    Maruthakasi - varalAru in Dhinathanthi

    http://dailythanthi.com/article.asp?...date=8/29/2007

    This may appear for a few days...looks like he has written for a number of hit songs during the early days of MGR-Shivaji...

    It's still difficult to understand claims such as "4000" film songs...Granted, films had more songs those days...but how many films were really made?....And how long did Maruthakasi work in the industry?...With the facilities available, how many songs got recorded...

    Even taking at the rate of 10 songs per movie, he should have written for 400 films...huge number that...

    Simply boosting numbers like this has always been a problem of our people...(I mean people of TN)...

    Writing film song is not like writing Kambaramanyanam (is it 10,000 four line veNba's) or thirukkuRaL (1330 two line veNba's)...

    I'm not questioning the "capability" of any of our kavignar's to write 10000 songs...were there that many "opportunities" really?

    How many has Vairamuthu written? (He seems to live in a better documented time period...starting with nizhalgaL until now)...
