    I know it was harsh but this is not the way to express your desire if you want to work with a composer. I doubt if Bala or Ameer want to work with Rahman anyway. Don't know about Seenu R but he needs to understand that he cannot talk nonsense when talking about a composer of great stature like Rahman.

    No one denies that songs are important but these days movies don't run just for songs as they used to in the 80s. Remembering a movie for its music is not the same as music guaranteeing the success of a movie. Even in the 80s, quite a few movies failed miserably at the box office despite a great musical score - Vikram-starrer Meera is a good example. People still remember the movie for its music but the movie was still a flop. A few small budget movies that had good music made more money than their budget because people watched it just for the songs. These days, it doesn't happen. Besides, I think in the 80s, the producer owned the music too and any revenue from cassette sales went to the producer but these days, composers mostly own the music (I think that is the case with Rahman but not sure about others).

    Madharasappattinam was garbage? It wasn't a great movie but it wasn't garbage really. I thought the art director did an excellent job and the cinematography was good. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but are you suggesting that music was the only saving grace of that movie and/or the movie is still remembered only for its music?

    thamizh...garbage was a harsh term which I wanted to use only for certain films like Vandicholai sinrasu, kaadhal desam and the countless number of IR films which survived only bcoz of his music (and in certain cases, GM+Senthil's comedy) like vaidehi kaathirunthal, solla thudikkuthu manasu, neengal kettavai etc., I agree madharasapattinam does not deserve that and neither does unnale unnale.. apologies

    The industry has changed somewhat. People don't have to sit through films they're otherwise uninterested in just for the songs, which are available online or on TV.

    It's not that bad films don't become hits these days or that songs don't contribute to a film's success, but it's not as common for hit songs to carry films that would otherwise be unpopular.
