Not for 'nAyagan.' But I agree with your general point that Mani Ratnam is right up there when it comes to dialogue whether he writes it or hires someone else to do it.

For Nayagan it was balakumaran.

One reason could be the tradition in parts of TN to give this name to the 6th child (I had a friend with this name and he was the 6th child with 5 elder sisters).

When it comes to dialogue, I have always liked the ones from:

K Baghyaraj
Manivannan
Sujatha ----> too technical / informative.. recently started liking his work
Visu ---> great in Thillu Mullu.... those who had watched Hindi can confirm whether its a translation work or not

Maniratnam & Crazy Mohan --> depends on the film .. 50~50

Kamal ---> now a days I feel all his films are written & directed by Kamal... I like the dialogues from his serious films more than in his time pass comedies..

Mu Ka is definitely a good writer in B&W era.... not sure about Paasa Paravaigal, Paalaivana Rojakkal etc.

& last but not the least...

I don't want to know who the writer is, I like it because the scene has...
Puratchi kalaignar
Annan Anja Singam

&

Nakkals from Sathyaraj

From this week's Ananda Vikatan..

Seeman was the writer for PASUMPONN

Nobody mentioned...

Perarasu.. Junior TR
Hari........... sub Junior TR

As far as Dialogues are concerned no one can come near to NT sivaji ganesan becos he was extremely talented and also he mostly belonged to B/W,historic,periob subject era where dialogues played a very vitol role.

After when the cinema industyr moved to next gen i.e social subjects, I liked the way VISU handled dialogues for family subjects.
How can one forget that famous dialogue conversation between VISU and RAGUVARAN in AVM's SAMSARAM ATHU MINSARAM.
The whole sequence would be Initiated by Visu's wife in that movie.
Raguvaran would give the monthly share to his mom and say,This month I ve decreased my share because my wife has gone to maternity period to her native.
His mom will say u cant be so calculative 4 everything in this world and say that Every Mother should carry her baby in stomach for 10 months.This is a general calculative period,But u were 10 months 11 days.Did I drop u 11 days since the period was over?
Then that famous confrontation between VISU and raguvaran takes place.
EVERGREEN SCENE
