GRS , . Lovely thamizh review .... One can say Ramakrishnan About Ramakrishnan . Nice song list . For the record even before TMK , Ragam Taanam and varnam in the same ragam has been done surely by Dr M Balamuralikrishna and TN Seshagopalan (Did KVN do it , memory is bit fading not sure). Of course TMK Shuffles with different ragas. I THink BMK, TNS and RKM in this case has stucked to same raga. Nice to see your reviews kickstarted for 2025 season .Keep it flowing GRS . superb song list by RKM ...NC Bharadwaj and Kamalakiran are great artists
