Nanni Nanni Nalla by K.G. Markose

The Nanni Nanni Nalla album has several strong tracks, but Nanni Nanni Nalla is the one most listeners come back to first. The production by Fr. Jose Tharappel is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The performance by K.G. Markose is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Nanni Nanni Nalla a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

In 2020, Malayalam produced many songs, but Nanni Nanni Nalla was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. 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.

At 3:27, 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.
