That movie came out as "Priyuraalu Pilichindi" in Telugu and in Telugu the song starts as "Dhoobuchulataelara Gopala" and means rougly the same thing, Gopala being substituted for Sri Krishna.

Bharatavarsha, you've probably watched this one already.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes I watched it but a long time ago when I was a kid so it's vague now, during those times a lot of movies used to be made in Telugu based on religious themes (these were called "Pauranika chitramulu"), a lot of them were based on Mahabharata and Ramayana, by the end of that era the word Krishna was synonomous with NTR in Telugu minds because he used to play Sri Krishna in most of the movies. Nowadays they don't make those kind of movies much anymore but once in a while good movies on various Bhaktas come out such as the one on Annamacharya and the recent one on Bhakta Ramadasu (different from Samarth Ramdas), both of them (especially the first one) turned out to be super hits.
Coming to Tamil, I watch them when they have English subtitles (not a lot though), the one that I thought was good was "Kannathil Muthamittal" (Amrutha in Telugu) about the conflict in Srilanka and of course Roja (there is also a Telugu version).
