[Jason Bourne]

Which song according to you is the best in the following combos

ARR with

Chitra -
Shankar mahadevan

My pick would be

Chitra -  Malargale :)
Shankar mahadevan- Uppu karuvadu and Yenna Solla Pogirai
Hariharan- pachai nirame
SPB- thangathamarai magale
Sujatha- netru illatha maatram
Unnikrishnan- Uyirum Neeye
Sonu- Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna - perfection :)
