Muthuchippi by Shaan Rahman, Sachin Warrier, Ramya Nambessan, Anu Elizabeth Jose

There is an honesty to Muthuchippi that separates it from most Malayalam songs released around the same time. Shaan Rahman sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

The voice of Shaan Rahman, Sachin Warrier, Ramya Nambessan, Anu Elizabeth Jose carries Muthuchippi effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. The chemistry of Nivin Pauly, Isha Thawar is embedded in every moment of Muthuchippi, making it as much a performance as a song.

2026 marked the release of Muthuchippi, and Muthuchippi was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Listeners have described the experience of Muthuchippi differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

In 4:05 minutes, Muthuchippi builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. Years from now, Muthuchippi will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
