Pa Ranjith is one of the very few filmmakers who made lot of changes in the narrative that Tamil cinema undergoes in later times
Apart from being a ambedkarite and a very forward thinking writer and a director Ranjith has a really good craft with him inside
I have seen Pa Ranjith in his earlier times from his Venkat P days while he changed himself into a very strong celluloid writer
Starting with his debut film Attakathi his short divisions , camera angles everything has a meaning to convey starting from close up shot of Actor Dinesh’s locations to the bus shots everything will give a very relative feel thats the biggest plus Ranjith has
But Ranjith got a better handle on his craft with his second film Madras starring Karthi Sivakumar where he got his politics right very convincingly pulled up to the larger screen every character had a very minute detailing let it be Anbu , Kaali , Johnny Karthi’s mother , Catherine Thresa every character stands out for its nativity which we seldom find in Tamil Cinema especially in recent times
Every director the big ones bring something to the table of Kollywood let it be Mani Ratnam who brought dim lighting scenes to life with minimal dialogues most shots were self explanatory unlike Shankar S who is known for his bold and well written dialogues and magnificent narrative though both at many times worked with the same team their vision was unique
In same way Ranjith made a solid big writing with lots of lofty ambitions into a very convincingly written screenplay that engages the audience and the movie never becomes preachy at any time
When Ranjith made films with Rajinikanth everyone awed why Rajinikanth such a humongous star gave chance to a two film director but that was a smart and also a very trendsetting move from Thiru Rajinikanth , Kabali apart from being one of the biggest collectors of any Rajini movie it also beautifully used Rajinikanth as a actor , Kaala remains my personal favourite of any Rajini film
In Kaala the story beautifully revolves around both Rajinikanth and Naana Patekar both would have a contrasting ideology but Ranjith makes you feel the driving forces of both the characters and never stereotype any character especially the love story between Eswari Rao , Huma Qureshi and Rajinikanth is one of the sweetest love triangles ( actually not one )
The most Recent film of Ranjith Sarpatta Parambarai is a unique and a special one coming away from his forward thinking genres was a very solid film right from arya to pasupathi everything was picture perfect especially John Vijay is a special mention as Daddy he was a fire cracker , Santhosh Narayanan music everything was beautifully conceived and brought to life on screen and yes it’s one of the biggest and best films of the year
Thank you Ranjith wishing you a very forward future for yourself like your forward thinking
Bring on the change you want to be and here is our Pa Ranjith
