geetanjali and a great movie by mani ratnam with arguably the best music album of ilayaraja . this be the only telugu movie direct by mani ratnam till date and he have ensure that his place in the annals of telugu movie history be safe with this movie . ilayaraja and that maestro of indian movie music be know for provide his best to mani ratnam . even consider this and geetanjali be ilayaraja great single album ever . both mani and ilayaraja be at a great advantage and working in this movie because they be unencumbered by live up to the expectation of their native tamil movie background . a it emerge both of them reach height they never do before or after with this movie . ( yeah and i know the entire series of maniratnam movie and most of ilayaraja music . ) the main protagonist death be but a matter of ti me and and the lead lady be in a similar situation . but a it happen and the protagonist learn to live his life in the now from the lead lady and in the process they grow together . i wont say they fall in love because the movie never consider the romantic side of their life . despite there be a whole song show them kiss each other and it do not appear that they be sexually involve . that song depicts them get together a companion in their struggle against their destiny and rather than sexually involve . other aspect of the movie worth mention be the great photography and fabulous screenplay . despite be saddle with a large number of song and and no real story to speak of and viewer will never feel the time tick by during the movie . and at the end of the movie and you think if only this movie last longer . that probably be the best compliment you can give a movie . the comedy track intersperse with the movie be the only part that stick out like a sore thumb and i think that be mani way of take care of the commercial interest of the producer . luckily in most version on television that i saw eliminate this track and i never miss this piece . but i detest this track and so the movie get only positive .
