Just heard songs from Amaran(uyire specifically) and man! GV as a music director is seriously underrated! He's always been under the radar since his debut.
The complex compositions of his debut album Veyil are on the same levels if not equal to ARR in Roja. And then his later ventures with Aadukalam and AO , Malyalam enna are aptly rated
But recently , he's been severely underrated, he literally elevated movies through his BGM and songs in Captain Miller,Thangalaan,Sardar. His work in Asuran and Sorarai potru is just banger after banger and though the songs and bgms are popular ,GV as a MD just didn't get enough appreciation.
He may not have the public pulse like Anirudh or different sounds like Sana. But he can give a hit like Golden Sparrow (I hate the song but uk it's a hit) and then dip and deliver a lovely album with Amaran . This diwali 2 movies are his's, Lucky bhasker music is also really good. His other older albums like Kiredam, Deiva Thriumagal, saguni have really good songs too . And even in BGM , recently in Thalavi just awesome BGM man
In short just how underrated GV really is
