'Cycle' songs dominate Malayalam music chart

By Paresh C. Palicha

Kochi, Feb 21 Songs of the film "Cycle" make an entry in the latest music chart, which is dominated by youthful tunes.

The top five Malayalam songs are:

1. "Puthiyoreenam" - Film: "Cycle"; Music: Mejo Joseph; Lyrics: Anil Panachooran; Singers: Karthik and Vineeth Sreenivasan. This New Year song with a "boys' night out" theme works out well.

2. "Kannadi Kottile" - Film: "Calcutta News"; Music: Deb Jyothi Misra; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: Chitra, Vanitha and Vijitha. This is a girls' day out song with the same effect as "Puthiyoreenam" from "Cycle".

3. "Varnapainkili" - Film: "Cycle"; Music: Mejo Joseph; Lyrics: Anil Panachooran; Singer: Vineeth Sreenivasan. A lovelorn Vineeth Sreenivasan acts and sings the song shot in Singapore.

4. "Snehathin Koodonnu" - Film: "College Kumaran"; Music: Ousepachan; Lyrics: Shibu Chakravarthi; Singers: Karthik and Aparna. A token song from the movie, it has Mohanlal dancing with a bunch of college students.

5. "Akale Oru" - Film: "Calcutta News"; Music: Deb Jyothi Misra; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: Chitra and Asmintha Sengupta. A distinct sound created by a Bengali composer has enhanced impact.
