Level Up by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Anand Sreeraj, MC Couper, DAWgeek, Vinayak Sasikumar

Released as part of Chatha Pacha: The Ring Of Rowdies, Level Up announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Level Up, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Anand Sreeraj, MC Couper, DAWgeek, Vinayak Sasikumar clearly belongs in the second group. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Chatha Pacha: The Ring Of Rowdies finds its musical expression here — Level Up is where the film's heart beats loudest.

2026 marked the release of Chatha Pacha: The Ring Of Rowdies, and Level Up was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

At 4:27, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Malayalam in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
