Mizhi Mizhi by Shreya Ghoshal, Haricharan

Shreya Ghoshal, Haricharan has delivered memorable performances before, but Mizhi Mizhi sits comfortably among the very best. Shaan Rahman's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

Shreya Ghoshal, Haricharan brings a warmth to Mizhi Mizhi that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. Featuring a talented ensemble cast, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

2018 marked the release of Mizhi Mizhi, and Mizhi Mizhi was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

The concision of Mizhi Mizhi — just 3:48 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. For anyone yet to hear Mizhi Mizhi, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
