Tribute to the Genius



It feels too hard to accept that this genius is no more. "Sujatha" Rangarajan was one of the important writers who made me appreciate the quality of tamil movies through his terrific and informative dialogues. I admired his screenplay in movies like Mudhalvan(Nayak), Indian(Hindustani) etc. Hailing from science background, he was in love with writing. He aimed at making people familiar with science through his creations. I m also one among the millions of people who benefited by his creations. He made good directors through whom he conveyed messages to the society through his dialogues. One of my favorite dialog is,

"Valkailayum rewind button erunta evlo nalla erukum " (How nice it will be to live a life with rewind button !!!)
from movie Mudhalvan. I love to dream over the good old days and I have often carved for a rewind button in my life (so desperate now!!!) .

also,
"Tappu enna baniyan size a, large, xl nu classify panna" (A mistake is a mistake. U cannot classify them as small,medium,large,xl ) from movie Anniyan.

I found his dialogues with subtle comedy as, much better than the loud and crass comedies we find in movies now-a-days. A little smile that it puts in your face is much better than those stupid comedy tracks by other "supposed" comedians.

One sequence from movie Ayutha Ezhutu(Yuva),(Literal translation not possible!!!Sorry)
Siddharth: avalukku semma vaai da
Siddharth's bro: ada paavi!! Kiss adichittiya?
Siddharth: cha, intelligent aa pesaraa nu solla vanthen da
Siddharth's bro: appram eppdi un kooda pesara??

He had been a trend setter. Its a great loss to art and literature. Let his soul rest in peace. He will be survived for ever by his contributions.
