Agree completely, Ajit. I haven't heard enough discussions about the ESK title song, which is one of my favorites, Chitra's voice just melts my heart ...it's so beautiful, with the electric piano giving the effect of a man breathing in and out while watching a mystical beauty. Haven't seen the movie, but this is what I felt the song is trying to say.
Ale Ale from Boyz is another gem...Karthik's voice is amazing and as many had pointed out how ARR uses the chorus and Chitra (can't be the same Chitra who sings ESK title, correct?) to sing counterpoint is very unique...nothing western about that counterpoint. Virtually two melodies running in parrallel, but works amazingly well. I still haven't heard the E18U20 songs, so cannot comment on them. Hail ARR!

They are "Ale Ale" from <br> Boys, "En Swasa Katre" the title song, and "Yedho Yedho" from Ennaku <br> 20...Unnaku 18. Simply classic.
