I think ARR's songs have some of the best picturization and treatment with Ashutosh's films. I want ARR and Ashutosh to continue together. They make a great team. And if JA was indeed a "shit, purposeless movie" as you say, it wouldn't have labeled a box office hit and garnered good reviews from most critics. Ashutosh is one of India's finest directors.
