Muhabatholi Qmar by Shahid Muneer

Few songs from 2020 have held their ground as well as Muhabatholi Qmar, a track that keeps finding new audiences. Credit goes to Shahid Muneer for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

The voice of Shahid Muneer carries Muhabatholi Qmar effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2020 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Muhabatholi Qmar was among the reasons why. There is no right time to listen to Muhabatholi Qmar. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

At 5:20, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
