	Mani Rathnam, Kamal Hasan, A.R. Rahman
		Rathnam carefully preserves the dignity and the credibility of his gangland hero by never asking him to synch to playback; the de rigueur musical duties are either "source performances,: justified by the context (we pause to ogle the entertainers at a brothel), or are handed off to a high-spirited sidekick (Jankaraj).
		Rathnam's gentle domestic drama Mouna Ragam (Silent Symphony, 87) shuttles most of its crowd-pleasing melodrama onto a siding, segregating it in a flashback to an early romantic trauma suffered by the heroine (Revathi) when she loved a terrorist who was gunned down right in front of her.
		Rathnam elides the standard commercial conventions whenever he can, but he still draws power from them; [17] the songs are heard but not lip-synched, so that they seem to embody the character's inarticulate longings.

		As ‘Saathiya,’ a Hindi remake of Rathnam's ‘Alai Payuthe,’ prepares to hit theaters across the country, many in Indian cinema are wondering whether it would break that jinx.
		Mani Rathnam's first Telugu film ‘Geethanjali’ in 1989 aabout a romantic liaison between a terminally ill street hoodlum (Nagarajuna) and a heart patient (Girija) was transposed to Hindi by director Deepak Anand as ‘Yaad Rakhegi Duniya’ in 1992 with Aditya Pancholi and Rukhsar playing the two roles.
		The film was such an inept recreation that Mani Rathnam decided then to try his best to prevent his films from being vandalized by Mumbai’s directors.

		Mani Rathnam’s musical influences in his movies may be broadly classified into two phases Ilayaraja and A R Rahman.
		Mani had consciously not given him a song with Revathy, inspite of the fact that his role was extremely lively.
		Ilayaraja or A R Rahman, Mani Rathnam is a world class director and the people of the 80's expected Ilayaraja's music in Mani Rathnam's films, as much as today's audience expect A R Rahman's music in Mani Rathnam films.

		Like Rathnam's first Hindi film Dil Se, Yuva is an extremely restless film about young characters who are on the look-out for a relevance to their existence.
		Among the many absorbing facets to Mani Rathnam's storytelling, is the way he uses time passages in the lives of the various characters and the delightfully inventive modes of plotting whereby different perceptions are projected simultaneously into the various characters' line of vision.
		Rathnam goes from one level of characterisation to another, weaving in and out of three lives without creating autonomous self-contained world for each protagonist.

		But that’s because in the Hindi heartland Mani Rathnam and A. R Rahman are like astronauts from outerspace.or so the Mumbai trade experts want us to believe, when in fact Yuva opened to full houses in the ‘cow-belt’.

		Mani Rathnam (born 1956) is a major commercial director in Tamil.
