The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[genesis]

IR always did average songs for Rajni. IR's best for Rajni was before he became super star - Jhonny, Mullum Malarum etc. There were some bright spots here and there like Thanikattu Raja, Thambikku Entha Ooru. IR probably knew for Rajni/Masala story his contribution does not carry much weight. On the other hand KH regularly got better music from IR.

After becoming Super Star, the only movie Rajni got good songs from IR was for Rajathiraja, which happens to be IR's home production. Later on there was Veera, but that's after ARR'a arrival. (I do not categorize Yejaman as Rajni movie).
