Puthiya Vazhi by Najim Arshad, Arun Vijay

Puthiya Vazhi arrived from the Puthiya Vazhi album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2021. The production by Arun Vijay is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Najim Arshad, Arun Vijay delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. On screen, Kalidas Jayaram, Aparna Balamurali bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2021 marked the release of Puthiya Vazhi, and Puthiya Vazhi was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Puthiya Vazhi is the song for the end of a long day when you want music that understands something without being asked to explain it.

In 4:07 minutes, Puthiya Vazhi builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. For anyone yet to hear Puthiya Vazhi, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
