Ullu Thurannu by Ganesh Sundaram

Ullu Thurannu arrived from the Ullu Thurannu album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2026. What makes Ullu Thurannu musically distinctive is the composition by Ganesh Sundaram, Mukundadas, which balances simplicity with depth.

Ganesh Sundaram inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. Hearing Ullu Thurannu without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Ullu Thurannu.

The song dates from 2026, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. There is a quality to Ullu Thurannu that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

At 5:25, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Malayalam in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
