No discussion of 1995 is complete without Muthu (The Pearl). Directed by K. S. Ravikumar, this film cemented Rajinikanth’s transition from an angry young man to a demi-god. The story was a simple adaptation of a Shakespearean play (As You Like It) mixed with a local Zamindar backdrop. But it was the song “Thillana Thillana” and the iconic dialogue “Oru thadava sonna, nooru thadava sonna mathiri” that broke records. Notably, Muthu would later become the first Tamil film to be dubbed into Japanese and achieve cult status in Japan.
Mani Ratnam’s Bombay (released in April 1995) was more than a film; it was a political statement. Set against the backdrop of the 1992-93 Bombay riots, the film followed a inter-religious couple played by Arvind Swamy and Manisha Koirala. While the heavy social messaging was potent, it was A. R. Rahman’s soundtrack— “Uyire Uyire” and “Kannalane” —that defined the year. The film faced protests for its depiction of communal violence but remains a landmark for its sheer cinematic bravery.
If it were not for Sci-Hub – I wouldn't be able to do my thesis in Materials Science (research related to the structure formation in aluminum alloys)
