Kerala hums songs from Vishu films

Songs from films released during Vishu make it to this list, with "Thala" from "Chotta Mumbai" topping the charts.

The top five Malyalam songs are:

1. "Thala" - Film: "Chotta Mumbai"; Music Director: Rahul Raj; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: Sankar Mahadevan, Arjun Sasi, Sangeeth and Rahul Raj. This is a song full of zest from a fun-filled film.

2. "Kaiyetha" - Film: "Vinodayathra"; Music Director: Ilayaraja; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singer: Manjari. We get soulful music whenever director Sathyan Anthikkad and maestro Ilayaraja team up, and this song continues the trend.

3. "Sankathinu" - Film: "Panthayakozhi"; Music Director: Alex Paul; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: Vineeth Sreenivasan and Ramesh Babu. This is a philosophical, but 'danceable' song.

4. "Mandarapoo mooli" - Film: "Vinodayathra"; Music Director: Ilaiyaraja: Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: Swetha and Madhu Balakrishanan. This well-picturised romantic song on Dileep and Meera Jasmine was bound to be a hit with listeners and it is.

5. "Muttathe mulle" - Film: "Maayavi"; Music Director: Alex Paul; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: K.J. Yesudas and Manjari. This song still remains on the charts, but not on the top any more.
