Arundu Arundu by Rijiya Riyas

The Arundu Arundu album has several strong tracks, but Arundu Arundu is the one most listeners come back to first. Kozhikode Aboobaker built the instrumental foundation carefully here — every element earns its place in the mix.

The voice of Rijiya Riyas carries Arundu Arundu effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

When it came out in 2020, Arundu Arundu felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. There is no right time to listen to Arundu Arundu. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

The 6:08 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. The track stands as evidence that Rijiya Riyas and Kozhikode Aboobaker, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
