The Godfather Trinity
Sudish Kamath compares "The Godfather" with its desi equivalents - "Nayagan" and "Sarkar".
To me, "Nayagan" was the classic example of a movie where everything came together in exactly the right propotions. The result was a heady cocktail of great direction, superb acting ,scintillating music and punchy dialogues.
"Nayagan", which was released in 1987, was not Mani Ratnam's first foray into the world of a underworld don. He had tried this theme before with "Pagal Nilavu"(1985) starring Satyaraj, Murali, Revathi, 'Nizhalgal' Ravi. This movie had a rural ambience with Satyaraj playing the role of a zamindar.
By the time "Nayagan" was released, Mani Ratnam had already impressed audiences with "Idaya Kovil" and "Mouna Ragam", but it was "Nayagan" that established Mani Ratnam as one of the brightest stars in the Tamil Cinema firmament.
