The question shouldn't be why Irbdoesntbappreciate ARR - it should be the other way sound for Ir has achieved much more
My post begins thus
""உண்மை கசத்தாலும் அதை நண்பனிடம் சொல்" என்று சொல்வார்கள்.
ஆனால் ராஜா, இதை பல பேர் கூடியிருக்கும் அவையிலும் கடைப்பிடிப்பது தான் முகம் சுளிய வைக்கிறது.
ஒருவர் தனியே இருக்கும் போது என்ன பேச வேண்டும், அவையில் எல்லோரும் இருக்கும் போது என்ன பேச வேண்டும் என்ற இங்கீதம் கூட அவரிடம் பல நேரங்களில் இல்லை. "
All through the post,
I have maintained that Raja's criticism per se was right in its content, but not in its time and place. That is what I have called "Ingeetham"
If Raja had criticised about Vijay and his films to Vijay or his father directly at a appropriate place and time, there is no issue.
But it was a function of another film and Vijay's father was a guest there. He was a guest of Prakash Raj, not even Raja's . Raja criticising his son ( He did not mean that is a different thing, but his words were careless ) in that platform is in bad taste.
Did not Raja work on some Kuppai situations and vulgar songs for the sake of his job and career ? If some other guest targets those songs unnecessarily when Raja is present on the stage, will we say it is fair for them to do that to Raja ?
If Raja was true to his words "Why should I feel for Rahman ? I should feel for myself, he should feel for himself" , he should not have come to felicitate Rahman for his oscar. How was Oscar different from Padma Bhushan. Both are awards and according to IR himself, awards don't matter...
Raja is full of contradictions when it comes to his words. Rahmanai pugazndhu vittu konja naatkkalukku piragu he commented unnecessarily on Rahman's "Ella pugazhum iraivanukke" words..Completely unwelcomed and self-disgracing act.
Criticism is democratic. But that should be on a proper time, place and platform. Otherwise it would be indecent. I only remember Vivek's lord labakdas commedy :) Question kelunnu vaadhiyaar sollittaarnu kanda nerathula kanda kelviya ketppaanaam.
