Kanmanipoove is the opening song from Thudarum, marking the first collaboration between Mohanlal and Shobana in over twenty years. The release on February 21 has taken listeners on a trip down memory lane, as seen in the comments on the YouTube video.

Sung by MG Sreekumar, who’s known for his iconic tracks with Mohanlal, and composed by Jakes Bejoy, this heartfelt tune revolves around family. The visuals depict a family of four, featuring Mohanlal as a taxi driver and showcasing the warm bond he shares with his wife, played by Shobana, along with their two kids. Mathew Thomas, known for his role in Anandam and Narayaneente Moonaanmakkal, portrays their son in this Tharun Moorthy-directed piece.

Fans really enjoy the chemistry between Mohanlal and Shobana in Kanmanipoove

Netizens are reminiscing about the chemistry between the lead pair in films like Nadodikattu, Pavithram, Pakshe, and TP Balagopalan MA. With Sreekumar back to provide his vocals for the track, it looks like the creators are aiming to stir up some nostalgia, similar to the vibes from Chinnamma and Minungum Minnaminuge in Priyadarshan’s Oppam nearly ten years ago.

One user remarked, “It’s been ages since we’ve heard a song that feels this good,” while another shared, “My heart is full, my eyes are teary, and my ears are at peace. It’s been a while since we had a great song like this.”

Fans also praised the visuals featuring Mohanlal and Shobana. One user noted, “It’s like seeing 90’s Mohanlal and Shobana again,” while others mentioned how this duo captures the essence of everyday people, making them relatable and lovable.

Additionally, another user pointed out that the track reminded them of Sreekumar’s Panchami Thinkal from Friends, which was composed by Ilaiyaraaja.

Thudarum launch date

The film was originally planned for a late January release, but now the team is considering dropping it in either mid-April or May. They've sold the OTT rights to JioHotstar, but sources say the producers are exploring other streaming platforms for a potentially better offer.

Mohanlal's upcoming project is Prithviraj Sukumaran’s L2: Empuraan. He also has films in the pipeline with Anoop Menon and Jeethu Joseph’s Drishyam 3.
