But imho the MD's definitely are not to be blamed for this...
one thing but u have to give it to IR, when ARR scores for a crappy film such those included in the list above, he will just compose the songs and escape, giving the BGM work to sabesh murali or pravin mani but IR sir will also do the bgm for those movies.... imagine the plight of someone who have to watch all those crap movies and give bgm for all the stupid things being done on the screen in the name of movies :) and definitely there had been far far more crappy movies, repeated cliches etc., in 1980's than today. Still he managed to produce some BGM gems for those kind of movies.... that patience and perseverance cant be seen in any of the current generation of MD's (and that includes our dear ARR too :) ) Selection of films, Musical hit based on director's musical sense.. all these terms only came in the recent past..... If IR would have said my music will be good only for the directors with "musical sense", then an entire breed of directors such as Rajkiran, Sunderrajan, Ramarajan, Kovai thambi and all those pattikaadu film directors wouldnt have been in Tamil filmdom.... (IR shud take the blame ;) )
