Sharreth

Sharreth’s career, honestly, is a bit of a rollercoaster through Malayalam cinema’s musical landscape. His name pops up every time someone talks about “Ivan Megharoopan” from 2012—a film that, let’s not kid ourselves, is basically a fever dream of poetry and pain. The guy’s ability to craft music that just seeps into your bones? Unreal. That soundtrack didn’t just set the mood, it pretty much *became* the mood. Before that, he was behind “180” in 2011, which bounced between languages and genres like it was showing off. Sharreth’s style there—man, it’s smooth, kind of melts right into the story, no matter which language you’re watching. But, c’mon, if you’re going to talk about Sharreth, you’ve gotta mention “His Highness Abdullah” from way back in 1990. That film isn’t just a classic—it’s like, legendary status. The music, honestly, still gives people chills decades later. There’s this old-school magic in the way he weaves classical vibes with straight-up emotional gut punches. Singers love working with him, apparently, because he pushes them but also gives them room to shine. You can tell he grew up with a deep love for Indian classical music, but he doesn’t stick to just one formula—dude experiments. Across his filmography, you’ll find everything from haunting melodies to full-on bangers. If you’re into film music that actually tries something different instead of recycling the same five notes, Sharreth’s discography is definitely worth a deep dive.
