Mani Ratnam's 'Dil Se' is an Indian 'Tristan und Isolde'!

Absolutely, bloody marvelous! "Dil Se" is one of the most poetic love stories captured on film -- ever! The glorious love-theme, the superb music, and the gorgeous cinematography cannot be praised highly enough. It is the cinematic equivalent of the great Wagnerian opera of "Tristan und Isolde."

Mani Ratnam is Indian cinema's "auteur," par excellence: I always find something meaningful and profound in each and every one of his movies.
