I recently watched Iruvar and Nayakan which are hailed as his masterpieces. So I went in with huge expectations and found them really underwhelming as a whole.

I mean there are bits of brilliance especially in Iruvar but as a whole package the movies just didn't work for me.

Here's my profile if you want to see my reviews for those 2 movies : link

I'm not a native tamil, so I probably missed a lot of cultural references. But I rarely have enjoyed any movies of Mani Ratnam. They all suffer from weird editing and unnecessary dance songs. Iruvar and Guru were the only ones which felt decent.

Am I missing anything?
