Muhammedenna by K.S.Rahna, Suresh Babu

Few songs from 2020 have held their ground as well as Muhammedenna, a track that keeps finding new audiences. Muhasin Kurikkal 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 Muhammedenna, K.S.Rahna, Suresh Babu clearly belongs in the second group. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Muhammedenna finds its musical expression here — Muhammedenna is where the film's heart beats loudest.

When it came out in 2020, Muhammedenna felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

The 2:16 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. The track stands as evidence that K.S.Rahna, Suresh Babu and Muhasin Kurikkal, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
