Manasinte Dhukhangalellam by Biju Kanjirappally, Andriya Susan, Wilson Piravom, Fr. Mathew Puthenparambil

The Manasinte Dhukhangalellam album has several strong tracks, but Manasinte Dhukhangalellam is the one most listeners come back to first. Biju Kanjirappally sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

Biju Kanjirappally, Andriya Susan, Wilson Piravom, Fr. Mathew Puthenparambil understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Manasinte Dhukhangalellam a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

Released in 2020, it arrived at a time when Malayalam music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. Manasinte Dhukhangalellam is the song for the end of a long day when you want music that understands something without being asked to explain it.

The 4:22 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
