I got curious about this thread when I saw the name 'Jikki' (Jikki Krishnaveni), known as the Southern Geeta Dutt!!
Venkat ji, I listened to the song several times and really Jikki ji has a very melodious voice. Its really nice to know about this "Geeta Dutt" of South.
Its amazing to see that Geeta ji has sung songs in several films which were remakes of original Tamil/Telugu films. Chandralekha, Mangala, Sansar, Mr Sampat, Patal Bhairavi, Ladki are some of the examples. This is a great example of musical harmony in our country.
Warmest Regards

Actually, it is not that Jikki's voice is exactly like Geeta's, but somewhat similar with some nasality,etc.
In fact, P.Suseela is the undisputed 'Southern Lata', S.Janaki more or less the 'Southern Asha' and then, when it comes to Southern Geeta, this Jikki comes the closest!
I am uploading here one very nice Telugu song by
Jikki Krishanveni from Film:Pelli Kanuka(1960), composed by Jikki's husband, A.M.Raja, who was a noted Singer-cum-MD in Telugu and Tamil movies.
"Pulakinchani Madi Pulakinchu, Vivnipinchani Kadha Vinipinchu Kanipinchani Aasala Ninchu"
Here it is.

PS. Incidentally, this Telugu Film, Pelli Kanuka (1960) has also a Hindi Cousin--Nazraana(1961), starring Raj Kapoor and Vyjayantimala--MD:Ravi!!!
