Plum,

I have read your post about Sagara sangamam lyrics (and comparison with Vairamauthu's versions). You are completely right (although I cant understand Tamil) that Veturi had a upper hand. And going by your translations, looks like tamil lyrics could touch the class of telugu versions.
I couldnt reply/contribute to that discussion because once I start writing about that film or its lyrics or its music, my posts will become very lengthy and I have been swamped with work to give so much time to my thoughts. But I will try to contribute.

And by the way, I never knew that such a thread existed. Looks like I will keep coming here more often now!
