Meera Ram Mohan, classical and Kathakali musician sang this in the movie 'svapAnam'. The music was done by Sreevalsan J Menon.

Listening to this version of Prince Rama Varma.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn2SVjZ4Fso

There is a 'BIG' correction in this line , mAninI nI connatellAm satyam ....

Though in the Swathi website is as given above, Prince sings it as " mAninI nI connatellAm asatyam ", and that makes better sense.
