It is really hard to believe TKP was responsible for the wonderful songs in Ponni Thirunaal. Oh how beautiful the songs have been composed: En sirithai, Thotta kaigal thavazhndhadhadi pattupoley, Pattu siragadithey parakkum, Veesu thendraley veesu (Lyric by Puthaneri Subramaniam), etc. If such amazing was his composing talent, certainly he is better than KVM. This cannot be true if one goes by his work in Gurudhatchanai or Selviyin selvan which were not impressive at all. But as a person who had interviewed him for a Doordarshan programme I can definitely say he would never be better than KVM as he could not even analyse or speak cogently about the excellent but less famous numbers like Vaervai thuligaley pesungal or Kannan piranthathum siraichaalai of Niyayam ketkirom or even this lilting Paesu manamey paesu or paada therinthavar padungal from Puthiya vazhkkaiLike any average fm rasika, he was talking only about Sivaji and MGR songs or Sankarabharanam songs.
