Respect your views, but remember, AR is an artist foremost and entertainer second. What you consider wasteful like Yuvvraaj, AR considers as an opportunity to expand and express his creative potential. Lots and lots of people loved recent ARR albums and they did sell on the strengths of his music....again, it's all subjective. If you feel that the essence of AR is more present in those albums that you pointed out, I respect your opinion about it. We all have different tastes and preferences and ARR is all about diversity in artistic expression and creation. He cannot and will not satisfy everyone in one go. It's up to us to have faith, patience, and appreciate his quality of work even beyond our own preferences, because that is what AR is trying to do....broaden our musical horizons and expand our musical tastes. For AR, sales are important, but I think for him, artistic satisfaction and creativity are even more important. Every album is a stepping stone, a new opportunity to something further in his career, something that will allow to travel as a creative artist in various directions. Not all stones will have commercial punch on their own, but they are valuable in the larger journey of AR's music.
