(Translation on request for NM)
Jagannathan aka Jagan pretends to be the new owner of Kanimangalam palace and throws his weight around with a few of his friends. Unnimaya and her foster dad Krishna Varma, who had lived in the palace outhouse for years taking care of it, are not happy with this newcomer and his seemingly loose ways. In a dire situation, Krishna Varma sells his harmonium to Jagan. Unnimaya finds out about it and tries to get it back to no avail. She is angry and devastated that her dad’s precious possession ends up with someone who has no respect for music. And then Jagan surprises everyone with this amazing song. 🙂

This is one of the hit songs of 90s from the blockbuster Lalettan movie Aaram Thampuran. The dialogue at the beginning of this song has the unique distinction of being much revered and much ridiculed at the same time. Malayalis make it a point to spring this dialogue on any other Malayali who seem to be going on and on about his/her own accomplishments. 😀  This is a well loved Dasettan song and a Raveendran mash masterpiece talking about Lord Krishna wandering in search of Radha possibly after a tiff between them.

like a grain of sand he is melting!]
