Anuragakilivathil by Harishankar, Sangeetha Srikanth

Harishankar, Sangeetha Srikanth has delivered memorable performances before, but Anuragakilivathil sits comfortably among the very best. Behind the melody is the work of Bijibal, whose composition choices give Anuragakilivathil its distinctive texture.

Harishankar, Sangeetha Srikanth'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 Anuragakilivathil a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

2020 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Anuragakilivathil was among the reasons why. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

At 4:21, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Malayalam in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
