"There will be spaces...there will be silence between the dialogues or without the dialogues, you know there will be moments, because this is essentially a medium which deals with people and not just what they say but what they feel and what they feel comes out in the silent shots" - dir. Maniratnam

What your fave Mani sir's male character says abt you. Pt 1

Karthik (Alaipayuthey) :

Character: You are person who really really loves life. You are carefree, outgoing, and insanely talented. You would go to the ends of the Earth for the people you love, but your wrath is just as extreme. You have communication issues you need to work on. Though you often sometimes do or say things that might be hurtful, you regret it immediately, and try to fix your mistakes. You are a true romantic, and guys and/or girls swoon over you. Love Language: Physical touch. (You definitely are a sucker for forehead and neck kisses, and hand holding) Your idea of a typical date: Date a restaurant / picnic in a quiet, private garden while petting dogs or cats

Adi (O Kadhal Kanmani)

Character : You are either the most happy-go-lucky or the most serious person one can meet. Most of the times, you are the therapist friend of the group. Your smile lights up the world, and your anger can shake the ground (mostly, it doesn't get that far) You are mostly pookie personified, and are described as "extremely cute" . Love Language: Physical touch, gifts. Your idea of a typical date : A long drive with ARR's or HJ's or SPB's songs blasting on top volume / Art date

Rishi (Roja)

Character: Old school person whose heart is stuck in the 60s to 90s. The most reliable and trustworthy person you'll meet. Sort of a people pleaser, and are ready to sacrifice anything for the people they love. Your moral compass is accurate and not only are you righteous and follow your own path, you inspire others to do so too, even if you don't realise it. A natural leader, though you aren't that big of an extrovert. Love language : words of affirmation, acts of service Your idea of a perfect date: A movie date in a local cinema, watching MGR, Savitriamma, NTR or ANR's films, as you share popcorn from the same tub and randomly intertwine your fingers / cooking for them at your home. Tell me if you want Part2!!

MOUNA RAGAM - BLACK & WHITE

Both the male leads, Chandra kumar and Manohar they always had clarity in whatever they were doing and it shows.

Now coming to the crux, Manohar is an easy going, fun, playful, rebel.

Chronologically speaking, I think Divya is a very serious person and only when Manohar comes into her life..

and also her playfullness is "the manohar" she carries along.

She is lost

She is in mourning

Even when she agrees to marry Chandrakumar, she is still mourning

And when Chandrakumar embraces her with clarity, patience, love and acceptance🤌

Aditha Karikalan and Nandhini are the peak "Poraney Poraney" couple. I will not accept criticism on this.

"Poraney Poraney kathoda thoothalapola Poraney Poraney povaamathaan Poraney"

"Poraley Poraley kathoda thoothalapola Poraley Poraley povaamathaan Poraley"

Translation : There he goes! moving away from me, like the rain droplets with the breeze, There he goes! He leaves reluctantly from me.

"Paruvam, thodangi aasavachen, Illaadha, saaamikum poosavachen Mazhayil, nenanja kaatha pola, Manasa neyum nenachuputta."

Translation: My desires began from my teens, and I pled to even non-existent deities like the breeze wetted by the rains, you pleasantly soak my heart with memories now.

"Kennathu nelava naanirundhen, Kalla erinju kolapiputta Unna paarthu pesayila Rendaam murayaa kutha vachaen"

Translation: Was like a calm reflection of moon in a well The calmness disrupted by your pebble now When I speak with you I blossom once again, very well.

"Ada manja kelangae unna nenachi nenachi dhinam Manasukulla vachi pootikitten Un pinju viral pathicha manna eduthu naan Kayathuku poosokitten"

Translation: Hey you yellow turmeric root, I keep reminiscing each day And keep you safely ensconced in my soul I collect the earth caressed by your tender toes To smear as comfort to my bruises.

I took the lyrics and translation from the net. See, I'm not a Tamilian, I don't even know Thamizh, but the minute I heard Poraney Poraney, I thought of these guys!

Oh, what I'd give to learn Thamizh. Anyways, I'll go finish my assignments while some of you (i hope) cry over this :)

ALSO SOMEONE VOLUNTEER TO TEACH ME THAMIZH IN MARCH AFTER MY BOARDS PLEASE-

I WANNA LEARN THE LANGUAGE SO BAD BUT DONT KNOW WHERE TO START T_T
