Sandhyaraagapu Sarigamalo, Priyatama

Song : Sandhyaraagapu Sarigamalo, Priyatama
Movie Name :Indrudu Chandrudu, Priyatama
Singer : S Janaki & SPB
Music Director : Illayaraja

You should listen to this two songs and tell me what is so similar about them..or what is NOT so similar about them. When I hear "Priyatama.." I have the other song running in my head so strongly, that I have to turn this off and switch to "Sandhyaragapu..". I think Sandhyaragapu is an intense, more haunting version of "Priyatama.." owing to its much richer orchestrization. "Priyatama" is an innocent version which will make you smile, while "Sandhyaraagapu" will make you exclaim "WOW!!!" The guitars in "Sandhyaragapu" are the mark of Raaja, that which makes him look much ahead of his times! I love the prelude for both the songs, a different flavour each one. If you like haunting numbers, you will LOVE these songs too!

Song : Jeevan ke har mod pe
Movie Name :Jhootha Kahin Ka
Singer : Asha Bhonsle & Kishore Kumar
Music Director : R D Burman

Firstly, I havent heard the original version yet (as I havent been able to locate it) and I would GREATLY appreciate it if anyone can mail me a link to the original version. I have heard this remix-version of the song and its a beautiful haunting number of RD Burman. I am just dying to hear Asha and Kishore steal the show in this song. The remix from the album "Ek Hasina Thi" (which also features the song "tu tu hai wahi..") is pretty neatly done too BUT for the irritating male voice. And this is a hat-trick for Uma. I wouldnt have known this song if not for her.
