Ponnalle by VM Ajith

Ponnalle arrived from the Ponnalle album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2026. VM Ajith, Thanseer Koothuparamba has a history of strong work, and the music on Ponnalle is among the most memorable of it.

VM Ajith brings a warmth to Ponnalle that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Ponnalle a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

2026 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Ponnalle was among the reasons why. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

At 5:36, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. Songs like Ponnalle are the reason people fall in love with Malayalam music and never quite fall out of it.
