Aakhri Ishq by Irshad Kamil, Shashwat Sachdev, Jubin Nautiyal

There is an honesty to Aakhri Ishq that separates it from most Malayalam songs released around the same time. What makes Aakhri Ishq musically distinctive is the composition by Shashwat Sachdev, which balances simplicity with depth.

Every line Irshad Kamil, Shashwat Sachdev, Jubin Nautiyal sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Aakhri Ishq a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

Released in 2026, it arrived at a time when Malayalam music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

At 4:22, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. The track stands as evidence that Irshad Kamil, Shashwat Sachdev, Jubin Nautiyal and Shashwat Sachdev, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
