Shankar-Ganesh

[Oldposts]

While I appreciate a no. of S-G songs, like `unnai naan paarthadhu', `adi ammadi, chinnapponnu' and `poovinum melliya poongodi', I never considered them in the league of KVM, MSV & IR!

Analysing their exit, since S-G never had issues like `diff of opinion' with any director, producer and the like, the reason can only be personal & probably known only to them. (There are no musical reasons whatsoever as they never had any ego - proofs: 1)scoring just the BGM for Bappi lahari films 2) simply re-playing the hindi tunes with Tamil lyric for remake movies (like Neeya) and 3)lifting- like in the case of `naan dhane oru pudhukkavidhai' from Rasputin, `sorgathin vaasal inge' from Billie jean, `meghame,meghame' from hindi ghazal & ooraththerinjikkitten - just replace the word kanmani with kannamma! )

It is definitely sad to know that Ganesh suffered a blast, any such violence should be condemned vehemently!

However, TFM hasn't suffered the lack of S-G anyway, IMHO, thanks to the continuous output by many IR-clones like SAR!
