Monju Thiganha by Abid Kannur

The Monju Thiganha album has several strong tracks, but Monju Thiganha is the one most listeners come back to first. The production by Abid Kannur, Saleem Kodathoor is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The vocal on Monju Thiganha is among the better performances Abid Kannur has committed to record. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

When it came out in 2026, Monju Thiganha felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. Listeners have described the experience of Monju Thiganha differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

Running to 5:23, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Malayalam in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
