I think it happens only when arr does moviews with
shankar and some others. I dont speak tamil. But i
have certainly noticed a lot of english words in the
songs from Boys and others.
But when kannathil muthamittal and Kandu konden came,
the music was beautiful and lyrics was poetic. going
by the translation of Daivam Thantha song.. it is one
of the best lyrics I heard :)

"If a music artist wants to blossom into a full-pledged person, it's not enough
if he knows only classical music; nor is it enough if he's well-versed only in
ragas and techniques. Instead, he should be a knowledgeable person interested
in life and philosophy. In his personal life there should be, at least in some
corner of his heart, a tinge of lingering sorrow."
- AR Rahman
