BANGALORE: At the end of an evening of poetry, flavoured by Urdu poets from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, Jnanpith award-winning playwright Girish Karnad spoke of how Urdu lyrics, which once defined Bollywood, are now dead.

"I think the main culprit is AR Rahman. He is a great musician, his orchestration is beautiful and overpowering, as a result of which one misses the beauty of lyrics that once defined songs in Bollywood," the playwright said.

Talking of technology and creativity, Karnad said: "I was once chatting with Javed Akhtar and told him that ever since DTP took over, Kannada has been flooded with bad poetry. He replied: 'In Urdu, we've managed it even without any technical help'!"
