Chinna maamiye, one of pop songs he composed, has been an ever-green mega hit in the Tamil pop world. The lyricist of the song Mr Kamalanathan passed away recently. Nithi has been criticised for not giving Kamalanathan due credit for penning the song. Is it a fair criticism? Explains Nithi Kanagarathnam.
