Uyiril Thodum by Sushin Shyam, Anwar Ali, Sooraj Santhosh, Anne Amie

Uyiril Thodum is one of those rare Malayalam tracks that manages to feel both fresh and familiar the moment it begins. Behind the melody is the work of Sushin Shyam, Anwar Ali, Sooraj Santhosh, Anne Amie, whose composition choices give Uyiril Thodum its distinctive texture.

Sushin Shyam, Anwar Ali, Sooraj Santhosh, Anne Amie's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Uyiril Thodum a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.
