This has to be my favourite gangster drama of all time The movie has some intense moments of thrills and emotional drama, and relies on the powerful performances from Mammootty and Rajinikanth. Especially when he happens to be Rajinikanth’s step-brother, though the former is not aware of this. Deriving inspiration from the legendary friendship between Duryodhana and Karna from Mahabharata, Thalapathi narrates the tale of friendship between a powerful don (Mammootty) and his right-hand man (Rajinikanth), even when their reign is almost threatened by the advent of an honest Collector (Arvind Swamy). While Nayagan is definitely a masterpiece of a movie, I have a personal soft corner for this gangster drama, made by Mani Ratnam. Again, this was remade into Bollywood as Dayavan, which is only worth remembering for that awkward, lingering kiss between Vinod Khanna and Madhuri Dixit. The movie won him his second National Award for the Best Actor, while TIME has chosen Nayagan in its “All-Time 100 Best Films”. Nayagan is India’s answer to The Godfather, and has Kamal Haasan deliver one of his finest performances, as the movie shows his arc from being a reluctant slumlord to an aging, repentant don. It’s very strange that Kamal Haasan never worked with Mani Ratnam after Nayagan, because the movie was an absolute masterclass when it comes to making a gangster drama.

Boy are we glad, he had a change of mind. To think, he had no interest in the film making field once upon a time. Unsurprisingly many filmmakers - Guatham Menon, Shaad Ali have been inspired by his work. Love was atypical when it came to 'this filmmaker'.
He's the genius storyteller who gave romance an unconventional twist. He's is a visual master - everything you have imagined comes alive in the most beautiful way in his movies! Each of his movies has a unique association as each of them paint a different picture.
