K. BALACHANDER - GENIUS

[S.Balaji]

Have you ever come across a director touching 100 movies . its a rare phenomenon .its not so easy to cross 25 movies because one's imaginative skills and karpanai levels stays up to a maximum of 25 only.

Even veterans like sridhar, barathiraja, bagyaraj, Mahendran , Balu Mahendra ( yesteryears )
could not stretch their consistency beyond 30 or 40 movies .........

I am not considering S.P.Muthuraman ( a hardcore commercial director and guys like Kaja , Ramanarayanan )

Its not the number game only which makes an artist an all time great

its the consitency , quality , ability to be adaptable to the changing scenario ........ which makes a person great

K.B. ( fondly called ) has all the requisites......

When the tamil cinema industry was going through the routine / mundane type stories, KB was bold enough to make movies like Arangetram , Thappu thaalangal , Aval oru thodar kathai, Avargal , aboorva ragangal , moondru mudichu........

Each movie was unique .......

Above all, it was KB who brought in 2 LEGENDARY PERSONALITIES IN THE 70S.......

ONE BECAME ULAGA NAYAGAN ....KADHAL ILAVARASAN

ANOTHER BECAME A SUPER STAR.......

Shall we exchange thoughts about this genius .........

Definitely deserves top slot amongst CREATIVE directors
