This is about how our directors shoot (steal) for their films. Let's start with our mega shooter, the one and only Mani Rathnam. Ayudaha Ezhuthu was a mega venture for mani with a decent star cast. When u dig deep into the roots u will end up with "Amores Perros " directed by Alejandro González Iñárri. The plot of the story is the same as Ay Ez..., the movie starts with a road accident from which the characters roll back to a narrative.
The other shot feature in Ayu Ezh.. is the different colour tones used for Maddy, Siddharth and Surya depicting their natures. This comes from the renowned Polish director Kieślowski whose colour trilogy films of Red, Blue and White were amongst the most celebrated in world cinema. The films bear a colour tone reflecting the theme of the movies, which "Mani the great" did in a single movie.
Even the sequence of Meera Jasmin in which she aborts her child to express her disgust towards Madhavan is shot from a Bengali short story, for which I don't have a source.
This what we call "inspiration" for which people like music director Deva are inhumanly criticized. For heaven's sake, tamil directors please make tamil cinema.

Keep us posted regularly about such "straight off lifts" euphemistically called inspirations.
To be honest, with directors??!! like Perarasu dragging tamil cinema to trash, Mani's endeavours in introducing Pure 'cinema' to common people is definitely appreciable... well except for the "Control+C"
