80's commercial director enge... Manivannan'oda debut edhu?

கோபுரங்கள் சாய்வதில்லை - மோகன் / ராதா / சுஹாசினி - என்று நினைக்கிறேன்.

[Drugmachine]

Superlative-la title vachchum 41 padam vandhiruchchu. Ignoring chachi-420, Hey Ram has been included adding inconvenience to other movies.

I am not sure about Gopurangal saaivadhillai, oru thalai raagam and payanangal mudivathillai - can someone cofirm?

[Peptobismol]

ratings anuppunga makkalE. Start Music.

[tgs]

Would I want more?

Wanted to validate these movies. But, couldn't do anywhere on the web. Oru confirmation-kku dhaan kEttEn. Mannichidunga vaathiyaarE!

FYI - appO naan porakkavE illa

What about Gopurangal saaivadhillai and oru thalai raagam?

[Drugmachine]

hub rap,
Like I mentioned before, oru thalai rAgam was a TR baby but he was NOT credited as the director.

The posters had the name EM Ibrahim as the producer-director. Also the music credit was shared with AA Raj who possibly did the arrangements and whose orchestra was used (the titles / posters had music as Rajendran-AA Raj). (Just for info - the Ibrahim-AA Raj combo did another movie called 'thaNiyAdha dhAgam' that wasn't successful.)

Manivannan was assistant of BR before becoming an independent director and per my memory gOpurangaL sAyvadhillai was the first. I don't know if he had done any movie prior to that. This movie was a moderate success (Suhasini's ugly make-up / thEL kodukku sadai etc were talked about quite a bit, a few decent IR songs with 'Em purushan thAn, enakku mattum dhAn' criticized for 'dhum mErA dhum' resemblance for first line's tune)

Mohan was hilariously funny in this movie

enjoyable movie

[S.T.D.]

Let the baby stay where it should. Oru thalai raagam stays.

Since app_engine is not very sure of GS, somebody please confirm.

[brraverishhh]

Even Robert-Rajashekar, who handled camera for oru thalai rAgam were claiming some ownership (for director's chair).

Their next movie, pAlaivanachchOlai was a big hit (Suhasini + a number of heroes) as well.

For the "first-timers", I think Bharathy-Vasu's 'panneer pushpangaL' should be considered as well. This was a big hit, decent movie. Nice music / songs. Suresh / Shanti Krishna made their entry too and Pratap had a key role on screen.

Both the directors (Santhana)Bharathy (gunA / mahAnadhi) & P.Vasu (mannan / chandramukhi) became famous as well.

Unfortunately, SB, because of closeness to Kamal / acting in small roles in his movies etc, never had any share of glory for gunA / mahAnadhi. People call him benAmi of Kamal too

One wonders what stopped KH to put his name on these movies, and in the case of rAjapArvai, if such claims are true

enjoyable movie Yeah, when Mohan is taken into custody when he goes to fetch her slippers, for instance. Mohan is one terribly under-rated actor! Suhasini is not bad either.

Kamal knows that he didnt direct those movies

Kamal knows that he didnt direct those movies That's correct, IMO as well

Now, why should KH fans go to the extent of polluting Singeetham's wikipedia?

[softy54534]

Chennai 28, Sooriyan and Chithiram pEsuthadi - added to the list.

[radikal]

Please add all directors to the list because the debuted at one point of time.

[HedgeYourBets]

Pavithran's first film is Vasantha Kaala Paravaigal, IIRC.

Thookiyaachu Thanks.

sensational directors... Every director is sensational for somebody. Atleast that is the way all nominations look here. So why don't we add all of them.

SB, because of closeness to Kamal / acting in small roles in his movies etc, never had any share of glory for gunA / mahAnadhi. People call him benAmi of Kamal too

Kamal stopped from him from making movies eh?

"eeii....vera engayavadhu poyi padam pannaa...mavaneee"

Regarding kamal fans ascribing the quality of lots of his movies to kamal haasans skills - He was the "writer" of most of the movies. A film is made by the writer and director.

He is NOT just an actor.

[brraverishhh]

Virumbugiren was first film by Susi ganesan,not Five star.

He is NOT just an actor. I tend to agree with app_engine here.
App_engine
Even Hey Ram and Virumaandi are SB's chella babies. Because I see some similarity between these two movies and mahanadhi and Guna. Only outlier is Panneer pushpangal and it may be cute baby of Vachu then.
