Kiranam by Vinayak Sasikumar, A.R. Rahman, Abhilash Venkitachalam

Released as part of Gandhi Talks (Malayalam), Kiranam announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. Credit goes to A.R. Rahman, Abhilash Venkitachalam, Vinayak Sasikumar for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Vinayak Sasikumar, A.R. Rahman, Abhilash Venkitachalam's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

By the end of 2026, Kiranam had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

In 4:15 minutes, Kiranam builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
