hi I am an Ilaiyaraja fan. Hey wait I am also an ARR fan. I was so happy and proud to hear Bombay theme music in Lord of War which is a good movie.ARR's international fame and achievments are a matter of national pride. Just because someone is a IR fan they do not have the right to sully ARR's achievments. It is ditto for ARR fans.
