According to me: Veera and Beera sound the same. Kaata Sirukk is slightly more lively and energetic than Ranjha Ranjha. I preferred Shankar Mdvan's rendition here to Javed Alis'. Anuradha Sriram was kinda disappointing. Khili Re and its equivalent sound almost same, so does Behne De and Usure Pogudhey.
The other songs evoked the same response out of me as the Hindi Version. And I dont understand Tamil, so cant say abt the lyrics.

To: [email protected] For me, Veera and Kalvare sound slightly better than Hindi version. Usure Pogudhey is almost the same. Kaatu Sirukki is nowhere near the Hindi one. Overall Hindi version is definitely better. Although, I don't understand Tamil, but still one can always tell.

ARR's range and versatility are just mindblowing. Keda Kari was a bit louder and less melodic in choral singing overall than Kata in my opinion. Kata was overall sweeter sounding to me. > > Slight melodic variations in Kodu Poatta compared to Thok...Benny did a respectable job in my opinion, but I liked Sukhi's version better. > > Karthik's song in Tamil is equally good as the Hindi version in my opinion. > > Shreya's singing is awesome in Tamil, a bit more expressive and better tonally than Reena's version, but almost equal in quality.... > > Great to have 2 versions of this masterpiece album! >
