• Kochi, Oct 19 (IANS) To say that music of "Classmates" has become popular would be an understatement. It dominates the charts.
  
  The top five Malayalam songs are:
  
  1. "Ente khalbile" - Film: "Classmates"; Music: Alex Paul; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: Sujatha & Vineeth Sreenivasan. This song refuses to move from the top position. It seems that this is going to be one of the biggest hits of young Vineeth Sreenivasan's career.
  
  2. "Kaattaadi" - Film: "Classmates"; Music: Alex Paul; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: Vidhu Prathap, Reju Joseph, Ramesh Babu and Cicily. This is a group song about college years - excursions and all the good things done together. It plays up the nostalgia.
  
  3. "Chandirane" - Film: "Mahasamudram'. Music: M. Jayachandran. Lyrics: Kaithapram. Singer: Alex. A couple of songs that are not from "Classmates" find their way into this list. This is one of them.
  
  4. "Kathuirna" - Film: "Classmates"; Music: Alex Paul; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: Devanand, Jyotsna and Soniya. "Classmates" is a rare phenomenon in recent times where music plays an integral part of the narrative, and that is the reason for its success.
  
  5. "Kando Kando" - Film: "Mahasamudram"; Music: M. Jayachandran; Lyrics: Kaithapram; Singers: G. Venugopal and K.S. Chitra. Another non-'Classmates' song that appears on this list. Jayachandran is believed to trust melody. This is just one example.
