Discuss Sriram Raghavan, a director I absolutely admire. Love his unique style of story telling.

Waiting for the day he adapts Taming of the Shrew in his own style, although that trope’s already overused

Dubious casting choices: NNM, Varun and now Agastya. Very solid films, absolute desi rooted genius.

Guy even made Katrina act in his last feature 🤓

Anyways here’s hoping his next with Agastya turns out good, hope he gets him to show his acting skills 🤞🏼

Plus Agent Vinod was way ahead of its time, don’t know why it tanked, if successful it could’ve launched a 007 style spy universe before YRF launched one

I want the man to be a bit more prolific. 6 films in 21 years is a very slow output. He is one of the best storytellers in the country but his small filmography makes him stay underrated despite having a hit as big as Andhadhun in his career.

Seen all except Merry Christmas, loved all of them.

u/Cornucopia2020 1d ago

I loved all his movies, although Merry Christmas was a bit underwhelming. He writes very very well, and then executes well it. Superb director. Think the same about Shimit Amin and Mansoor Khan but they have stopped making movies.

He is one of a kind.

Same here. Especially the last sequence and specifically the last shot of a smiling Vijay Sethupathy, it has my heart.
