The ring shows where Mani Ratnam ranks among Tamil directorsHow it works
Each ring compares Mani Ratnam with every one of the Tamil directors on Clapnumber, one measure at a time. A fuller ring means higher: Top 4% means only 4 in 100 have as much. Critics compares review averages, out of 5 claps. A ring shows only when there are enough people to compare fairly and Mani Ratnam is in the top half; otherwise you see just the number.
