Post-WPI, Subbu will play more Baba Sehgal than Ilaiyaraaja

.....For Duvvuri Subbarao to make melody like Ilaiyaraaja a lot of things which are not under his control need to come together. Ilaiyaraaja has control over the people he works with. He can tell his musicians what to play. He can ask his singers to sing in a certain way. He can ask his lyric writer to write a certain kind of song. And so on. Subbarao does not have the same control over the other players in the economy. So, in the meanwhile, it is safe to say that try he might as much to make melody like Ilaiyaraaja, chances are he is more likely to come up with a song Baba Sehgal once made. It was called “Main Bhi Madonna”. Those who have heard the song will know that melody has never been “murdered” more.
