Easy listening melody with good lyrics and some interestingly creative musical interludes. Like many other Rahman songs, it needs a few listens to get into it. The change at the end of each charanam lifts the song up.

Vocal rendition

Adithya RK’s voice is smooth and soothing and is beautifully complemented by the silky voice of Alexandra Joy. It is well within Adithya RKs comfort zone and he therefore shines in his rendition.

The lyrics have a poetic depth that is surprising, given the title of the song. There are some beautiful metaphors embedded in the song with helps on repeated listening.
