Chandhaname by Shafi Kollam

Few songs from 2026 have held their ground as well as Chandhaname, a track that keeps finding new audiences. The arrangement here is the work of Shafi Kollam, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

Shafi Kollam understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. a talented ensemble cast gave the film its soul, and Chandhaname is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

The 2026 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. Listeners have described the experience of Chandhaname differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

Running to 4:56, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The track stands as evidence that Shafi Kollam and Shafi Kollam, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
