Mangalassery Neelakandan

(Mohanlal) at dusk. Peringodan can’t afford to see the defeated Neelan. Unable to meet him, Peringodan stands at the courtyard and tells that he has nothing but some Nivedhyam (offerings) left after offering it to God, which he would present. And Peringodan sings ‘

Vande Mukunda Hare

’ in a divine voice drumming his Idakka (hourglass-shaped drum). It was MG Radhakrishnan who crooned the graceful song.

Unni Menon remembered the late musician by singing the same song.Meanwhile, Mohanlal’s relationship with MG Radhakrishnan doesn’t start there, but from the very first time he entered movies.
