She feels she has been fortunate to render such popular compositions in films directed by veterans like Kamal, Sibi Malyalil, Madhupal and Lal Jose, Soumya said. Besides we have ample talent in the Malyalam industry, and I am happy that I have been able to render these songs.” There is so much of competition in the industry. “It is a herculean task to get a film song. Other hit numbers soon followed including ‘We are in Love’ (in ‘Minnaminnikootam), ‘Chiraku veeshi’ (‘Violin’) and ‘Athira’ (Apooravaragam). It was ‘Vakkinullile’ from the movie ‘Ozhimuri’, directed by Madhupal that won her several plaudits. Soumya made her debut in the Malayalam film industry after doing some jingles, with ‘Thane padum.” in ‘Arabikatha’, acknowledging that it was Bijibal who made it I am happy that it came out well,” she said. “It was a tough task as I had to be careful about my diction. The Hindi number, a duet, was crooned by Soumya and Yazim Nizar and picturised on Menon, Bhavana and others. “Bijibal goes through the lyrics… then he ensures we comprehend it and then begins composing the tune.”Īnother popular composition which was “quite a challenge” was ‘Zindagi’ from the hit movie ‘Angry Babies in Love’, starring Anoop Menon and Bhavana, which was released last month. The singer is all praise for Bijibal who she says is her mentor. It became quite popular but the film, unfortunately, did not do well, she rued. The song plays in the background and it is picturised on Asif Ali, Biju Menon and new actress Malavika, she said.

Soumya feels the year started on a bright note for her when she got to render the chirpy number ‘Ee Pooveyilil’ in ‘Pakida’. “Dulquer, Namitha song from Vikramadithyan… Dulquer is at great ease with romance.” the actor said. The lyrics are by Santhosh Varma and music by national-award-winning composer Bijibal, she said.Īnoop Menon, who plays an important role in the movie, as put the romantic song on his Facebook wall, praising Dulquer Salman. Besides, it has been beautifully picturised on Dulquer Salman and Namitha Pramod,” she told PTI. “The tonal clarity was different from the songs I have rendered so far and I am pleased with my effort.
