P_R,

We can ofcourse move on. One small point though. We are talking about two things here. One, a movie which was bad, which is a post facto one and another aspect is the reputation of the crew before the movie is even made. The movies quoted like 'kangalal kaidhu sei', 'tajmahal', 'kadhal viru' were post facto bad but had reputed directors and production houses involved before the movie was made. Bharathiraja, Kathir (I hate that guy but he had a reputation before 'Kadhal Virus'), Rama Naidu production house for 'Super Police' etc. If you look at it that way, you can see that Rahman was 'choosy' about the crew / production house. The number of movies he did where the director was totally unknown and the production house was an upma one will be very less. Even if you take it in percentage terms and not in absolute terms, the % of such movies he would have done would be far less compared to Raja. It would be similar in Hindi, maybe even less.

What does that say? Nothing Just a fact. I don't believe that has anything to do with the music generated. So no need to pluck further nails
