Parvathi Nandana by Unnimenon

Parvathi Nandana arrived from the Parvathi Nandana album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2020. Behind the melody is the work of Chandran Ramamangalam, whose composition choices give Parvathi Nandana its distinctive texture.

Unnimenon inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Parvathi Nandana finds its musical expression here — Parvathi Nandana is where the film's heart beats loudest.

2020 marked the release of Parvathi Nandana, and Parvathi Nandana was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

In 4:09 minutes, Parvathi Nandana builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. Songs like Parvathi Nandana are the reason people fall in love with Malayalam music and never quite fall out of it.
