Vijay, I really appreciate that you tell things as they are, and not candy-coat the facts. One example is, you said that just because the songs in 'Julie Ganapathy' are composed by Ilayaraja for a movie by Balu Mahendra, they shouldn't be overrated. Although I like the songs somewhat, I'm not still humming any of them today. Furthermore, there was clear influence from earlier Ilayaraja songs. 'Thanni Konjam Yererukku' resembles 'Engeyo Thikkudesai/Thanmaanum Ulla Nenjam' from Mahanadhi, and 'Minmini Paarvaigal' resembles 'Sorgathin Vaasappadi' from Unnai Solli Kutramillai, right or wrong? Saying that since Julie Ganapathy has songs by IR for Balu Mahendra the songs are top-notch would be similar to saying that since Simran is the most popular actress in Tamilnadu, and I'm not even sure if that's still the case, she is most beautiful. Not necessarily...

Of course, some people genuinely do like the songs from Autograph, regardless of what you say about them.

Regards,
Nitya
