‘Thoomanju Polente’: 'Bombay Positive' song feels like a warm hug with a hint of something deeper - WATCH

The new video song 'Thoomanju Polente' from Bombay Positive dropped quietly this week — and somehow, that suits it. It’s not loud, not flashy. But by the time it’s done, you’ve probably played it twice.

Maybe more.

Lukman and Pragya: A pair that just worksThere’s a kind of magic when onscreen couples don’t act like they’re in love — they just are. Lukman Avaran and Pragya Nagra bring that kind of energy here. You don’t see the lines. You just see two people... comfortable with each other. It’s sweet, but not sugary. Soft, but not dull.They walk through frames like they’re walking through memories. And that’s rare. No forced expressions, no showy moves.

It feels honest.The song? Simple. lovely. unshakeableComposer Ranjin Raj has a knack for staying out of the way and letting the feeling breathe. This one’s no exception. 'Thoomanju Polente' is stitched together gently — just voice, melody, mood. Vijay Yesudas and Rithika Sudheer sound like they’re humming to themselves, not performing for applause.

The lyrics, by BK Harinarayanan, feel familiar in a comforting way. No metaphors that need decoding.

Just plain truth.A special nod to Roopa Revathi’s violin — it appears exactly where it needs to, no more, no less. And that restraint? That’s the real strength of the track.About the filmDirector Jeevan Kottayi may have named the film Bombay Positive, and the title does carry warmth. But the first look and the visual tones say more. There’s something layered underneath — maybe conflict, maybe quiet pain — and the music hints at it too.With Lukman and Binu Pappu teaming up again, expectations are fair. But if this song is any clue, 'Bombay Positive' might just offer something deeper than a feel-good ride. It might offer reflection.On the other hand, Lukman was recently seen in the Naslen starrer 'Alappuzha Gymkhana' which turned out to be a superhit.
