HI Krishna... Replying to this theory,
Such instances are abundant in History. They have bought about great changes and each one of them underlined the very fact that "Change is the only universal constant". For an example: Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was a great master and Vivekananda was his best desciple. Both had their own "artistic" methods of dealing with life and spiritualism. Ramakrishna remained in India itself propogating his profound knowledge and experience to his so called "inner circle" whereas Vivekananda broke the boundaries and went to the U.S. to deliver speeches on Hinduism, other religions, and the greatness of India as a whole. Vivekananda had a good deal of "scientific" knowledge and gave new ideas on how to use it for the good of India. One of his famous ideas is: To exchange the Indian Vedanta knowledge with the Scientific methods of the west and to develop on both the fronts. I think Ilayaraja and Rahman are somewhat similar when it comes to the "art" of music composition and of living life, but when it comes to the "scientific" part, they are worlds apart, just like the above-mentioned duo..! > For instance we learn maths at school n college levels.A school teacher teaches us Maths.He is very good at teaching n everybody is amazed by his teaching abilities.One of his students finishes college n takes up teaching in a more easy n understanding manner to the surprise of his students whose standard gradually increases n everybody starts recognising their value. > The new teacher gets offers from all over the world 2 to teach n he accepts them n amazes the with his new techniques by breaking old conventions. > In spite of a barrage of offers the new teacher hasn't shifted base n continues 2 teach in his place n just goes for guest lectures abroad. > > So whom do u think is more potent the teacher (IR) or the student(ARR) who has dramatically changed the way the world views Tamil music or Indian music at large.I just gave this wierd example bcos u need view music with another perspective rather than itz glitz or in terms of hits n flops. And to reply to this oncoming segment... If you think passing off Star, Parasuram, 1 2 ka 4, and such albums as mere "abberations", then whatever IR did that did not sell is also the same. If you derive the "ratio", ARR might be better, but that is because IR had more numbers than did ARR. So naturally, it is bound to have more abberations. > And for that matter ARR hasn't given 1 nasty stuff in any of his films unlike IR who yields 2 his diectors pressure cos he has become unsure of his future projects.A classic eg. may be Azhagi where there is a 3rd rate nasty song amidst good ones which could have been so easily avoided demeaning his strature of a so called genius.This is not so with ARR cos he sets his own terms while composing n doesnt yield 2 to the directors whims n fancies.In short only a responsible filmmaker will approach ARR.There may be abberations like Star,Parasuram but they only due to ARR's time constraints n busy schedules. If ARR leads even after the numbers become equal, it could be the case of "learning from someone's mistakes" Just My Views. No offence intended. Open to suggestions. Thanks for reading.
