Kuyile Ninde by Shafi Kollam

Kuyile Ninde is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. Shafi Kollam's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Kuyile Ninde, Shafi Kollam clearly belongs in the second group. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

The 2026 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

Running to 4:08, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
