Ranjith,
is
known
as
the
master
craftsman
of
Malayalam
cinema,
a
title
which
he
indeed
deserves.
His
latest
film
Leela
has
opened
to
good
reviews
and
is
said
to
be
a
film
that
is
path-breaking.
Here,
we
take
you
through
5
best
films
of
Ranjith
so
far.
Paleri
Manikyam
Oru
Paathira
Kolapathakathinte
Katha
Ranjith
did
really
stun
us
with
this
project
which
was
an
adaptation
of
T
P
Rajeevan's
novel
of
the
same
name.
The
film
went
on
to
win
multiple
awards,
including
the
Kerala
State
Film
Award
for
the
Best
Film.
Pranchiyettan
And
The
Saint
Definitely,
this
is
one
of
the
finest
works
of
Ranjith
so
far.
A
well-crafted
piece
of
work
which
was
in
the
lines
of
a
social
satire,
which
could
be
enjoyed
by
all
sections
of
the
audience.
Kaiyoppu
A
simple
movie
with
down
to
earth
characters,
which
made
a
lasting
impact
on
the
viewers.
This
film
indeed
paved
way
for
the
Ranjith's
dream
for
good
cinema.
The
character
of
Balachandran
played
by
Mammootty
will
always
be
there
in
the
minds
of
people.
Thirakkatha
This
film
is
Ranjith's
straight
forward
take
on
the
tinsel
town.
The
narrative
pattern
of
this
film
made
it
a
unique
experience.
Thirakkatha,
definitely
had
that
Ranjith
touch
associated
with
it.
Indian
Rupee
Indian
Rupee
again
had
a
very
important
message
to
deliver,
focusing
on
today's
youth.
The
narrative
style
of
the
film
as
well
as
the
wonderfully
scripted
events
that
take
forward
the
movie,
make
this
film
a
great
experience
to
watch.
Ranjith,
debuted
as
a
director
through
the
film
Raavanaprabhu
which
was
the
sequel
of
Devasuram,
which
had
its
script
written
by
Ranjith.
Ranjith
definitely
deserves
some
credit
for
the
change
that
Malayalam
cinema
witnessed
in
the
past
decade.
At
a
point
of
time,
he
decided
not
to
go
with
formulaic
cinema
anymore
and
started
focusing
on
movies
which
would
take
Malayalam
cinema
into
a
new
level.
Movies
like
Thirakkatha,
Kaiyoppu,
Indian
Rupee,
Kaiyoppu,
Pranchiyettan
And
The
Saint,
Njan,
Spirit
etc
were
born
out
of
the
conviction
of
the
director
to
stay
with
good
cinema.
It's
a
fact
that
his
past
few
films,
didn't
do
well
at
the
box
office.
His
previous
release
was
Loham
which
had
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
role.
But,
Leela
is
indeed
the
comeback
of
the
director
to
meaningful
cinema.
The
script
of
Leela
has
been
written
by
Unni
R.
It
is
for
the
first
time
that
Ranjith
is
calling
the
shots
for
a
script
written
by
another
person.
