When the title card 'directed by Maniratnam' shined in front of me, I was actually murmuring - 'the film Indian director I respect the most. My Favorite: 'There are two characters with the name 'Indra', as a metaphor for two mothers.

If you had never watched any Indian movie, this is the film to start with. This movie definitely will remain in the list of the most emotional and poetic movies from Asia. Maniratnam had given the best efforts to walk around the issues that are seldom exposed on the big screen. Kannathil Muthamittal is one of the most moving and honest movies from India. Such a cute name the movie have ‘A Peck on the cheek / Kannathil Muthamittal’ even though the title is very much suitable to the story, the experience watching movie is not so sweet because it shows both sides, happiness and sadness. Any frame from this movie will inspire a painter to picture. ‘Vidaikodu engal naadea.’ shows the intensity of pain faced by the Tamils in the civil War, and audience is invited by the soundtrack to feel the feeling.Īfter watching this movie I just felt to salute the director for his way of portraying the War, emotions and the value of relationships.Ĭinematography just added the power of cinema. And here also Maniratnam includes his favorite topic, terrorism but without going deep in to it like he did in ‘Dil Se’.ĪR Rahman’s music gave the much needed intensity at many scenes and the sound tracks such as Oru Deivam thantha., Vidai Kodu engal naade…, Vellai Pookal.’ Are a treat for the audience. Keerthana has worked in popular movies like Amrutha, Kannathil Muthamittal. Maniratnam had given the best efforts to walk around the issues that are seldom exposed on the big screen. Keerthana Parthiban is an Indian film Actress, who has worked predominantly in Tamil movie industry.

Mouna Ragam and Anjali are the finest examples. Kannathil Muthamittal is one of the most moving and honest movies from India. Maniratnam is one of the few directors from India who really presented movies given importance to human emotions. Maniratnam has bamboo a story of diverse magnitude of the human misfortune caused by the long long years of civil war in Sri Lanka. The movie is just splendid and I wondered why movies like 'Kannathil Muthamittal' didn't represent India for Oscars.
