Theythaka Tharam by Sooraj Santhosh

Some songs are made for a single moment. Theythaka Tharam is made for all of them. Credit goes to Anuraj O.B for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Sooraj Santhosh delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. Featuring a talented ensemble cast, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

2020 marked the release of Theythaka Tharam, and Theythaka Tharam was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. The emotional register of Theythaka Tharam is wide enough to fit celebration and solitude equally well.

In 3:20 minutes, Theythaka Tharam builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. This is music that holds up — not because it is perfect, but because it is honest, and honesty in a song is irreplaceable.
