KB, Balu Mahendra and Bharati Raja were the golden period of Tamil cinema. They knew how to build characters and groomed solid actors and also gave importance to female leads.
He is an ace director who knew the pulse of the common cine goer and had created films like Aval Oru Thodarkafai Kadai,Appoeva Raagangal,Maroo Charitra ,Varumaiyin niram Sigappu to name a few.His subject dealt with middle family dramas and not on masala films as we see today.As the people's taste changed he stopped making fims and concentrated only TV serais.He deserves all credit from film goers to film world itself. ,

I have seen some of his movies even though I don't understand madrasi. Those movies did make some sense to me.

There is no language in India known as "Madrasi". You must have seen someone else's movie.

Tamil was known as MADRSI earlier by most of the north Indian people, as Madras was the only famous place from south at that time.

First of all you have to start respecting all indian languages, there is nothing called madrasi, its tamil. KB was one of the greatest director we have ever seen in south india. Eventhough i don't belong to tamilnadu i respect the language and the person who did a great job in bringing humanitarian concerns on to the silver screen.

It is a rarity to see people like you my dear friend. Very matured thought. I salute your parents for the way you think. Hats off to them. Keep your thinking like this forever.

I respect your views. I am a Tamil myself but have rarely seen tamils reciprocating the respect others giving to the Tamil language. Unfortunate.
A gifted film maker with a penchant for taking socially relevant subjects and weaving a tapestry of emotions into in and turning it into a saga in the proportions of The Bard's plays or a Greek Tragedy.
Simplicity was his greatest weapon and directness was his greatest attribute.
