Hi Karthik,
If you see the place where Nityashree sings
"Suriyan vanthu vaa enum pothu..." it is DITTO DITTO
COPY OF "Vaanathil meedu mayil aada kanden...". There
is a lot of difference between inspiration and lift.
I would NOT AGREE with you in this regard. ARR might
have classical knowledge which I don't deny but most
of his classical songs are HEAVILY INSPIRED.. Another
one which I remember is "En veettu thottathil..." If
you listen to the original version (which I am not
sure..) is exactly the same.
Rgds,
Pavana Kumar C.M
