Why should anyone really try to compare the 2 versions and pass judgement as to which one is better? I think an attempt to do a comparison is an insult to everyone involved. Right from Mani to ARR to Gulzar to Vairamuthu. Period. Remember, barring a majority of this group members and may be a few thousand other listeners, the real target listeners for these 2 versions are respective regional listeners who will never listen to any other version(s) except the one in their regional language.
