Shreya Ghoshal and Sudeep Kumar bring the haunting melody of ‘Kondoram’ to life. The lyrics, written by Rafeeq Ahammed, describe a poetic journey through nature and devotion. M. Jayachandran’s tune carries the listener into a world of sacred groves and white water lilies.
Rafeeq Ahammed paints a vivid scene with his words, saying, ‘I’ll carry you to the meadow where deer run.’ The lyricist mixes natural elements like screw-pine mats and mountain-banana groves to create a romantic and mystical atmosphere. Shreya Ghoshal’s voice adds a layer of warmth to the tale.
