Oonjal by P. Susheela

P. Susheela has delivered memorable performances before, but Oonjal sits comfortably among the very best. The music, composed by P. Susheela, G. Devarajan, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

P. Susheela inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. Hearing Oonjal without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Oonjal.

2026 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Oonjal was among the reasons why. Some music is background. Oonjal demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

At 3:45, 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.
