Aravind, Thanks for the details. Good to know Sunidhi Chauhan is singing. She was very good in Paa (Hichki Hichki) and Om Shanthi (Chinna POlike). I think she also sang in Mumbai Express Hindi Version. So this should her first Thamizh songs under Maestro, if she does or if she sang again for Hindi version.

I was always curious about the fate of NEPV's hindi version as there were no concrete updates on hindi version. Here is an update. Gautham menon drops (for now atleast) hindi version of NEPV.

She also sang in MX Tamil version (Yele Nee Etti Po)

Oh Thanks Bala. Somehow I missed her name in the Yele Nee Etti Po song tag (which I have) along with Shreya Ghoshal. She had a very good voice. From the singers list (with Shaan too), it seems we can expect a monster and trendy soundtrack like Paa or MX. Still can't forget that slap bass (or pizzicato?) in Mudhi Mudhi (from the picture links it must have be played by Attila). I really loved the rock ballad version by Shaan too.

krish, So Hindi version is dropped?

Thanks crvenky for the link. So Shreya is replaced by Chinmayee in Thamizh. Little weary for her thin voice, let us see.

On Tamil Sri Rama Rajyam.. As much as I like Chinmayi's voice, I'm afraid, it isn't a patch on Shreya's. Producer should have retained Shreya for the tamil version too. BTW, any one notice the difference in 'Seetha Seemantam' song? (In the initial few seconds). Wonder if it's faulty CD Rip.. or if it's done on purpose.

+infinity. While the lyrics literally translated from telugu which quite fitted to sandhams, singing wise it was let down, especially Shreya songs. The areas where there are not much aalapanais, she did quite well, but, in Sri Rama Lera (Sri Rama Vaarai), just before starting the charanam, Shreya does one heart-melting aalaapanai, which was totally killed by Chinmayee. Many places like this, where there are those beautiful sangathis, alaapanais and those beautiful extensions which gave life and soul to the compositions, all are well killed and swallowed.

Finally, at last finally got my original Dhoni and Mayilu audio CDs after a long long time. I totally agree now, what people have been saying, what I have been missing, especially Dhoni's live recording. It makes a huge and hell a lot of difference. Experience of a life time!. Every bit of note and every bit of instrument is separately audible. You have to listen to the bass portions of Vaangum Panathukkum, nothing like that. In mp3 version (online), I used to hear the rolling drums @0.08 as some messed up sound. When listening to audio CD, that rolling drums is clearly audible to every note. Many things like that. SPB voice sounds absolutely fresh and stunning. Lke the voice of SPB which we used to hear in 80s. What a great miss! The songs reached greater heights and multiplied my liking to Dhoni as a whole soundtrack enormously. I will upload the original audio version soon. Highly recommended to listen to audio CD version only.

Still to listen to Mayilu soundtrack fully. Heard only one song; Yathae. Again what a contrast in listening experience. The song of the year clearly (so far)!
