We should not compare SDM with roja or bombay coz the demands and needs are different.

Unfortunately what happens is that is does not get so popular amidst the "vellai" kaaranga.

Kamal ARR n Sachin.<BR/>Yes, Slumdog is not his best. But, Slumdog as movie in its worlwide banner and the scope of Academy awards did this for ARR. I am sure it is not a one time feat and I expect ARR to compose for more and 'better' worldwide movies.<BR/>I liked 'Mausam n Escape' in Slumdog. Awesome one.<BR/><BR/>And reg Sachin and ARR, yes very true. But i feel it is a virtue of any such champion. (Fedex is an exception) :)<BR/><BR/>Ulaganayagan can go with ARR too. We need to consider ARR's outreach and time taken to achieve those too.<BR/>When it is music and acting,i feel music is much closer to heart and ARR is definitely a Ulaga Nayagan too :)Rathna Kumarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16712177506972398089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19021808.post-20415985591320438862009-02-23T21:18:00.000-08:002009-02-23T21:18:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rathna Kumarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16712177506972398089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19021808.post-28018929536640000322009-02-23T10:07:00.000-08:002009-02-23T10:07:00.000-08:00I couldn't stop myself from typing this out, even though my view is very similar to the ones before me. <BR/><BR/>'Ulaga Nayagan' is only Kamal Haasan. I wouldn't want anyone, even ARR, to use that.<BR/><BR/>Spot on with the Sachin thing.
