The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[Plum]

Grouch - ofcourse you've got weird taste. Siva...eeeks. If not for Raja, it will be in the dustbins of history by now. Rajini went overboard with remaking Amitji movies - this is a good testimony to the fact. Ameer John - the most garib john among KB's assistants in terms of talent - was patronized by his Guru alone. One more movie Unnai Cholli kutramillai with Karthik-Sithara followed. Can't remember any SPB hit from this but Kjy-KSc's sorgathin vaasarpadi and one more by Usha Uthup were popular songs. Think it was KB again who took the risk of producing a movie with John as director. KB famously refused to produce another disciple's vehicle, eventually made by Vivek Chitra Sundaram. That will be covered in 1990 as already referred by Faram and App. Mis-judgement by the master film maker.
