Sad to learn the death of Bharathiraaja! He became a sensation in his maiden film - 16வது வயதினிலே! He tried, in his own way, to make Tamil cinema different. "மண்வாசனை" and "கருத்தம்மா" were better films of his. I know he drew inspiration from some of the stories of Dad and when Dad and I happened to meet him at Park Sheraton in RA Puram in 1988, he discussed some of the stories with Dad. Badly wanted to meet him after the death of his son Manoj.
