Clarification: When I said it doesnt matter, it means he has already given us a bounty and it doesnt matter even if he wants to retire. I doubt if he wants to. and yes, he is very much in form. But just that it would be perfect if he comes up with instrumental albums as well (instead of devotional ones - I liked few devotional albums, but they anyday cannot be compared with the colossal work on HTNI & NBW).

+1 to Raagas' post.However, if he does instrumental, I wish he does it on a musical theme, The instrumental album based on Guru(malayalam) bg score isn't that good.Mainly, the complaint is the rapid change of mood in these instrumentals. For instance, as a background score, these quick mood changes in instrumentation within the 4-5 minutes of a single piece worked in Guru. But they don't work when you listen standalone as an album.I also have a partiality towards HTNI over NBW mainly because the whole origin of man, evolution of sound through the ages thingy is too distracting in NBW. I don't want that grand an attempt.Thiruvasagam was stupendous but as raagas pointed, I don't want another of those devotional married to WCM concept. That is, no devaaram, divya prabhandham or old testament, please!What is my point net-net? I don't know, I am confused. I am happy with NOTHING at all from Him for the rest of his Life. Yet, if you discuss specifics, I end up wishing for this or that. nAn sariyA thAnE pEsurEn?

Ah, IR's retirement planning, our favorite pastime, this, aint it? Lets leave that to the man, I say, and enjoy whatever good we get!

We are not talking about retirement. We are only talking about new roles

Felt very happy that Bala goes out from Raja..Finally!

I dont care for Bala either. Except for some rawness (probably first hand experience) and some realism, I dont think he is a full-fledged director. There were so many opportunities for music/BGM to help him out but he never gave IR that good an opportunity (in terms of screenplay). He should contemplate why his mentor swears by the boss

..Considering the standards are so bad for direction in our film world he looks good.
