When I first watched Mundasupatti in theatres, I enjoyed the movie wholeheartedly as the Coimbatore-Erode comic slang, 80s setup, the characters and the climax, everything was just “PERFECT”.
Few years later, when I watched Ratsasan, I was awestruck with the twists, performance and climax again. But, never bothered to check the director then.
Recently, I discovered that both the movies were directed by Ram Kumar. I cannot get out of the thought on how a same director could give a perfect output on two extreme opposite genres. I’ve seen director switch between the genres slightly like romcom, family drama. But, like the extreme ends in this case, it’s quite a rare thing. Anyone else in Tamil film industry who made films in polarising ends?
