ee chaitra veeNa jhum jhummani from Preminchu PellaaDu

Dear SPB Fans,

A few days back I had posted a Tamil song “O Vennilaave Vaa Odivaa” from the film “Aanandha Gummi” with Music by ILayaRaja. One of our members had posted a comment indicating that there is also a Telugu version of this song. So, I am posting it here for the benefit of our Telugu members.

Song : ee chaitra veeNa jhum jhummani ….
Movie : preminchu pellaaDu (1985)
Music : ILayaRaja
Singers : SPB, SJ
Lyricist : Veturi
Director : Vamsi
Actors : Rajendra Prasad, Bhanupriya, Tulasi

The Tamil song had come out first and ILayaRaja had lifted his own tune later for the Telugu version. Only the basic tune seems to be the same. He has made some changes in the composition at some places and also in the humming part. The Tamil version had the chorus team singing the humming whereas in the Telugu version, SPB & SJ themselves have rendered it. The Tamil version has a chanting of some verses towards the end whereas the Telugu version does not have it. The Telugu version seems to project a happy mood throughout while the Tamil one had a melancholy touch in its second charanam. The orchestration in the interludes is also slightly different. Maybe the picturisation was different in telugu version. Anyhow, a good one to listen to.
