It is very simple. You prefer Telugu lyrics over Tamil based on your understanding of Kamal's character. Since I am not exposed to Telugu Brahmin culture, I am missing the whole point. It is probably same with VM also. End of story.

Actually, after Plum's criticism I feel I won't feel the same when revisiting the movie. It's like, "What the hell, there's something about the movie that many (esp. those who understood Telugu and the culture) knows about that I will never know. Okay, let's skip this and watch nAnum oru tozhilAli ".

Many of my hostelmates liked this song more than others from this movie and I couldn't understand why. To me, kanavOdu Engum was the top winner (along with its male sibling). In my books, this was an "average" song with an acceptable melody, ok orchestration and some SPB enhancements. However, most others found this fabulous, confusing me.

In any case, this was on radio frequently and on the TDKs of recording-center fans. Some of those recording center fans happened to be drivers and conductors of private buses of TN who were the primary promoters of music at one point of time. (Actually, the whole of 80's, they were as big contributors as tea shops / functions in making music available to public).

As there was public acceptance, the song gets featured here

Actually, the KJY number 'idhazhil amudham' was also very popular with me (at par with kanavOdu Engum).

I'll have to skip the other SPB number 'thuLLum iLamai idhu' which didn't find as much acceptance as the other numbers from this movie. My hostelmates didn't care, not much public response as well. I liked the song, however, and listened to it on headphone quite a lot

நீங்க தமிழ்ல Comedy Central சேனலே ஆரம்பிக்கலாம் - அந்த அளவுக்கு திறமை பொங்கி வழியுது.

Who can make a laugh-a-sentence masterpiece on naan vaazha vaippen even after ignoring the chief object of ridicule for lesser humorists, in the movie _ namely silai varum thiruther aka KR Vijaya?
Ans: the inimitable grouch can.
