These directors had given all types of movies like
thriller, family drama, social issues movies, comedy,
etc etc.. But the portrayal of Love in their Cinemas
is extra ordinary, so that no one can beat them in
this aspect.
1. SRIDHAR: The film VENNIRA AADAI,
in 1960's made a very strong wave in inner hearts
of the movie lovers . The rich Heroine [Patient] has
fallen in love with the Hero [Doctor] and doctor could
not accept the Love, because he had a love affair
with another poor girl. It is a triangular love story.
But in the climax the heroine, even though she had
recovered from mentally ill health status, sacrifices
her love for the sake of the lover's first love. The
twist in the climax made the viewers shocking and
it was a non forgettable climax.
2. K.BALACHANDER: EK DUJE KE LIYE,
or MARO CHARITHRA even though those films were in
Hindi and Telugu versions, directed by our K.B and
acted by a Tamil actor, it made a huge victory in
early 1980s even among Tamil audience all over Tamil
Nadu. Here the love pair struggled a lot till the
end. Lot of obstacles from parental side, rich poor
variation, mother tongue variation etc.etc. They overcame
all the obstacles at one stage and finally in climax,
the heroine was raped by a gang unfortunately and
the true love pair takes the heart breaking decision
in the last scene.
3. BHARATHIRAJA: This village Raja
narrated the Love story in a different way in 16 VAYATHINILE
during 1980s. The heroine here has refused the real
love of ugly looking hero, till she was in the position
of insecurity and lot of failures she faced in her
carrier. At one stage she realized and accepted the
true love. But in climax, the hero made a murder to
rescue the heroine from the villain. And it was like
a poetic tale, in last scene, the heroine was waiting
for her love pair, in a railway station for so many
years....
4. BALU MAHENDRA : In MOONDRAM PIRAI
, the love was narrated in a different angle. The
heroine was in dementia, and the hero had taken care
of that girl with out any expectations, except having
real love in his inner heart. In climax what happened,
the hero's real love was unnoticed by the heroine
and the never before heart touching scene was portrayed
in last scene. Nobody could leave the seat without
shedding a single drop of tear there.
5. MANI RATNAM: In 1990s , MOUNA
RAAGAM. It was a simple realistic love story, where
the heroine, after the death of her lover, due to
circumstances got married with another soft natured
guy. And the love between them was portrayed in well
shaped manner with sharp dialogues. Here the director
portrayed a real love of the couple, even though she
had an initial affair with another guy. So ..Love
never ends.
6. BALA: 21st century Love in SETHU.
The hero, such a lovable guy, becomes mad after the
breaking of love. In this film the style and possessiveness
of the hero, and the real fear due to the family background
of heroine was portrayed fantastically and in climax,
yet another heart breaking tale.
7. GAUTHAM MENON; VINNAI THAANDI
VARUVAAYA , another heart touching script, where everybody
especially urban society sees the film's story as
their own. Repeated love attempts done here by the
hero, at last, she too falls for it. Lot of obstacles
as everybody expects. But both having true love in
their inner mind, even though they meet after several
years. Yeah I am talking about, Telugu version of
VTV. That too directed by Gautham, so that he deserves
to join in the list of above said wonderful creators.
Nobody can direct a love story without touching the
concepts of above mentioned films. Love in adolescence,
Love during studies, Love beyond languages, Love beyond
ages, Love beyond religions and castes, Love among
rich- poor, Love against parental forces, Run away
from home on behalf of love, Love among soft -rough
pair, Love after marriage, Love after the death of
the previous lover, Love among mentally ill beings,
Love in Village , Love beyond external appearance
and beauty, Love in urban society, Happiness of Love,
Love and ego, Love and romance, Love and kiss, Love
and quarrel, Love and separation, Love and travel,
Love and secret meets, Pain of Love, Love failure,
Attempting suicide for Love, Love after effects, Sacrificial
in Love, One way Love, Triangular Love, Tragedy in
Love, --- all these properties are well mixed in above
said films.
What else one needs, to enjoy a realistic love story
in cinema?
What else one needs to accept those legends as SEVEN
WONDERS in creating love tales?
