app_eng,
Thanks for the clarification about Dalapathi. It makes me more right :)
Hmm. This man goes to greater heights every decade. We may fight about the worth of Valmiki or Kannukulle but who can ever debate the worth of 'Virumandi' or 'Pazhassi Raja' and not to mention 'Tiruvsagam'. These three in 2000 make for a decade in which as far as 'grand' music is concerned, he has had no peers.
