suresh/raagas, please dont quote the counter example in AhA nA peLLaNtA which is a glorious example of the correct usage of "aNTA". I hope you understand what I mean - I am not able to recall specific lines from specific songs but I hope you would be able to help illustrate

you saw that coming! But your inference is right! not just "Anta", even a suffix "Le" (as in "maaradhule", "preminchaavule" etc) is quite prominent in dubbing songs - prevalent even today. But i must add here that there was a lyricist named Rajasree, who was treated as "right lyricist for dubbed films". And to be fair, he did not ruin the lyrics are the norm is today. He did write some very good translations. He wrote lot lyrics for lot of dubbed IR albums (including Gharshana). Unfortunately, he passed away soon after ARR began enjoying Telugu audience patronage (after Kaadhalan, Thiruda Thiruda) and we had a breed of new lyricists who butchered Telugu like anything.

Back to topic, I need to dig out VJ songs in telugu. Honestly, I am not much a fan of her renditions because of STRONG (S-T-R-O-N-G) ditction.

Kurisenu Virijallule - Gharshana

நான் அடிக்கடி கேட்டு மகிழும் பாலு-வாணி கூட்டணி பாடல். எந்தப் பாடல் என்றாலும் பாடலை அடுத்த தளத்திற்கு எடுத்துச் செல்வதில் வாணிக்கும் யேசுதாஸிற்கும் ஒரு ஒற்றுமை இருக்கிறது. தெய்வீக உணர்வு. தீவிர குரல் பயிற்சியால் வந்ததா இல்லை இயற்கை அளித்த கொடையா எனத் தெரியவில்லை.

I wonder today as I have done countless times before what magic rests in the hands of the Maestro
in that listening to deeply loved popular hits still allows one to feel goosebumps and marvel at its incredible beauty
and if possible love it that much more...here's to a night filled with well known hits and faves!!

After listening to Venkkiram's Gharshana song posting looked up my fave song from the same movie "Vaa Vaa Anbae",
in Telugu version sung by SPB...."Neeve Amara Swaramae".....doesn't seem to be captivating for me as KJ version was...his deep voice just really suited this song IMHO.

Yes, I agree with Plum and Querida. VJ's voice does not suit at all for this kind of song (yes sounds devotional, may her voice suits more for those kind of songs) and even first time I would say SPB is shades lower than KJY's version. Those sangathis by KJY is top class and clearly VJ is no match for SJ there.

"Naadham En Jeevane" (Kadhal Oviyam) is one of my most fav songs....complete goose flesh category. Every time I hear this song, especially the melodic stanzas, I have to pinch myself.
