The album was released through the production company itself on 12 September 2025, fifteen days after the film's original release.

Background

[edit | edit source]

Jakes Bejoy composed the film score and soundtrack in his first collaboration with Dominic Arun.[1][2] The score emphasizes orchestral, tribal and contemporary elements fusing with world music. The music encapsulated elements of folklore bridging traditional and contemporary sounds, while sound design also helped in delivering the intended emotional depth.[3]

Lyricist Harinarayanan had constructed a new language called Mozhika, which blended five different languages to form a separate dialect.[4] According to co-writer Santhy Balachandran, the newly constructed language "captured the philosophy of indigenous folk as custodians of wisdom and protectors of nature".[5] Much of the musical score and lyrics accompany the Mozhika dialect, to reflect the tribal nature.[4]

Release

[edit | edit source]

The promo song "Thani Lokah Murakkaari" was released as the first single on 19 August 2025.[6][7] The song was performed by Jyoti Nooran, one of the Nooran Sisters in her Malayalam singing debut along with Shillong-based rapper Reble in her Indian playback singing debut.[8] The second song "Shoka Mookam" performed by Benny Dayal, Pranavam Sasi and J'mymah was released on 3 September.[9] The third song "Queen of the Night" written and performed by Zeba Tommy,[10] was released on 10 September.[11] The soundtrack in its entirety was released through the production company on 12 September, two weeks after the film's release.[12]

Reception

[edit | edit source]
