I don't understand Malayalam all that much but here is what I understood :) This is what I think Sharrat said:
"What can I say about Raja sir. He is a person whom I worship. In his music every bar, why, every mini bar has a significance and is clearly notated. Chitra spoke about Raja sir's BGM. I was once present when the BGM was being composed. First they ran the reel. The scenes were very simple. Some rocks, then some fields, a bird and then in a low angle a girl. The girl was ordinary looking. This was the heroine introduction scene. Once the scene stopped, Raja sir started writing the notation. There was pin drop. I was afraid to even breathe. When the scene was again shown and the BGM was played, my eyes filled with tears. For the music matched every part of the scene. It changed perfectly when the bird was shown. With music in the background, the ordinary looking girl looked like Aishwarya Rai. Why Aishwarya Rai, it seemed as if she was a 'devathai' who has descended from the heavens. Such is the power of Raja sir's music."
