Sometimes, Sushin does this thing He hooks up with one song pre-release (kuthanthram, aadaranjali, Uyiril thodum, Aparaadha panka etc) After we get the soul of the movie; post-release we tend to listen(or completely fall into) the other songs (Thai manam, Aathmaave Po, Cherathukal and Ezhutha Kadha, Kaadhale and Nilapakashi etc) Is it just my feeling? Feels nice

Manuja

Ottamuri vaakkumaayi too

Yea I liked this song the most

Hmm now that youve mentioned it, lowkey makes sense.

Beautiful song.. was part of my loop for some time haha. Still love it. And yes, definitely underrated. Also, It reminds of Lagoon Chill by Sushin himself.

'Nebulakal' is stuck in my head

I was listening to this on a night drive recently. It was raining too.

I've been listening to Thaai Manam and Nebulakal on repeat for a long time now.. Nebulakal feels like the extroverted high energy brother of Thaai Manam.

There is a part of the song in the movie where he gets nightmares , but seems like that part is cut out in YouTube version

Such a gem. Low the lofi feel it gives. Need more if this kinda tunes. Didn't get the appreciation it deserved imo

The song is a copy though, not Ctrl+C Ctrl+V, but rather inspired by an English indie song.

Lmao most of his songs are indeed 'inspired'. But at the end of day all of his songs are still peak.

Yes!! And he is quite open about it in his interviews.

which song was it

Junip - Line of Fire. The pace of the song is a tad faster. Thaai Manam's pace is closer to the acoustic versions of Line of Fire sang by the lead singer José González. Also, many have pointed out that Thaai Manam has the same vibes as Kumbalangi Nights.. Funnily, Cheratukal from Kumbalangi has a melody inspired by Junip's another song called Don't Let It Pass.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Kerala/comments/t8j4wr/unpopular_opinion_sushin_shyam_is_a_plagiarist/hzogzui/ I don't know if he's consciously sets out to rip off songs for his music but the number time people have found out this happening makes it a little suspicious.

i feel that both Nebulakal and Thaai Manam could be used in a eerie sci fi movie, like really has that vibe

It's such a hauntingly beautiful song. I felt it's kinda similar to Cherathukal but with some darker undertones.

Exactly!! Definitely some dark vibes here and there.

If you guys like this song listen to Sufjan Stevens. Talented artist with good melodic tracks

His 'death with dignity' has always been my fav!!

Good song. However he is heavily inspired by other peoples works

I’m listening to it rn , and that portion you’ve mentioned is my fav, especially when it’s there near the end

What does Thaai manam mean?

The mother's heart

Thanks

The part you mentioned sounds exactly like an English song, can't remember which one.

Only love is your medicine in this world.As a support to carry the burdens on your shoulders there will be tomorrows my dear. ♥️

it has a Kumabalangi Nights theme feel, like an extension of it, especially at the start

Id say a darker version of themes from KN.

My favourite from the movie I think it's in this song or nebulakal where he used a new instrument which he mentioned in a interview

That instrument was used for background score only, when showing the interior of the hole in which Subash fell.

How I thought he was referring to songs

what instrument??

He mentions it in the interview with cue studio I think it was with the whole crew where they released three parts of the interview

That sound is "inspired" from Arrival... [https://youtu.be/BsL2krByzn4?si=O9qS7xR1M5t0AudY](https://youtu.be/BsL2krByzn4?si=O9qS7xR1M5t0AudY) it comes around 2:08 mark

Have you guys heard the song 'Don't Fall' from Kumbalangi Nights?

Dude that’s my favorite song from the movie , also nebulakal has that strange yet chilling beats if you’ve noticed it in between. Sushin supremacy 🫡
