I think there is also a native language preference here. Hindi audience will
primarily appreciate Dil Se more, the influences being the sufiana music and
the
exquisite lyrics. Chayya Chayya's lyrics just accentuate the music too.
Kandukondein and Alaipayuthey were natively done in Tamil with a lot of songs
with carnatic classical feel also. This might explain why one set of audience
identifies more with one body of work than the other. I am NOT saying the
tamilians will like the tamil songs and the hindi guys will like Dil se, but
there will be a preferred identification one or the other for many people (not
all).
In some sense my basic point is that KK and Dil Se are not really comparable.
They both have a unique flavor and are unique pieces of work. Just because of
the common point being Mani Ratnam, I do not think we should rank them on the
same scale.

i may not be agreeing this time , no doubt KK is a beautiful album but DIL SE
is
far superior stuff and even better than THE MUSIC of other movies of MANI
RATNAM. i mean just look at the imagination of each and every song of dil se
its breath taking guys, for me super class . the sound of dil se is universal
,
i personally think this album made A R RAHMAN the king of music. the popularity
of the album still not fading away a bit after 12years now.
but thanks KISHORE for elaborating your point and dinesh for your all courteous
and affirmative reply.
regards,
taimur
