi! I mean, so much of love and mutual respect between these two. And Hii to GVM who will definitely be watching this interview with awe like so many fans of Mani sir 😇
Sridevi...Don't bring her again and again....She has gone deceiving us all from the day she got married and trapped herself in a densed jungle without the means of escape
Vanakkam! The opening fight reminded Gladiator, the scenes between Vikram and Vikram Prabhu, the sea shore fight in Sri Lanka reminded of Troy, the secne where Karthi was alone in the sea reminded of Life of Pai, the rescue scenes of Oomai Rani reminded of The Lord of the Rings. the fight sequence of Karthi at the Fort reminded of The Scirpion King. Apart from these things the characterization is well handled. The cinematography and the lighting is enjoyable. The costumes and the use of jewellery takes the audience to the time. Sure there will be orders pouring into many jewellery shops atleast in Tamilnadu. All the characters are well portrayed by the seasoned artists of our film industry. The background music and the songs are delivered well by A R Rahman. Well choreographed dances by Brindha. Lovely lines by the lyricists. Thank you Mr. Mani Ratnam- PONNIYIN SELVAN- Part-1.
Learned many things from this beautiful conversation. About Movies, history, technical aspects and many others. There’s no way you can’t admire this genius Mr. Maniratnam.
manirtnam's films are way overrated. jayalalitha herself has said this. this man plays his politics thorugh movies. Kalki krishnamoorthy played politics with his pen with PS. PS is written to distract people from true history of cholas. read 1949 history of cholas by research historian Sadasiva Pandrathar. 1950 immediately kalki writes this novel to distract people played his poitics as it was 4 brahmin men who killed aditya karikalan and kalki was a brahmin. maniratnam is anti dravidian and is a brahmin too.
This interview is a library for most of the young directors. And Barad really hats off for your choice of questions man.. we getting breezy feel in your interviews which away from others most common interviews which was always having the questions like “Do you like Ajith or Vijay”
I have heard enough people say that Mani sir hasn’t evolved with the changing times, but the Q/A on the Thaali/Mangalsutra shows clearly how much he stays relevant and sometimes probably more forward than the rest of the society
What's wrong if people still believe in thaali?? This mani doesn't believe in Hinduism, not only him but his entire family, his wife too.. Entire hasan family who get funds from missionary!!
BR started with "Hello MR". Maniratnam pleasantly acknowledged with smile. I don't recollect any interviewers called him like that. Looks like BR has great rapport with MR. 😃.
It's almost as if Mani Ratnam has the best possible, already well thought out answer to each of Baradwaj Rangan's brilliant questions. Love the interview/conversation!
That question about costume detailing (metal armour vs leather) was superb. Cannot imagine another interviewer asking something as simple, yet interesting as this. And Mani Sir's answer was just as perfect as Baddy's question was.
Its so happy to see such an awesome interaction of two maestros in their own field of work!🔥 BR - Mani Sir Interview are always like an Institutional Film Class for those wanted to become a film maker!❤
@@colorkannadis he is a national award winning critic and listen to his questions analysis and compare with your other interviews you will get your answer
I actually like BR when he analyzes movies other than Maniratnam or Kamal. I feel he is too fan boyish with these two ppl that some of his questions are a bit naive. I mean asking how do you keep yourself updated ? I mean any good director would adapt to the times - that what a good director does, so it’s not a miracle. Even in an earlier interview like Katru Veliyidai he had such fan boyish questions when the movie wasn’t actually good and lacked a crisp screenplay.
@@jeyabalanthony9759 I am totally capable of judging the movie Katru Veliyidai as a viewer and this interaction as an observer. You don’t have to agree to it but you don’t need a degree to say whether you feel the question was genuine or not ;) that’s called point of view.
Vanakkam! The opening fight reminded the opening fight sequence of Gladiator, the scenes between Vikram and Vikram Prabhu, the sea shore fight in Sri Lanka reminded of Troy, the secne where Karthi was alone in the sea reminded of Life of Pi, the rescue scenes of Oomai Rani reminded of The Lord of the Rings. the fight sequence of Karthi at the Fort reminded of The Scirpion King. Apart from these things, the characterization is well handled. The cinematography and the lighting are enjoyable. The costumes and the use of jewellery take the audience to the time. Sure, there will be orders pouring into many jewellery shops at least in Tamilnadu. All the characters are well portrayed by the seasoned artists of our film industry. The background music and the songs are delivered well by A R Rahman. Well, choreographed dances by Brindha. Lovely lines by the lyricists. The sets are designed as close to reality by Thotta Tharani. Thank you, Mr. Mani Ratnam- PONNIYIN SELVAN- Part-1.
The movie was epic and cool!!! First of all a shoutout and applause to the technical team behind the movie.. Art Director: Thotta Tharani, DOP: Ravi Varman, Music and BGM: ARR and also kudos to the make up and costume designers... The 'story' is the king and the 'captain' is the director. Director Mani Ratnam sir has showcased and showed justice to the Novel written by Kalki Krishnamurthy sir... If Kalki sir was with us now, he must have praised Mani sir for the movie created. Star cast has shown great performance for the roles given to them. Let it be Vikram, Aishwarya Rai and Lekshmi, Trisha, Parthiben, Nasar, Lal, Prabhu, Karthik, Jayaram and all other Co stars everybody has done their part so well.. Here, story is the king hence Mani sir, without imjecting too much mass into the movie, he went according to the book. Mass performances were all suttle without any single character over doing anything. Even though Jayam Ravi performed well, ofcourse he's a good character, I felt instead of him an other actor would have performed a bit more better. That doesn't mean he didn't show justice to the character but still...... The way Ravi Varman captured frames in this movie was outstanding. He bought out all the beauty of the women characters in this movie. By focusing more on them.... Especially I loved the scene before interval where Vikram talks about the past and the camera was on him for good 5-7 minutes. Not only this there are 'N' number of other scenes as well. . ARR as usual has proved his music scores. Very well scored the bgm for the movie according to the pace of the movie.. Not concerned abt CGI or Vfx.. Proper hardcore Tamil language is used in the movie, hence subtitles helped me and I will again watch the Malayalam version as well. I heard dubbing for all the languages were perfect. Climax has been a bit confused and it concluded well for the 2nd part.. I haven't read the novel so far, hence I shall buy the Malayalam or English version and will read it.. **** Brilliant movie**** Eagerly waiting for the 2nd part and please please do not do a comparison with RRR, Bahubali or KGF.. This is purely story based and not action based... ❤❤❤❤❤
A calm zen interview with the gem- Manirathnam. Mani demystifies and any aspiring film maker can directly take whatever he says literally - there is no false note - He is keeping it real. Thanks Baradwaj for your raw enthusiasm as usual
When I listen to Chithirai Nila, my entire childhood flashes inside my head. I lost my dad at a very early age and had to face the hard realities of kith, kin and life. Its like a ready to consume tonic of sadness that takes me back to my past in seconds. Music is magic
This man is the greatest film maker of all times of Indian history....he transports himself into an imaginary world and brings it out for the audience to experience....that's pure magic. Like some jump into the sea and bring out the most beautiful coral or an exotic pearl .
Oh boy! what an interview!. It was like every fan's everlasting curiosity of wanting to ask those questions like how did he pull off certain crucial scenes and like how did he conceive certain pathbreaking screenplay choreography techniques which only he could have imagined and Bharadwaj has put exactly those questions right there to the much delight of fans like me. I think this is exactly how an interview should be and its been literally ages since I have enjoyed watching the whole interview of someone whom I have admired and inspired by the casting of his creative spell since 'Mouna Raagam'.
When i watched Mouna Ragam, i felt the movie is ahead of its time, and again it happened after watching Alaipayuthey but when i watch OK kanmani, somewhere made me feel it could have happened little early.
BR,finalllllyyyyy...just this afternoon I was wondering as to why there isnt one interview on Galatta plus with PS 1 getting released in 2 days,then there is this interview up.. thank you sir😇
Gold standard...each word is worth of pure gold. You are always up ur toes in awe when the master explains his craft just like a magician speaks about his work.

Classic interview....just keep wondering all the time on how BR can get in to such details in his movie viewing and when he questions about the same to the director they just echo it...awesome
Thank you for this interview!! Mani Ratnam is such an inspiration for passion to one's work, the hardwork and honesty one has to one's dream and just the intelligence and sensitivity to craft, is mind-boggling and awe-inspiring!! One can listen to him forever and still learn as a technician, as a creative person and as a human!! Just wow!!
BR is probably the only interviewer that actually listens to the celebrities and asks intelligent questions. His curiosity about the celebrities is endearing to watch... Waiting for someone that interviews BR himself!
It was a masterclass. Thank you BR for your analytical and interesting questions. His explanations are a treat to watch for budding creators. Mani sir legend for a reason.
One of the best interviews where the interviewer and interviewed are very very informative and bharatwaj brought out everything inside mani rathnam. Mani, a man of few words is made repeat made to pour out whatever was in his mind. Kudos bharathwaj both for your interview and your very very deep knowledge on good cinema.
When the conversation was about Mani Ratnam painting his biggest and most expensive canvas in PS1 and the fact that he was at his happiest doing that, I was eagerly looking forward to Bhardwaj asking the question: do you look back now and think, maybe I should've been as happy or less stressful doing my earlier movies? I would've loved to hear what MR said to that.
A great interview.what an observation by the interviewer,seems like he has done a research on mani ratnam movies.classic questions nd brilliant answers by Mani sir.Mani sir is a maestro of movies.The unique way of presenting subtle feelings ..only mani sir can create such wonders. Loved PS1 so much.. wishing to watch it again..great movie amazing making🫡
Roja is a huge inspiration for Hanu Raghavapudi to create SitaRamam🦋 plot is slightly smiliar but ending is diffrent even the male lead characters say the particular word *Curfew*
Hanu is like a poor man's MR. Sitaramam feels like indianized Dr Zhivago made with the distinct stamp of MR /ARR . There are numerous shots inspired from Roja / Bombay / Dil se and music also sounds so similar to Rahman's style.
Thanks so much. It really takes a special skill to ask the kind of questions that BR asks, and because of that talent, we are able to get the insights and skills of a genius. Really enjoyed it. A Master's class in film art.
Baradwaj Sir, your questions came truly from audience's perspective, for a while I thought you were asking some of my own personal questions to Mani Ratnam sir! It was bang on, crisp and clear, with a lot of deep learning and detailing.. An encyclopedia for upcoming Film-makers, Pre & Post Production techinicians 💯💯😍👍👌
BR, Loved Devaralan Attam by ARR. It reminds me of Kamal's Virumandi which released 18 years ago. It had some awesome song by Ilaiyaraja, "Andha Kaandaamani", so rustic, non-melodic, and rooted in the natural rhythm, which so beautifully complemented what was on screen.

2 very sensible people interacting. It's so satisfying n interesting to listen to .Only when certain people speak one can concentrate for hours without ur mind wandering away there's always so much to take away from Mani sirs creative beautiful young mind.
Ondanondu Kaladalli is the best of the Kannada cinema that not got it's due till shot in the forests of Dandeli and villages of North Karnataka thanks BR for shedding some light and great to know it's your favourite in historic genre
Vowww what an interview .. the depth of mani sir was so beautiful ly essayed.. ur questions were so apt and so diverse .. thank u for bringing forth so much of knowledge 😊
Addicted to 1hr interviews now a days. Through this cinematography knowledge I am sure I will get 10x of experience what I am paying for movie tickets.
Mr Manirathnam is someone who is perfect and flawless craftsman as far as film makers are concerned...This interview is testimony of such narrative of him...Every budding filmmaker should see this masterpiece conversation between these two and emulate themselves to shape up their future career...
Good to hear what Ondaanondu Kaaladalli ( Once Upon a Time ) the Kannada cult film by Girish Karnad means to you guys! That truly was an Indian take of cinematic experience in the mould of Akira Kurasova! Brilliant! 👍
17:22 Chikkamagaluru & Ondanondu Kaaladalli 💛❤ Shankar Nag's debut movie. Girish Karnad directorial Kannada Film, a Pure homage to Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai! Mani Sir can't forget the songs of your debut movie Pallavi Anu Pallavi till date "Naguva Nayana Madhura Mouna" always special.
Wow 👍.. Mani sir is so humble..was waiting for his interview... accept your failures & move ahead.. beautifully said by Mani sir.. actually this is relevant to all people... especially students who commit suicide for getting low marks...it is so stupid. .. they have a long way to go .. life is not a bed of roses.. people will be scratched by the thorns in a rose garden.. it is inevitable..
Hanging thali to missing thali to no thali, sokkaa sonaiyaa, idhellam appadiyey thaanaa vararduillai (MMKR dialogue) hats off for connecting so many dots throughout the interview.
Nothing to take away from Ravi varman.The visuals look stunning but was imagining what Santhosh Sivan would have brought to the table. Urumi and Asoka look unique.
Dear BR...i think you have lot questions to ask to Mani Ratnam. Because you are interacting with Him many times and your questions not repetitive.wow...
Master of visual media.... Great master of masters... Sir we don't have words for appreciate of your work and thinking... Great sir do it for ever.. don't let down for any anything...
This is the fastest click in my life for an interview
Same here
Yeah same

MANI SIR IS LEGENDARY DIRECTOR FOR OUR SOUTH INDIAN CINEMA INDUSTRY WE SHOULD HONOUR HIM FOR MAKING THE PS-1 ❤️
BR is probably the only interviewer that actually listens to the celebrities and asks intelligent questions. His curiosity about the celebrities is endearing to watch... Waiting for someone that interviews BR himself!
Nice to see two intelligent and knowledgeable professionals interacting, moving away from the stereotype cliches.
It was a masterclass. Thank you BR for your analytical and interesting questions. His explanations are a treat to watch for budding creators. Mani sir legend for a reason.
This is Pure Gold for cine-philes. Mani Ratnam is the God of Indian Cinema. Thank you Galatta Plus : You are the suitable person to interview him.
God😂😂😂😂
Both are legends in their field .
What a learning it was from both ends . 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of the best interviews where the interviewer and interviewed are very very informative and bharatwaj brought out everything inside mani rathnam. Mani, a man of few words is made repeat made to pour out whatever was in his mind. Kudos bharathwaj both for your interview and your very very deep knowledge on good cinema.
When the conversation was about Mani Ratnam painting his biggest and most expensive canvas in PS1 and the fact that he was at his happiest doing that, I was eagerly looking forward to Bhardwaj asking the question: do you look back now and think, maybe I should've been as happy or less stressful doing my earlier movies? I would've loved to hear what MR said to that.
Thanks BR you just made our day more blissful ❤️🥰
Mani sir always have different approach to each films, he makes us feel real with his silent touch. Very excited to watch ps1 with his touch❤
A great interview.what an observation by the interviewer,seems like he has done a research on mani ratnam movies.classic questions nd brilliant answers by Mani sir.Mani sir is a maestro of movies.The unique way of presenting subtle feelings ..only mani sir can create such wonders. Loved PS1 so much.. wishing to watch it again..great movie amazing making🫡
Baradwaj Rangan depth and prep before every interview truly comes forward each and every time you are the best BR in India right now ❤
Just wow !! How or where else can you get a slice of his mind !! Thanks to BR for the questions and technology maybe ;)
Roja is a huge inspiration for Hanu Raghavapudi to create SitaRamam🦋 plot is slightly smiliar but ending is diffrent even the male lead characters say the particular word *Curfew*
Hanu is like a poor man's MR. Sitaramam feels like indianized Dr Zhivago made with the distinct stamp of MR /ARR . There are numerous shots inspired from Roja / Bombay / Dil se and music also sounds so similar to Rahman's style.
@@msitaramaraju Indeed!
மணிரத்னம் ஐயா 😊 special interview 👍
What a fabulous conversation...can listen on and on...
What a interview 🔥🔥🔥pure blessings
Thanks so much. It really takes a special skill to ask the kind of questions that BR asks, and because of that talent, we are able to get the insights and skills of a genius. Really enjoyed it. A Master's class in film art.
Baradwaj Sir, your questions came truly from audience's perspective, for a while I thought you were asking some of my own personal questions to Mani Ratnam sir! It was bang on, crisp and clear, with a lot of deep learning and detailing.. An encyclopedia for upcoming Film-makers, Pre & Post Production techinicians 💯💯😍👍👌
BR, Loved Devaralan Attam by ARR. It reminds me of Kamal's Virumandi which released 18 years ago. It had some awesome song by Ilaiyaraja, "Andha Kaandaamani", so rustic, non-melodic, and rooted in the natural rhythm, which so beautifully complemented what was on screen.
பொன்னியின் செல்வன் படம் இன்று பார்த்தேன்... மிகவும் அருமையாக இருந்தது மணி சார்... அனைத்து நடிகர்களுமே சிறப்பாக நடித்திருந்தார்கள்... வாழ்த்துக்கள்... ஆனால, ஒரு சில விஷயங்கள் தோன்றியது; 1) படத்தில் இரண்டு இடங்களில் பெரிய புத்தர் சிலை வருகிறது, ஆனால் எங்கேயுமே ஒரு சிவன் சிலையை கூட காணவில்லை... பாகுபலி பிரபாஸ் தூக்கிச் செல்வது போல் கூட வேண்டாம், ஆனால் ஒரு சிவலிங்கத்தை வைத்து சிவபக்தன்/பக்தர்கள் வழிபடும் காட்சியாவது வைத்திருக்கலாம்... 2) இப்படத்திற்கு இசை இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் ட்ரெடிஷனலாக (இளையராஜா அவர்கள் பானியில்) இருந்திருக்கலாம்... பாகம் 2 சிவ பக்தர்களுக்கு நல்ல பட்டை பூசி விடுங்கள் மணி சார்... மற்றபடி அனைத்துமே ஃபர்ஸ்ட் கிளாஸ்... ஆவலுடன் அடுத்த பாகத்தை எதிர்பார்க்கிறோம்....
2 very sensible people interacting. It's so satisfying n interesting to listen to .Only when certain people speak one can concentrate for hours without ur mind wandering away there's always so much to take away from Mani sirs creative beautiful young mind.
I got my next interview for a repeat watch 🤩 two of my fav personalities under one roof talking about films 😍
I watch more of these BR interviews than those films , films might fail but baddy doesn't fail . This was the best interview by far ..
Both Ondanondu Kaladalli and Utsav are by Girish Karnad and have Shankar Nag in significant roles
Absolute master class session, discovered more from a cinema perspective.
Ondanondu Kaladalli is the best of the Kannada cinema that not got it's due till shot in the forests of Dandeli and villages of North Karnataka thanks BR for shedding some light and great to know it's your favourite in historic genre
Where can i watch it pls?

Mr Manirathnam is someone who is perfect and flawless craftsman as far as film makers are concerned...This interview is testimony of such narrative of him...Every budding filmmaker should see this masterpiece conversation between these two and emulate themselves to shape up their future career...
Good to hear what Ondaanondu Kaaladalli ( Once Upon a Time ) the Kannada cult film by Girish Karnad means to you guys!
That truly was an Indian take of cinematic experience in the mould of Akira Kurasova!
Brilliant!
👍
Kadal is such a raw film.. it's completely diff film.. trying different is always his mantra..surely ps 1 will be a hit
Both have mastery over their subjects and the language to articulate them clearly and crisply.

Wow 👍.. Mani sir is so humble..was waiting for his interview... accept your failures & move ahead.. beautifully said by Mani sir.. actually this is relevant to all people... especially students who commit suicide for getting low marks...it is so stupid. .. they have a long way to go .. life is not a bed of roses.. people will be scratched by the thorns in a rose garden.. it is inevitable..
Hanging thali to missing thali to no thali, sokkaa sonaiyaa, idhellam appadiyey thaanaa vararduillai (MMKR dialogue) hats off for connecting so many dots throughout the interview.
Genius Maniratnam 🔥👌💯👑 eagerly awaiting to witness the dance of cholas🐯
Masterful interview! ♥🙏
Sir, those body armors for Aditya Karikalan and Vandhiyadevan were so unique and spectacular. So authetic! Loved the details..
Nothing to take away from Ravi varman.The visuals look stunning but was imagining what Santhosh Sivan would have brought to the table. Urumi and Asoka look unique.
Dear BR...i think you have lot questions to ask to Mani Ratnam. Because you are interacting with Him many times and your questions not repetitive.wow...
I was waiting for this interview for days 😃
Master of visual media.... Great master of masters... Sir we don't have words for appreciate of your work and thinking... Great sir do it for ever.. don't let down for any anything...
