Kastoori pottum has everything you expect out of a Raja song, Vijay Yesudas’ vocals moving through every direction the composer has conjured up in the tune…heck it even has a come-sing-along-with-me cue and a kid joins in chorus. Sreekumar’s Kando kando is yet another example – a combination of 80s Raja’s tune and the 90s Raja’s in the interludes. Manasiloru poomala, barring those awkwardly bad English intrusions, asserts the description in line one! But…there’s a small problem. Times have changed, my dear Raja! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with your music – it’s just that I’ve – unfortunately – grown out of it.
