Mani Ratnam. The very name spells magic in Indian cinema. He is one director who transcended barriers and captured the imagination of film going public from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. It is not too much to say even Bollywood changed the way it made films only after seeing the films of this genius. Film after film this maestro show new dimensions in film making. His films are a reference point in reading human relations. The true legend of Indian cinema is completing 25 years in Kollywood this June. With just 15 films in 25 years the genius stands tall first among the equals.

Mani Ratnam is widely credited with having revolutionised Indian cinema. After Satyajit Ray's Apu Trilogy and Guru Dutt's Pyaasa he is the only other Indian film maker to feature in TIME Magazine's All-Time 100 Greatest Movies with ‘Nayakan’. His ‘Roja’ is the only Indian film to have featured in TIME Magazine's "10 Best Soundtracks" of all time.
