Four of his five films have been classified hits and Ghajini in Tamil especially received rave reviews for his style of directing. His latest venture is Ghajini in Hindi with Aamir Khan and Asin. The movie had a big opening and broke many records, and it's an all time blockbuster. It's the first Bollywood movie to cross the 200 crore barrier in the collection category. It's said that SRK have requested him a good script for his next project. His native place is Kallakurichi, Tamilnadu. He studied B.A in Bishop Heber College, Trichy during 1987-1990. In the College he had the great affinity towards Tamil films and friends. During his college days, he was active in cultural events, particularly in performing stage mimic shows imitating 'Kirubanantha Variar' and famous personalities of cine field. As a student, he was a calm and humble person but his multiple talents during college days and inter-college cultural competitions was often appreciated by all levels of students and teachers. His respect to the College and his close friend circle was expressed by using their names and the College Name in his second hit movie, 'Ramana'. He is a simple person with great talents and often recalls with his old friends the way he travelled to reach his present position.He is an ardent David Beckham fan. Mr. Murugadoss currently resides in an independent house in AVM Avenue, Virgambakkam, Chennai. Right from his school days, Murugadoss was inclined towards writing short stories and novels. Encouraged by people close to him, he moved from Kallakurichi to Chennai. He started his career by working with writer Kalaimani, and then worked as an assistant director with S. J. Suryah for films like Vaali and Khushi. His first movie as a director was Dheena, a Tamil film starring Ajith Kumar. It was a commercial mass-entertainer and was a blockbuster. But it didn't give him so much reputation. His next one was Ramana starring Vijayakanth and this movie came out as one of the biggest hits of Vijayakanth. Ramana had a political backdrop and it helped Vijayakanth who was then an emerging politician. After the huge success of this mega hit political flick, Chiranjeevi, the Telugu Superstar, who was an emerging politician then, invited Murugadoss to remake this movie in Telugu . But Murugadoss did only the screenplay part of the movie which was named Tagore and it was a super hit movie. His third movie was Ghajini starring Surya and Asin. Ghajini is a thriller with romantic elements. This movie became the biggest box-office hit for actor Surya. Again Chiranjeevi invited him to direct his first telugu movie "Stalin" which was a disaster and he for a moment decided not make movies with big stars again. After watching the Tamil movie Ghajini, Aamir khan was interested to remake the movie in Hindi and invited him to direct the film. The Hindi version is also named Ghajini and was released on 25 December 2008. It became the biggest hit of that year. It broke all the records to become the first Indian film to cross collection of Rs.200 crore mark(INR 2000 million - USD 45 million).
But personally known, my opinion is Mr.A R Murugadoss is a person apart from a big director. He is a simple loving and simple living person (who is an living example for simplicity,humble and down to earth person.)MAY GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY WITH ALL GOOD AND BEST THINGS GATHER IN HIS LIFE FOREVER.
