Maangalyam From Bangalore Days

Defining itself as THE malayalee wedding banger of the decade, this ever popular song featuring Nasriya, Nivin Pauly and Dulquer Salmaan is a catchy, catchy bugger. Play it at the very start and watch the dancing crowd swell.

Entammede Jimikki Kammal From Velipadinte Pusthakam

Entammede Jimikki Kammal walked so that Maangalyam could run as a wedding song. Peppy to the boot and with fastest 49 million views at its prime time, this number is for the young, naughty part of the groovers to show up. No malayalee who doesn't know each word of the entire song.

Appangal From Ustad Hotel

Appangal is a pan Indian favourite from the mid 2010s when just the tune could make the entire indian population dance, regionality notwithstanding. A pre product of digital virality, this song is a mood booster and watch the ammachi put two steps also.

O Rabba Bhayangariya From Godha

This is for the manavaalan and his squad to tease the bride and her squad. Playing out the mischief and celbratory mood perfectly, do not forget to add this one.

Manavaalan Thug From Thallumaala

Speaking of some groom magic, another umissable recent hit is Manavaalan Thug. With its malabari weight and topnotch arrangement, this song might have been a major reason for the movie's success.

Thinkale Poothinkale From Kalyana Raman

Get ready to catch some nostalgia with the evergreen Kalyana Raman music at the party. Synchronously, this controversial star Dileep-starrer, is also about wedding. So while we recommend this particular song for its vibes, you will find more in its discography.

Chingamasam Vannu Chernaal From Meesha Madhavan

Remember the infectious energy and pep-filled voice of Rimi Tomy? She outdoes herself in this fun song and you cannot miss it in your playlist. And with that, first section of high energy songs take a breather.

Kaakala Kannamma From Oru Yathramozhi

A wedding melody party without Ilayaraaja is like a wedding feast without sweets. This beautiful number featuring Mohanlal is a winner of all hearts and a keeper of all kinds of fun momentum.

Kannaadi Koodum Kooti From Pranayavarnangal

That's a classic! A timeles song from the perspective of the bride. Coy and beautiful this would be the perfect song to start off the dancing battle from the bride and her gang's side. Let the female power flow. 

Chulam Adichu From Summer in Bethlehem 

This can be called the 90s soundtrack to the girl gang mischief and bratness. Mobility and independence considered, the visualisation of this song also gave a wholesome picture of the beautiful bonds that are female friendships.

Confusion Theerkaname From Summer in Bethlehem

Another unmissable one from the same movie that gave us the preceding banger. Get it, girl gang!!

Mylanchi Song By Jassie Gift and Afsal

Giving the mood of a late night gossip and knowledge transfer session between the women of a friends group, this song with beautiful ghazal influence is so good that we can almost smell the wet mylanchi art on the bride's hands.

Onakka Munthiri From Hridayam

This beautiful modern number that is a take on an older tune is a perfect tune for the couple to give up the dance battles and join forces while the bride squad and the groom squad settle their differences and together tease the couple.

Kettile Kottayathoru From Maanyashree Vishvaasamithran

Throwing back to classics, this bop is one that every child has been taught during their holidays when the power cuts took place. Filled with innocence and storytelling, be ready for the 'ohhhhhh' of recognition.

Mehrubha From Perumazha Kaalam

Swaying is least of the promises with this one! Teasing the bride, this song is a mood setter for the evening when the guests are tired from all the dancing and just want to groove in their seats.

Aavanipponoonjal From Kottaramveetile Apputtan

This song is to a malayalam wedding playlist what Appu is to malayalee names of endearment. An unmissable love song with declarations and poetic imagination.

Ambalapuzha Unnikannanodu Nee From Advaitam
