Punnyangal Pookkunna by Shafi Kollam

Punnyangal Pookkunna is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. Shafi Kollam sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

Shafi Kollam's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Punnyangal Pookkunna, making it as much a performance as a song.

Released in 2026, it arrived at a time when Malayalam music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. The emotional register of Punnyangal Pookkunna is wide enough to fit celebration and solitude equally well.

The 5:10 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. The track stands as evidence that Shafi Kollam and Shafi Kollam, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
