man,i saw Guru also... to tell u the truth... the film holds its own magic,even if there wasn't songs [leaving out the BGMS ofcource]... IMO, i felt the songs were badly choreographed, did u saw what did they make them to dance for a song like Tere Bina?? Gosh!!
Ay Hairathe was very powerful as a BGM... Mayya Mayya was so dissapointing as it was also used for the starting credits... the list just goes on.... but never the less, i felt the BGM was excellent... and yes, after watching Guru, its only MANI RATNAM's magic touch is beein raved and the music hardly gets its share... on the other hand, man... if u ask me... the ONLY director that KNOWS what ARR's songs r worth is SHANKAR... he can go on spending his time, spending hell lotsa money on a picturisation & goodness, he alwiz gives something new in ARR's songs... its pretty much clear with the time slice with Alle Alle & excellent idea of reusing used stuffs for Boom Boom from Boys ..... and ofcource the upcoming Shivaji, a song in a glass house specially made for the song [??] ..... thier list is huge...starting from Gentleman, this Combo spells MAGIC all the way... :)
