Pranayanila by Deepak Dev, Shaan Rahman

Released as part of Pranayanila, Pranayanila announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. The music, composed by Deepak Dev, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

Deepak Dev, Shaan Rahman brings a warmth to Pranayanila that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. Featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Akhila, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

When it came out in 2026, Pranayanila felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. Some music is background. Pranayanila demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

The concision of Pranayanila — just 4:02 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Malayalam in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
