Same song sung by two different singers in two different languages

In south Indian films it is very unusual for two different singers to sing the same song in two different languages. Usually the original singer is summoned and given the lyrics for the other language and another version is created. But there are instances when this does not happen. Music directors choose their singers based on parameters which are not very clear to the laymen. In this mini series we present those songs starting with ones sung by KJY in one language and SPB in another.

We start with Leksharchana kaNdu (malayalam) and ponnoviyam ondru (Tamil). The former has supremely poetic lyrics. You have the opportunity to compare the incomaprable greats and decide who you would like the most. Although the tamil version is kind of diluted by the not-so romantic VJ, SPB reigns supreme.
