Neelambari and Kurinji

I think generally songs in Kurinji do not go beyond D2 whereas Nilambari has wide range of Sancharams ?

Padam in raga kurinji -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWpCfe4Qlbs -
this is a movie clip (telugu movie - pooja phalam with ANR Jamuna Savitri) - this clip is a dance by the famous L Vijayalakshmi - for a Javali in Raga Kurinji - composed in 18th century by Ghanam Seenayya; it is in Telugu.
the music set is quite fast paced - which is quite in contrast to the rather leisurely raga kurinji it is supposed to be tuned to.

how to differentiate between
kurinji and navroj.
navroj and neelambari

[shreyas]

In fact, it is not very difficult to distinguish between these two ragas. Neelambari has a lot of rgmGs phrases with that lullaby-like lilt, and a lot more PNS and SNP phrases (for examples of all these, listen to Madhava Mamava deva, Amba Nilayatakshi, Panchasayaka Janakan, Tholliunu Maragu and the likes). Kurinji is just Sankarabharanam from D to D (Muddugare yasoda). In fact, I believe that Neelambari and Kedaram is the pair that is tougher to differentiate.

Is there any jathi or sholkattu based composition in neelambari ragam ??
