Thulavarsham (1976) contains three Salil compositions and an extraordinary last-scene background score of layered strings and cello, capturing a deeply sorrowful emotional conclusion.

There is a fourth song, "Parayidukkil Mannundo" sung by S. Janaki, but it was not composed by Salil and therefore is not listed here.

Notes & Background

Thulavarsham features three memorable Salil compositions, along with one of the most stunning closing background pieces in Malayalam cinema. The ending scene carries layers of strings and cello that create a profound emotional impact.

The track "Yemune Ozhuku" is related to other Salil compositions across languages and stands out for its melodic elegance.

Although a fourth vocal song exists, it was composed by V. Dakshinamurthy and so is not included in Salil’s song list for this film.
