true...if we r gonna nail down Gautham like that..... i wonder what will happen to Mani if they do the same on him...... i belive most his movies were inspired by some novels/series/movies from hollywood... such as Anjali from a tele serial in 1980s, etc etc.... but as u said,his direction is the 1 made it look diff & unique...which something cant be recreated by any dirs untill now.... i think Gautham has some speciality too and its not healthy to push him down just coz of his inspiration from eng films and wut so eva.............
