Porukatte by Shreya Ghoshal, Quincy Chettupally, Afzal Yusuff

The Porukatte album has several strong tracks, but Porukatte is the one most listeners come back to first. Afzal Yusuff, Shreya Ghoshal, Quincy Chettupally, Yusuf Ali Kechery's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

Shreya Ghoshal, Quincy Chettupally, Afzal Yusuff understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Porukatte, making it as much a performance as a song.

Released in 2025, it arrived at a time when Malayalam music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. There is no right time to listen to Porukatte. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

Running to 5:14, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. For anyone yet to hear Porukatte, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
