The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[V_S]

Plum,
I understand your concern. Apologies if my post hurt you.

As you were saying on 'Thakita Thathimi' song "there was no dubbing constraint on VM. He failed to use this advantage to reflect the spirit of the original". I agree that he should have written lyrics considering the character and situation and also considering it is a new movie. And not based on Veturi's challenge or based on whether it is a dubbed movie. Purely it should be based on the spirit. Completely agree there. You have explained very much in detail.

But on Mounamaana neram, you were saying "that is the power of Telugu so VM not at fault". Here you have no complaints on VM. So it seems VM has understood this situation perfectly and also considers this as a new move rather than a dubbed one, but just that telugu language is superior in expressing this situation better compared in Tamizh? So just wanted to know how the telugu lyrics compares to thamizh lyrics, if you can post in telugu lyrics thread. Because I love the lyrics here.


So it seems for the first one you liked Veturi's lyrics (irrespective of the language), but for the second one you liked the telugu lyrics (irrespective of the lyricist)
