Geethanjali

If you have to see one movie in your life, this should be it.

It has comedy, love, horror, emotion - everything.

It begins with the hero winking at his senior citizen vice-chancellor. Then he asks his doctor to marry him, who very sweetly says she will ask her husband and answer.

But impending death. He can't manage and goes alone too Ooty. Here he meets this girl. Wait a minute. why have we never seen this girl again.

God ! what a girl. More a devil in disguise.

Then some very beautifully done songs later. The end.

There is a comedy track that was added later as the movie was a bit on the heavy side. It has nothing to do wit the main story.

The movie was made direct in Teluge. A first for Mani.

"Geethanjali," directed by Mani Ratnam, is a timeless romantic drama that weaves a tapestry of love, destiny, and sacrifice. The film's narrative, set against the picturesque backdrop of the Nilgiri Hills, unfolds as a poignant love story between Prakash (Nagarjuna) and Geethanjali (Girija Shettar). Ratnam's masterful direction brings forth the emotional depth of the characters, making their journey a compelling and relatable experience.

Nagarjuna delivers a stellar performance, capturing the nuances of Prakash's character with a perfect blend of charm and vulnerability. Girija Shettar's portrayal of Geethanjali is equally captivating, adding layers to the romantic narrative. The chemistry between the lead pair is palpable, creating an on-screen magic that resonates with audiences.

Ratnam's storytelling is enriched by Ilaiyaraaja's soul-stirring music, with iconic tracks like "O Priya Priya" becoming timeless classics. The film's cinematography, handled by P. C. Sreeram, paints a visual masterpiece, capturing the breathtaking landscapes.

the guy (nagarjuna) has a rare disease where his days are numbered , he wants to get away from his surrounding. so , he goes to a hill station. there he meets a girl (girija) who is naughty and teaser.later, he finds the girl is also suffering from a rare disease where her days are numbered too. but, she is not worried . he begins to like her and vice versa. but, hides about his health. later, the heroine does'nt want to be with him as she is afraid he might die before her. but, what happens later is the movie.

a must watch movie. good performance by the heroine (girija). good music by illayraja and good direction by mani ratnam.

the movie has won national award for s.p.balasubramaniyam for best male playback singer.

This is the best movie I have ever seen. It still is even though the year is 2005. Mani's talent is proved in this single movie. This movie made him my favourite director. I keep watching this movie at my leisure time. I would have seen this movie at least for 25 times. I remember each and every scene. A great inspirer at times of problems. The story is about how two lovers who struggle for their love inspite of the pathetic situation they are in. Each and every character has acted naturally. They have lived their roles which makes this movie more interesting to watch. This movie also shows that life should be lived to the extent possible and love between a mother and a son is very well shown. Love in its pure form is shown in this movie. This movie is for every age and a good movie to watch with a family. I suggest this as a must see movie. I have this movie 9 even though I could have easily given it 10. Don't miss this movie.

Never get bored..i must have watched 40 times by now.
