For me, each RAHMAN soundtrack / album is unique and what I do is listen to it
as an independent work and enjoy it. I don't waste my time in comparing it with
his earlier albums because there are no measurable units or parameters to
compare them.
Likes or dislikes are personal and should not

The FaceBook profile of ARR is GENUINE, Have you seen a photo on that profile

And I won't tell you how it has reached the ARR FB profile
I don't know what to say. For me, a Non-Tamilian, I took notice of this
beautiful language ONLY AND ONLY due to ARR's music in that language...
Similarly there are many Rahmaniacs amongst us (like Sirish ) who got drawn to

What does that tell
I do share the anguish of many Rahmaniacs about CONNECTIONS not getting a
fitting release which this album deserves.
