Thalapathi | Mani Ratnam | 50 Films I Love | Anupama Chopra | Film Companion

A friendship sturdier than family ties. The desperate yearning of a mother for a son she abandoned and the hurt longing of the son for a mother he never knew. Violence, gangsters, the notion of justice and always, the haunting question - what is right and what is wrong? Mani Ratnam’s 1991 film Thalapathi has all this and more. Here's why it makes it to Anupama Chopra's series on '50 Films I Love'

[@vishnu.bharadwaj]

That was some memory ride back..
I watched this movie last a minimum 15 years ago sure , may be 20..!! But still remember the hefty actors going against each other in emotions and dialogues and Srividya is just ❤️..!!

Finally, "Thalapathi" receives its well-deserved recognition. thanks to review it. It is not only one of the best movies by Maniratnam, but also a testament to the exceptional talent of Rajinikanth. Witness the brilliance of Rajinikanth sir as he portrays the character of Karna with deep conviction, showcasing his immense acting prowess.

Thalpathy is an Emotion & not just a Film.. Best Performance of Rajni Sir ever with Excellent Direction by Mani Sir.. Equally Amusing in Technical Depts including Santosh Sivan's Magical Camera work.
Every Scene shot the way it is has a hidden meanings to know.

Thalapathi seems to have been inspired from Duryodhana and Karna Friendship.
