Gomzy, Though I agree with what you said abt sivaji, I loved Guru and esp Gurubhai BGM. That actually lifted the scene. If there are few others like me y change it.

When Gurukanth does something smart the Guru bhai guru bahi aye che! is so loud, it deviates you from the movie. Ditto is the mottai rap in Sivaji ( its really okay cuz its for Rajini). Similarly when Akbar gets angry in JA, the score is so loud. And now Ghajini. Thankfully a lot is happening on screen and you dont worry much. Again check out the superb use of flute for Jiah Khan when she is hunting for clues and stuff. He is so good at that. > > Watch Dark Knight, when the Joker talks.
