You won't notice this the first time.

You notice the shot division, scene conceptualization, camera angels, people's position/reactions, colors used in the frame. Unconsciously everything adds value to our movie experience. There are lot of imperfections(in the people) which makes it perfect.

If you're movie lover, read this book named Conversations with Mani Ratnam by Baradwaj Rangan.Most of his earlier movies are discussed and explained in detail. This will give you an insight.

I think You are a Mani Ratnam fan, Can you tell me which is your favourite Mani Ratnam movie? I will try to read that book.
