Daiva Puthrante by Rajalakshmi

Daiva Puthrante is one of those rare Malayalam tracks that manages to feel both fresh and familiar the moment it begins. The music, composed by Joby Muttathil, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The vocal on Daiva Puthrante is among the better performances Rajalakshmi has committed to record. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Daiva Puthrante a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

In 2020, Malayalam produced many songs, but Daiva Puthrante was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

At 5:20, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
