Vishnu Vijay
Vishnu Vijay, born in Kerala on May 20, 1989, is one of those rare composers who can just flip the script on what you expect from film music. Seriously, this guy isn’t just ticking boxes—he’s out here setting the mood, the tone, the whole vibe for some pretty iconic movies. Take “Guppy” (2016) for example. The soundtrack? Absolute magic. It’s not just background noise—it’s woven right into the fabric of the story, making every moment hit harder. And then there’s “The Man Who Knew Infinity.” Wild, right? A film about Srinivasa Ramanujan, a genius mathematician, gets this lush, emotional score that you wouldn’t expect, but it totally works. Vishnu’s music finds a way to sneak into your head and stay there.
Fast forward to “Sulaikha Manzil” (2023), and you can tell Vishnu’s just gotten even better at his craft. The way he uses traditional sounds and blends them with modern beats? Insane. You hear his stuff and you just know—yep, that’s Vishnu Vijay. He’s got this knack for making music feel personal. It’s not just about catchy tunes; it’s about capturing the soul of the film. Growing up in Kerala probably had a lot to do with his unique style—there’s a richness and depth to his work you don’t always find in mainstream stuff. Bottom line, if you see his name on a movie, you know the soundtrack’s gonna be something special.
