Am sure there are many here who will not agree with me, but this is not against ARR... this is against all those lyricists who let him down.
Every tune in S'katti is so different and ARR has consciously given a lot of scope for the lyrics to be heard very well. But I dont think the lyricists have done justice to their part. The fillers in songs like Elay..."mosa mosanu valanthom.." I cant believe they got into the song, what the hell were they thinking. For most songs there is no rhyme in the lyrics...I can respect ARR for giving the lyricists freedom to express themselves, but I think he has to be more stern with them to bring out essence and elegance in songs. Probably the director is at fault too, u dont see this happng in a Mani or Shankar movie. The song Chinnamma is a gem if you can ignore the looong stress on "ummma umma" in one of the lines in between. Once again another lousy filler.. Had to vent out my frustration on the lyricists, they need to learn from veterans like Vaali and V'muthu. badrie
