Nitya, I didnt quite get your point and your comparison between Julie Ganapathy and Autograph. For one thing, the former was a flop both in terms of audio sales and the movie performance at the BoxO. But the latter was a hit and the songs were often played on TV and so on. So I was just making the point that it was overrated, of course, in my opinion. To be frank, as ordinary as Julie Gnapathy's songs were(by IR's standards) I would listen to them 10 times before I listen to Autograph once. Since the movie became a hit and the song situations were more poignant/interesting than the songs themselves the Autograph songs were played again and again on TV and thus became a "hit". Left to themselves, the songs are eminently forgettable. Bharadwaj offici ally joined the league of SAR, Sirpy and the likes with this album

BTW, ThaNNI konjam yerirukku from Julie Ganapathy -opening line is ripped of a folk song -mayavaram kannanukku maalai onnu seyya sonnen - a Pushpavanam kuppusamy song.
