How the gaana tag overshadowed music composer Deva's melodic legacy

Tamil film music composer Deva revealed that his extensive catalog of soft melodies was frequently misattributed to other composers by audiences and concert organizers.

While Deva gained massive popularity in the early 2000s for popularizing gaana tracks, that specific genre came to define his public legacy.

The director of the recent film 'Lubber Pandhu' deliberately included a scene addressing this misconception to highlight Deva's contributions to Tamil film melodies.
