The retrospective spans Ratnam’s remarkable journey across five languages and 28 films, screening seven of his most influential works. The films have been curated by directors Bejoy Nambiar and Nikkhil Advani, both lifelong devotees of Ratnam’s cinema. The retrospective will highlight the visual language of Ratnam’s films through his collaborations with renowned cinematographers Ravi K. Chandran, Ravi Varman, Rajiv Menon, and Santosh Sivan. Each screening will be followed by exclusive discussions with the cinematographers who helped shape the cinematic masterpieces.
“G5A Cinema House is here to celebrate and give platform to independent and bold stories. This retrospective does that and more by celebrating the vision of a filmmaker who has shaped not only my career but also the cinematic language of an entire industry. Mani Ratnam’s films are a masterclass in storytelling. Each frame, each nuance carries a depth that is unmatched. For generations of filmmakers like myself, his work remains an eternal source of inspiration,” Nikkhil Advani shared in a statement.
Bejoy Nambiar said, “As a curator, bringing these masterpieces together is my humble way of honouring a visionary who taught us that cinema is not just about telling stories, but about touching hearts.”
