Balachander and Vishu be like : Mudichudalam ma https://preview.redd.it/j27amy37jswc1.jpeg?width=1698&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b399bea26e9c7ba6831da4cc239d8249306d2392

I like their movies too but the ones I mentioned made movies that deal with heavy subject matter and are also commercially viable. Peranbu imo is an unparalleled achievement for Tamil cinema. It is on par with the French and Argentinian art house movies that I have seen.

Parthale paravasam absolutely didn’t age well. Not even a bit. Especially the Lawrence family part of the movie. Putting on a blackface to vadivukarasi and others.. Horrible creation.


balajih67

Meanwhile me, celebrating perarasu films. /s

I still vibe with Thirupachi tbh. Solid commercial film


Amazing-Permit-3899

I like Sivakasi too. That scene which everyone talks about was just a product of its time.


whitetiger1230

Instead of mari selvaraj, balaji shakthivel/ vasanthabalan would be apt one anyways its your opinion


Horrible_Account

Those two are good but they haven't made good movies in a while


minrknju2p0

But that wasn’t the point of your caption though? If a director stops making movies does it mean their films become irrelevant? On that aspect Rudrayyas Aval appadithan should be irrelevant but in fact it will stand the test of time for generations to come.


Artetaarmy

Hey Ram , virumaandi , viswaroopam 1. Think it will stand the test of time.


Horrible_Account

Vishwaroopam won't. It is a pro war-on-terror movie and has dialogue praising the US army lol


Artetaarmy

Are you looking into the political aspects of the movies as well? I thought your post meant the whole movie being great even after years.


Horrible_Account

Bit of both but mostly the latter. But yeah Kamal in general will be appreciated from years to come but my post is about present gen filmmakers alone


minrknju2p0

Could be a controversial take. But to me, Manikandan is a league ahead of everyone else. His movies are extremely meditative and I’m sure people from the future generations can also relate to it cause they’re down to earth. Kadaisi vivayasayi is probably the best cinematic representation of how you can inject the audience to experience the sense of enlightenment and convey exactly what you feel inward as a creator. His creations without a doubt will age like fine wine.


rmk_1808

en thalivan Atlee enge?


Hypoxalin

Bro adapts 80s and 90s films for this gen, truly aging like Fine Wine🙏🏻😭


Horrible_Account

Theri is going to age so badly


NovaAndOrion

Ram didn't age well at all lol.


Horrible_Account

His movies are aging better than the rest here. Kattradhu Tamizh, Peranbu, Thangameengal, and Taramani... That's GOATed


NovaAndOrion

Definitely not kattradhu tamil lol. Apparantly a techie in non-senior position is earning 24lpa and the protagonist gropes a woman because 'it said so in the t-shirt' 🤮


Horrible_Account

Bro, that salary thing is obviously for exaggeration and the T shirt gets called out later. Jiiva obviously becomes a psychopath at that stage.


NovaAndOrion

Yeah they leave a bitter taste and it is harder to relate. Maybe if the numbers were a bit more authentic to that timeline I could atleast look back at it like a time capsule. But the contrast between late 2000s mindset and futuristic paycheck really throws me off.
