For me, I feel Mudhal Murai & Satru Munba to be extremely modern, from Raaja's offerings context. those songs are very different from what I usually expect from him. From that perspective, I might feel Ennodu Vaa to be dated - no negative label attached to the word here. Or to put it more clearly, I can imagine Ennodu Vaa coming out of Raaja's stable in 80s also, but I cannot imagine other songs like that. If I take a time machine, I can very well imagine a SPB singing Ennodu Vaa with those expressive smiles/laughs (like he does in Eppadi eppadi or Paattu thalaivan). In that imaginative sense, it is song that is slightly dated.. where as.. no matter what time machine I take, it will take me to 2012 only.. if its Mudhal Murai.
