Harisree Vilasam by Shankeran Namboothiri

Released as part of Harisree Vilasam, Harisree Vilasam announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. Credit goes to Pinto Thomas for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Shankeran Namboothiri inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Harisree Vilasam, making it as much a performance as a song.

The 2020 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. There is a quality to Harisree Vilasam that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

In 5:34 minutes, Harisree Vilasam builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. Harisree Vilasam has earned its place in the catalogue of Malayalam music that genuinely matters. The listeners who found it early already knew.
