Personal Glory or Contribution?

Many people in the forum keep on saying that Ilayaraja is superior because of the number of movies he did.

But there is another side to this coin.

The question we need to ask is why did he accept movies, just from anyone, and in the process giving sub standard music for small timers and better songs for his prefered selected few?

Why could he not be magnamious enough and go by the philosophy, "live and let live" and allow other MDs to also survive?

Why did he take advantage of his success to monopolise the industry, depriving other MDs of their chances?

In the end it all boils down to GREED and PERSONAL GLORY.

This can be proven in many ways:

1. He accepted all movies that came his way, knowing fully well that he cannot give his full attention to all. At the same time he was also killing off the other MDs.

2. He started this image building exercise by publishing (or allowing) his photo in all his movies.

3. He started the royalty system.

Some Ilayaraja fans have twisted all the above to his advantage, when actually IR derived maximum advantage from these with the industry being the loser.

Personal Glory or Contribution? What say you?

  Hi all,
  
  It's quite obvious why & how this thread was started. Isn't is obvious? It just wants to have fun pissing ppl here.
  
  So the best solution is to stay out of it's life esp when it can not answer your sensible Qs and end up talking crap.

  Hi all,
  I am a regular visitor of this site but this is the first time I am posting something.. Please forgive me if I dont follow the etiquette.... Etiquette?? well is there anything like this in this forum?? Let me give my 2 cents worth..
  Let's say if a 16 year old lad joins the indian cricket team and starts breaking sachin's records.
  Well he may not have the style and techniques of sachin, but he is a match winner..Will u guys criticise him and compare him with sachin?? we should be proud of the new guy and all that matters to us is a win for India..
  Similarly our film music is reaching beyond Indian seas, and instead of being proud of having 2 great music directors why are we fighting?? IR started the revolution of Indian music and ARR is just following his work.. IR will be definitely proud of his pupil's work and ARR will always be grateful to his teacher..
  The admin of this site should definetely be a great man to allow such stupid fights..Lets say that u have to pay a fee for visiting this site, will everybody pay up and visit this site?? Just because its free, u cannot take advantage of it..
  Why dont u visit site's like this http://www.rebuildindia.org/ and do something useful, instead of voicing ur personal opinions and starting useless arguments..
  These are my personal opinions and not meant to insult anybody ..
