After back to back bombs, Iruvar and Dil Se, Mani bounced back with his next Alaipayuthey (Sakhi/Sathiya in Hindi). It is a memorable love story with an All Time Classic Soundtrack. It was followed by another cult movie. Mani has lost it, but its post Raavanan/Ravan. To be more precise, from Kadal (2013).
@Dil Se - Love the album, a true-blue classic and will remain so in years to come. Haven't seen the movie after its initial release and first screening on TV, though.
IMO alaipayuthey and kannathil are good compared to his ravan and post period but not effortless like before, almost like he is trying to balance commerce and art, if not mojo he lost his peak
His movies prior were very organic
But most people will still name all his movies prior to dil se as his peak
Mouna ragam to Bombay/Roja was his peak
