Mani
Ratnam is certainly the biggest director in South India today
and a much-respected one all over India as well. He has revolutionized
the Tamil Film Industry with technically strong films that are
beautifully photographed with well picturised songs. Every frame
in a Mani Ratnam film is perfectly composed and beautifully
backlit even if this style involves total violation of tonal,
focal and colour continuity.
Born in 1956 in Madras, he studied at Madras University and
then received a management degree at the Bajaj Institute, Mumbai.
He worked initially as a management consultant before getting
in to films.
