Calicut – April 2025 – After the success of Malabari Banger, M.H.R and JOKER390P return with Munthirichar, a high-energy track now available on all major streaming platforms. Rooted in Kerala’s rich musical heritage yet infused with global influences, Munthirichar is an electrifying anthem that celebrates confidence, charisma, and owning the spotlight.
The title of the track, which loosely translates to “apple of my eye,” reflects the song’s central theme—being “the moment.” M.H.R’s signature production blends pulsating dance beats with Arabic influences and echoes of Mappilapattu, the soulful genre known for its evocative storytelling on love, faith, and nostalgia.
“I wanted Munthirichar to feel like a festival of sound—something that makes you move but also connects with your roots.Growing up, Mappilapattu was always in the background—old cassettes playing at home, melodies that just stayed with me. The rhythm, the soul of Arabic and Mappilapattu music—it’s in my blood. With Munthirichar, I wanted to take that nostalgia and flip it into something fresh, where tradition meets the club. The moment JOKER390P came in, he took it to another level with his fire verses. It’s a celebration of confidence, energy, and being unapologetically yourself.I really do hope the audience will love this song as much as they loved our last ones.” says M.H.R.
JOKER390P adds, “Working with M.H.R is always a vibe. His soundscapes ignite ideas instantly. For Munthirichar, I wanted to capture that feeling of self-assurance and being in the limelight. It’s a track that makes you move and feel unstoppable.”
M.H.R, a pioneering Hip-Hop and EDM producer from Malappuram, is redefining India’s independent music scene with his innovative sound. JOKER390P, a rising rapper from Kerala, is known for his fearless lyricism and dynamic fusion of rap, hip-hop, and regional influences. Together, they create an irresistible synergy, making Munthirichar a must-listen.
