Pranasakhiyen by Jithin Kalabhavan

Some songs are made for a single moment. Pranasakhiyen is made for all of them. The arrangement here is the work of Noushad Parannur, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

What sets this recording apart is how Jithin Kalabhavan handles the emotional weight — never overplaying, never holding back. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2020 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Pranasakhiyen was among the reasons why. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

At 4:27, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. Songs like Pranasakhiyen are the reason people fall in love with Malayalam music and never quite fall out of it.
