The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[KV]

A_E, thanks for the links and all the tidbits! To add to your observations, and possibly suppporting it, MSV's usage of SPB for KB movies seems to have gone up after IR's entry.
And another song in support of my notion of MSV being inspired by IR, is Uravugal Thodarkadhai (1978). While initially it seemed to me that IR took a leaf out of MSV's book for this composition, now, looking back at the discography, it feels like MSV could've adapted this style from IR (again, just my opinion, I could stand corrected).
