I have never felt moved by most of his film songs. I felt his lines were really incoherent and i could not find any smooth transition between the lines. I always felt a jerk in sequencing of thoughts.
No one can really quote any song where his words and thoughts are strong. The songs through out his reign in the industry were more striking for the music than for their words. His imaginations are utmost dry and only sensible words he could muster are during songs which says what would happen if this did not happen but this happens variety. Other than this genere most of his songs are as dry as desert and nothing that smothens mellifluously your heart.
The gap between poetry and lyricism widened because of him. Our tastes were blunted and we had to fall into false sense that film songs cannot have any literary sense. He lowered the quality of words in songs to create such a domino effect on the overall Tamil film lyrics that it even embolded fourth rated crapy guys like gangai amaran, Ilyaraja to pen songs for films. It is a great pity that he could win the most coveted national award for film songs more time than any other lyricist. Cant help but puke his connection with MK in this regard.
Thank God he is no longer the much sought after guy and his film obituary is being finalized. the new breed of lyricists Na. muthukumar, kabilan, pa.vijay etc., can so beautifully blend film song lyrics and Tamil poetry. Even a "kutthu" song ,like "katthaza kannala" now has great beautiful words woven into it. Its a great sense of relief to the ears that were used only to "Aathadi Pavada kaathada.......".
