Mohanlal’s gripping thriller ‘Thudarum’, which has already struck gold at the box office, is all set for a refreshed theatrical run from May 16 onwards. The film, which has received critical acclaim and audience love, is now being re-released with a new twist—a high-energy track titled ‘Kondattam’.
Mohanlal shared the update
The announcement was made by Mohanlal himself via Twitter (X), where he shared a new poster of the song and wrote, “ആഘോഷങ്ങൾ തുടരാൻ നാളെ മുതൽ തീയേറ്ററുകളിൽ കൊണ്ടാട്ടം,” which translates to “Let the celebrations continue—Kondattam in theatres from tomorrow.”

‘Kondattam’ – fast fast-paced dance numberThe inclusion of the peppy ‘Kondattam’ track marks a unique move in Malayalam cinema, where a film already performing strongly is re-released with a new sequence. The song, designed to inject energy and joy into the narrative, is expected to enhance the overall appeal for both first-time viewers and fans looking to rewatch the film.
Netizens react – Was it a good decision?
Although the song ‘Kondattam’ received good response from the audiences, the audiences have mixed feelings about including a fast paced dance number in a drama thriller movie. One comment on Reddit reads, “To be very honest the song does not match the vibe of the movie only makes sense to play it before the movie starts or at interval.” Another one commented, “I was like ‘please don’t play this in post credits’ boz i was just depressed after the movie ended.” Another comment read, “The song was underwhelming, imho, considered how much they hyped.”
