Vilakku Koluthivarum by Vidyasagar, M.G. Sreekumar, Sujatha Mohan

Few songs from 2026 have held their ground as well as Vilakku Koluthivarum, a track that keeps finding new audiences. Vidyasagar sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Vilakku Koluthivarum, Vidyasagar, M.G. Sreekumar, Sujatha Mohan clearly belongs in the second group. Hearing Vilakku Koluthivarum without thinking of Mohanlal, Soundarya is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Vilakku Koluthivarum.

2026 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Vilakku Koluthivarum was among the reasons why. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

The concision of Vilakku Koluthivarum — just 5:11 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. The track stands as evidence that Vidyasagar, M.G. Sreekumar, Sujatha Mohan and Vidyasagar, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
