Those who have seen Maniratnam's 'Anjali' will never forget the visual effect of the scene in which the 'mentally retarded' young girl is introduced. The dim light in the scene puts the viewer in the child's world, and it sets the mood for the film.Take Bharathan's 'Vaisali' or 'Amaram' or Lenin Rajendran's 'Swathi Thiranal' or 'Kulam' or 'Daivathinte Vikruthikal': All these films give us the impression that more is conveyed through visuals than through dialogues and that is the success of a cinematographer like Madhu Ambat.
Madhu, noted for presenting various moods, has worked with most of the major directors, including M Night Shyamalan. His handling of the camera for Shyamalan's 'Praying with Anger' and 'Wide Awake' has won him international acclaim. It was Hollywood politics which kept Madhu from 'Sixth Sense', against the director's wish.
