Mukil by Najeeb Rahman

Mukil arrived from the Mukil album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2026. Credit goes to Najeeb Rahman for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Najeeb Rahman brings a warmth to Mukil that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. For fans of a talented ensemble cast, Mukil is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

2026 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Mukil was among the reasons why. Mukil is the song for the end of a long day when you want music that understands something without being asked to explain it.

Running to 1:09, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Songs like Mukil are the reason people fall in love with Malayalam music and never quite fall out of it.
