About this listen

 "Mani Ratnam’s Nayakan is among Time’s ‘100 Best Movies Ever’; and his Roja launched A.R. Rahman. For the first time ever, Mani Ratnam opens up here, to Baradwaj Rangan, in a series of freewheeling conversations— candid, witty, pensive, and sometimes combative—and looks back at these and nineteen other masterly films. With Rangan’s personal and impassioned introduction setting the Tamil and national context of the films, and with posters, script pages and numerous stills, Conversations is a treat for serious lovers of cinema as well as the casual moviegoer looking for a peek behind the process."

Narration was quite bad. Narrator could not pronounce Tamil names. moreover same person narrated for Rangan as well as Ratnam. Quite disappointed. Would recommend the print version for this one.

Loved the book, hated the narration

A great glimpse into the world of film making and creating cinema from stories. I enjoyed listening to it. While the narrator was very good with the overall rendition, a Tamil native speaker would uave done more justice to bringing alive the Tamil emotions through the right pronunciations of the Tamil lingo peppered across the book. That was the only drawwback.

...being a Mani and Rangan fan, I just loved the book!

A must read for Tamil film buffs!

While the content of the book is good, the audio performance is below average. Bad pronunciations turn you off. If you still wish to go ahead, please listen to it in 1.50x speed or above for a decent experience.

Good book. Bad delivery.

Greatly organized conversation with Mani Sir. This book throws light on thought process, ideology and execution during creation of greatest classics of Indian cinema.

Enlightening conversation

The typical old fashioned longwinded ‘clever’ play on words. Couldn’t bear for more than 15 minutes

Very verbose, old fashioned
