B. Vijay's National Award-Winning Song: A Grammatical Error Exposed!*
Lyricist Pa Vijay has won a National Award for his song "Every Flower," featured in the 2004 blockbuster Autograph, directed by Cheran. However, the song contains a grammatical mistake that many may not realize.
In Tamil cinema, very few lyricists have received National Awards. Kannadasan was the first, winning for the song "Devan Vandaan" from Kishdukakka. Vairamuthu follows with seven awards, recognized for his work in films like Roja and Kannathalil Muthamital. N. Muthukumar is another notable lyricist, having won awards for songs in Thangameen and Saivam.
Despite being among the elite four lyricists to receive National Awards for Tamil songs—alongside Kannadasan, Vairamuthu, and N. Muthukumar—B. Vijay's song features a grammatical error. The line "every flower" should use the singular form "every flower," as "each" demands a singular noun. Nonetheless, it’s impressive that the song received such acclaim despite this oversight.
