Amaran by Manu Manjith, Justin Varghese, Job Kurian

There is an honesty to Amaran that separates it from most Malayalam songs released around the same time. The music, composed by Justin Varghese, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The performance by Manu Manjith, Justin Varghese, Job Kurian is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2026 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Amaran was among the reasons why. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

Running to 4:50, 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 Manu Manjith, Justin Varghese, Job Kurian and Justin Varghese, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
