Maran i admit he is a very good director..My question is why a genius needs vulgarity when he discuss about adult subject? What i think is that he want to show himself as Genius!!

KB is a good director i accept !!! He has utilised Anathu ,dir of sigaram, but KB has not given the due credit to the genius

Bingle,
I will give you only one example... You like the song "Dheivam thandha veedu" right? Why the hell you want to show Sujatha's dress chaging clipping there? What is the need?? You want to show that they are living in a poor family i admit..But there are lot of ways to show that..You need some more examples?

Sanguine Sri

Edho malarum ninaivugal varuvadhu pola irukku

Innum andha sceneai marakka villayaa ?

You are right.... that scene was not required at all ........I wish he had avoided that ....but for that the movie is a nice one

Another character which I will not cherish is that Pramila character in Arangetram where in he shows a girl from a cultured family , takes up the role of selling herself for the sake of family's financial pressures !!

and it will not a one time event...she will continue to sell herself for the sake of money ( excuse being that of family's financial pressures )

No Indian woman will do such things .....

I strongly condemn this characterisation of KB

However, there are many many wonderful movies of KB

IT WAS KB WHO GAVE US A NEW AND VIBRANT KAMAL THROUGH APOORVA RAGANGAL.......

after this movie, kamal never looked back.......

the same KB also gave him a good character in Unaal mudiyum thambi .... a movie with a positive end

K.Balachander must one of the few directors then to separate us from the usual family and sentimental pot boilers and bring us to a new dimension of story making...incest storylines...different ways of how love can affect a human and various storylines highlighted Balachander sir's creativity. To cap his story he had a screenplay which neither dragged or was fast paced...in other words it was suitable for the common viewer....but the best part of his movies was his excellent characterisation of his movie cast...if not for him actresses like saritha and actors like kamal will not have come into cinema...

vidhiyaasam dhaan avaroda way of handling things ! ok ! well, probably i will not comment on that scene ... but he has created so many different characters ....

Balaji ... it cannot be concluded that way ! sometimes when u r forced on a job, but after sometime u get used to it ... probably u may like it even ... am not saying this in support of this concept ... but ths may happen ...

This is a difficult ... infact a very difficult decision by a woman ! anyways ...

Kamal was already there playing second / joint hero type roles .....
It was KB who gave new dimension to Kamal by giving that character in Apoorva ragangal.....
IMO one of the best of Kamal

A youthful kamal at his best

look at the body language of kamal in this movie !

awesome

Yeah...the film which gave us a small outlook of Kamal's talents....but sometimes i feel Balachander sir gives us stories which somewhat are quite towards the romantic/marriage side...he has never given us movies that have action...action may be not acceptable by our directors like balachander...but if these directors showed action in a realistic and logical manner within a good story setup...i dunt see why they cant accept it.
