Central to the serial experience is the title track —a short, often lyrical composition that appears in opening credits and serves as an auditory brand for the show. Kana Kanum Kalangal debuted as the title song for the serial “Kana Kanum Kalangal” (which translates roughly to “Dreams of the Eyes”) on Sun TV in 2021.
