Neethane En Ponvasantham | Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu | Assi Nabbe Poorey Sau

[Sureshs65]

Vinatha,

Not want to get into a debate about humility, 'serukku' and all but I personally consider Illayaraja as great an artist as Subramanya Bharathi was. As P_R correctly put it, we would have probably seen Bharathi in different light had he been our contemporary (and there was a bulletin board like this ) Purely my personal view: from an artistic point of view Raja in music is on par with Bharathi in poetry.
