ok fine Maddy. Both IR and ARR benefitted from MSV... and then he is left in the limbo (in your POV of course).

Ithukku thaan naanga ellam aaniyae pudungurathu illai (Top 10).

NOV,
Can you elaborate on the benefits ? That might help me in changing my view on MSV. (Hope you know that I am an ordinary guy who can't understand something that is related to music)

10a. Koundamani - the comic dialoges that you see people speaking now in offices/public places and almost entire TN is of koundar's hit comedy scenes of 90.................

I can't remember a 90s kid who didn't latch on to the egathALam and nakkal of Goundamani. Future generations will talk about the contributions to emboldening the average guy to disregard sacred cows. Stop at nothing for a laugh.With breathtaking originality he has managed to influence so many - perhaps without a complete understanding of the enormity of that influence.

yea, guess its a bit unfair on MSV..........IR and ARR expanded the path that was laid by MSV just like maniratnam walked on mahendran's path but found more success....(i'm in no way equating IR/ARR's style to MSVs aka mani's similarity to mahendran).....i missed sridhar too whom i though was a trend setter in his own right ......i'm too young to know abt kannadasan's influence - MGR/Sivaji's case is different, since their influences still stand out.......

[NOV]

Both MGR and Sivaji benefitted greatly from both MSV and Kannadhasan

[selvakumar]

Could be. MGR was able to get good tunes from many Music directors is what I heard. I might be wrong since I hardly remember any facts on old films.
NOV - Our age is the main problem here (at least I believe)

i think he changed the mindset of a entire generation.....he made people to look at funny side even during adversities...........his best service to tamils was ruthlessness with which he mocked at hypocrisy.........one egjaambil:

senthil: thirupugalai paada paada vaai manakkkum
koundar : pinna yenda dhinamum pal velakkura......

senthil personifies a typical tamilian who just says this to show off his half baked "thirupugal" knowledge and koundar just kills that hypocrisy
