Thiru Sannidhiyil by Kester

Thiru Sannidhiyil is one of those rare Malayalam tracks that manages to feel both fresh and familiar the moment it begins. Credit goes to Samji Arattupuzha for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

The vocal on Thiru Sannidhiyil is among the better performances Kester has committed to record. For fans of a talented ensemble cast, Thiru Sannidhiyil is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

Released in 2020, it arrived at a time when Malayalam music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. Listeners have described the experience of Thiru Sannidhiyil differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

In 4:19 minutes, Thiru Sannidhiyil builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. Songs like Thiru Sannidhiyil are the reason people fall in love with Malayalam music and never quite fall out of it.
