Top 10 film directors in Tamil movies !

Posted by :  S.Shankar , 

 


hi friends

this thread is just like a poll,

list your preferred top 10 directors in the format TOP 1 to TOP 10. if you will, you can also give the reason for the preference.

i start first ;

Top 1 : Shankar
Reason : He is the only director who can give fantasy movies without any flops, the speed in the movie screenplay is also one of the reason for the succes.

2 : Gautham menon
He is the man who can give english style movies in tamil.

3. Cheran
He is the best director to bring the emotions of family sentiments and real life characters in front of us.

4. Bala
He is giving films once in a while, but still he is having reputation among the audience and he is the man who gave re-birth to Vikram's career.

5. Ameer
He is giving variety movies from ram to paruthiveeran, notable director who will surely win national and international awards in the near future

6. K.Balachander
His "Ethir neechal" is my favourite, he is the only director in tamil who crossed nearly 100 movies.

7. Selvaraghavan
We can't omit this young chap who is giving hit movies

8. Hari
His movies are nice entertainer and we can see them for comedy, fight, and commercial elements.

9. Vishnuvardhan
Billa was nice, you can easily remake a telugu movie into tamil or a malayalam movie into tamil, but remade a super hit tamil movie into a new one is not an easy job, but vishnuvardhan did it easily and made this new version a blockbuster. so this position.

10. Visu
I like to watch his movies for the family drama.

there are so many others, but comes next to these men.

Gowtham menon


I am a fan of gowtham menon sir, i love his movie screenplay and his style of editing.





 

 

By : Hari krishnan b s    trivandrum,kerala

 

 



About director hari :
Sevval director hari's new movie. upcoming hero bharat as hero.

hari i have a question, why are you just showing again and again the same aruvaal, thaavani heroine, 4 songs, 4 fight scenes etc., just waste of time and nothing new. change your backdrop and try differently as other directors, otherwise it would be a risk in your career 

 

By : Vikas Anand    trichy

 

 


this list will change frequently, no one can stick to it.

if someone comes tommorrow and give 3 consequtive hit movies then he will be in the top list. someone who is now in the list would exit. so it is changing 

 

By : Ramkumar K    bengaluru

i cant accept vasu got 9th place,now in tamil cine many directors having lot of talents compare to vasu ex sasikumar 

 

By : Jayabal    Tamilnadu

 

 


Hai!
Iam really not sure of your rating because you forgot or you don't know successful director's such as K.S.Ravikumar,Saran,Lingusamy,sasi,sasi kumar,dharani,jayam raja and so on.
You have just selected few commercial/masala directors(not so worthy as you rated) who can make you not to think about the script but to think about the hero.
So, your rating is not reliable one.

tanx 2 tell all dis.. 

 

By : karthick    coimbatore

 

 


NO DOUBT, THE EVER GREEN TOP DIRECTOR IS NONE OTHER THAN 'CHERAN'. he is the only director who give the best movie like the real emotions,real experiance,he is not a person who work for money,award and fame,he is a person hardly working for us,he is realy wants 2 giv some message 2 us.in my term film is not just an entertainment,somthing should touch our heart.and people who read this plz think and give ur opinion.

I like to add Sasikumar as the top director in tamil now.

i tell you reasons, i hope you all will accept it.

first reason, in his first movie itself he proved his caliber.

second, as a producer he dare to producer pasanga film. only a man who is having good quality "rasanai" can produce a film like that, the director of Pasanga movie also told this to the media. the director got the chance to direct this film only after telling the story to sasikumar.

third, as an actor his new film Naadodigal director balachander, cheran praised the trailer of the film. so sasikumar selected a good film script to act.

these three points is evidence to feel that sasikumar will give lot of good movies and will be a trend setter without any doubt.

Best Five Tamil directors off all time

1.Sridhar(The first director in India to tell that Camera can also tell storey, His stylle is impecable, he concentrate in all aspects of the film. In short I am lucky to live in his era)
2.MGR(Although he is not a good actor,according to the great Satyajiray his Naoodi Mannan is directed briliantly by MGR than the origina English version of Prisioner of Zenda)
3.Maniratnam ( Hes is a genius, cannot critocise his works on later film. His Earlier films photography was over done in terms of lighing effect)
3.Balachander ( Excellent screen play witer, who gave prominant to Women charcters. He lacks tecnical concentaction).
4.Barathiraja (Introduced new diamension to the Sounth Indian Cinemas. His story telling especially in the village enviornment is impecable. His weakness is tend to deliver same kind of techical production film fer film).
5.Bakiyarajs. (What a story teller. I think he is/was the best screen play writer ever in Indian films. Weakness using MGR's style of song sequences.Climax of his films are unique).
