In this article, we will see about the directors who create the screenplay elegantly and differently in tamil cinema.


Bhagyaraj: If the screenplay of tamil cinema is Thilakam, it is Bhagyaraj. His screenplay was very popular in the 80s when populist films came out. Everyone knows what scene is placed where it will appeal to people and how much a scene should be raised and captured. In all his movies like Munthanai Mudichu, Bama Rukmani, Thavanikanavum, and Suvarna Chitragal you can feel the connection of scene-to-scene screenplay.

Manivannan: Manivannan, who directs films differently, is also adept at crafting elegant screenplays. We may have noticed in his films that one scene to the next comes like a chain. We can take as an example how to write a screenplay the inevitable film of tamil cinema, Peace Corps. There are no unnecessary scenes in the film.

Mani Ratnam: mani ratnam is one of the pioneers of screenplay innovation in tamil cinema. After his arrival, the stories of the city began to gain more attention. Also, his screenplay was noticed. The screenplay in his films is not at jet speed. Instead, it helps to convey the scene naturally. If you have seen the movie Alaipayuthe then you will understand. It is a two-and-a-half-hour film, but it is a slow-paced film. However, it does not give us a boost. The film will seem to be moving smoothly.

The screenplays of his films such as Devarmagan, Anbe Shivam, Hey Ram, Virumandi, Viswaroopam, etc. were different. He has given each picture in such a different way than they are not related to each other. He will be telling the story in the style of Virumandi. He would have said it in the screenplay without confusing it in any way. Viswaroopam will tell the story in a non-linear manner.

Vetrimaran: If there is a director who has never failed, it is Vetrimaran. He has never made any compromises for the actors in the films he has directed. His films are rowdy but never have a sloppy screenplay or unbelievable storytelling. Each scene moves us to another scene. In that way, we can approach the film Aadukalam directed by him as the best screenplay film.

Lokesh Kanagaraj: Lokesh is the hottest director not only of recent tamil cinema but also of South indian cinema. An important part of Lokesh's success goes to his exquisite screenplay. He learned the importance of screenplay from his psychic guru Kamal Haasan.
