When we watch the movie the first time, we get more questions than answers and we left scratching our head as to what the actually happened. It nearly seems like the filmmakers got indolent and hurried the ending, or had to end up shooting prematurely. Then when we watch it the second time everything begins to fall in place. Each and every single piece of the puzzle fits in perfectly. For you guys, which movie gets better in second viewing?
I've watched all Mani Ratnam movies more than twice. There are many details left in the first place which we won't notice. But watching it the second time will make it abrupt. For example, spoiler alert, in the recent movie CCV, you can easily see that Varadhan (Arvind Swamy) character is the killer from the first shot. His reactions are so intact. You won't notice this the first time.Quote:

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.Quote:

My visually liked movie is Kattru Veliyidai captured by Ravi Varman. Also, for the record, Kadal and Raavanan are better movie of his than CCV.Quote:

Without my knowledge, I totally stop watching movies.especially in these past 6 months.Quote:
