Neeridum En Manassilulla by Vilayil Faseela

Some songs are made for a single moment. Neeridum En Manassilulla is made for all of them. Kozhikode Aboobacker sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

The vocal on Neeridum En Manassilulla is among the better performances Vilayil Faseela has committed to record. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Neeridum En Manassilulla finds its musical expression here — Neeridum En Manassilulla is where the film's heart beats loudest.

In 2020, Malayalam produced many songs, but Neeridum En Manassilulla was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. Listeners have described the experience of Neeridum En Manassilulla differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

The 4:53 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. The track stands as evidence that Vilayil Faseela and Kozhikode Aboobacker, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
