Allahu Allathe by Master Rasik

Allahu Allathe is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. Credit goes to for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Master Rasik inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2020 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Allahu Allathe was among the reasons why. There is no right time to listen to Allahu Allathe. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

The concision of Allahu Allathe — just 4:49 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. For anyone yet to hear Allahu Allathe, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
