Best Directors

[RajaRam]

i think ARM, vishnu, KSR, and even the great Kamalhassan dont fit in my scheme of greatest directors.....




I have not seen/appreciated a lot of sridhar movies. But I guess mahendran, BR, MR are far superior than KH who has just directed two movies. A so-so virumaaNdi and a brilliant hey raam




For me, the best director ever is Mahendran




If Kamal can prove his success by making atleast 20 movies , then one can call him a great director . I mean consistency & ability to withstand changing times.



some hubbers posted their comments here Without knowing anything about Tamil directors.

To mahendran supporters(I know only Rajini fans are supporting him :D )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you all know how many movies he directed?

As of my knowledge he directed around 7 tamil movies(I might forgot some moremovies).

1.Mullum malarum
2.Udhiripookal(based on novel written by pulamai pithan)
3.pootadha pootukkal
4.johny
5.nenjathai killathe
6.Nandu
7.Name forgot(Aravind samy acted as hero)

Among those movies he got name only in 3 movies
1.Mullum malarum
2.udhiripookal
3.Nenjathai killathe.

So IMO defenitely he is not a trend setter in tamil film history.

IMO Trend setters in Tamil film industry are
1.Sridhar
2.Balachandar
3.Bharathi Raja
4.Bhagyaraj
5.Balu Mahendra
6.Mani Ratnam
7.Kamal
(Here I missed some old directors like bandhulu,beemsingh,neelakandan,krishnan panju,AP nagarajan etc.
because they were famous only in certain periods and their movies were looked like dramas--IMO)

Sridhar
-------
When MGR and shivaji were dominated in the cinefield and movies were released based on history,devotional and Dramatic,
He started to give real life movies..
He was dominated in Tamil film industry almost 20 years.

Sridhar's best movies(IMO)
---------------------
1.Kalyana parisu
2.Nenjil oru alayam
3.Kaadhalikka neramillai
4.Poliskaran mahal
5.Then nilavu
6.Ilamai oonjaladukiradhu

Balachandar
-----------
He also followed the same way to give real life stories like sridhar as well as some extradinary(!) movies. :D
IMO he is the one and only director got success in both village and city subjects. :notworthy:

Balachandar best movies((IMO)
-----------------------------
1.Edhir neechal
2.Iru koduhal
3.Aval oru thodarhadhai
4.Nizhal nijamahiradhu
5.Apporva rahangal
6.Thanneer thanneer
8.Varumaiyin niram sivappu
9.Achamillai Achamillai
10.sindhu bairavai

Bharati Raja
------------
till now IMO he is the best director in handling village subjects. :thumbsup:

Bharati's best movies(IMO)

1.16 vayathinile
2.Kizakke pohum rail
3.Man vaasanai
4.Pudhumai penn
5.Vedam pudhidu
6.Kizhakku cheemaiyile

Bhagya raj

In tamil film industry, he is the first director to act as a hero and got success also.

In early 80s he was box office king,dominating industry than kamal and Rajini. :clap:

1.Oru kai osai
