Sarkeet’s Soundscape Arrives
Govind Vasantha’s original background composition for the Malayalam drama Sarkeet has been released across all major streaming platforms. Branded as a “Scored to stir,” the album debuted on the film’s official channels this week, following a social media post announcing “Scored to stir. Sarkeet original background score is live.🤍” The movie, a #GovindVasantha musical directed by Thamar and presented by Ajith Vinayaka Films in association with Action Filmz, is already screening in theaters nationwide.
Sony Music South and various digital outlets have made the full score available for fans and critics alike. Ranging from haunting violin motifs to rhythmic percussion pulses, Vasantha’s compositions underscore the emotional journey of the film’s characters, led by comedian-turned-actor Asif Ali.
Behind The Musical Magic
Govind Vasantha, known for his layered scores in South Indian cinema, crafted Sarkeet’s soundtrack to blend classical instrumentation with modern production. While the theatrical release features songs sung by the cast, the background score album focuses purely on instrumental pieces that guide the narrative’s tension and release.
In a statement shared on the production’s Instagram, Vasantha wrote, “Every note carries the heartbeat of the story. I wanted listeners to relive the film’s highs and lows through melody alone.” Early reactions online praise the composer’s ability to evoke deep emotion in scenes of hope, heartbreak and redemption.
An earlier post from the Sarkeet handle highlighted the film’s jukebox approach.

Asif Ali’s Cinematic Melody
Leading the cast, Asif Ali brings earnest warmth to Sarkeet’s protagonist. A familiar face in Malayalam cinema since his 2009 debut, Ali has built a reputation for versatile performances—ranging from lighthearted comedy to intense drama. His portrayal in Sarkeet anchors the story, and the score often mirrors his character’s internal struggles.
According to his official Instagram, Ali has embraced the musical side of the project: “Working on Sarkeet was a chance to dive into a world where music speaks louder than words,” he wrote alongside promotional stills. As the film’s official brand ambassador, Ali has helped spotlight both the songs and the instrumental score in media appearances and fan events.
Where To Listen
Fans can stream the Sarkeet background score on Spotify, Apple Music, JioSaavn and Amazon Music under the title “Sarkeet (Original Background Score).” Each platform features a full playlist of 15 tracks, including opening overtures, action cues, and the finale suite. For those who prefer physical copies, the production announced a limited-edition vinyl pressing available through the Ajith Vinayaka Films merchandise portal.
Beyond the score, the Sarkeet Instagram regularly updates audience reactions, showtime schedules and exclusive content. Recent posts celebrate international screenings—especially in Australia, where the film opens on May 15, supported by regional partner CyberSystems Entertainment.
Moreover, local radio stations have begun featuring select themes on air, noting the score’s versatility for independent listening. Several music critics have recommended the album as a top pick for fans of contemporary Indian film music.
Sarkeet’s soundtrack release underscores the growing importance of background scores as standalone works of art. As Govind Vasantha’s arrangements find their way into playlists and daily commutes, the composer’s subtle interplay of strings, woodwinds and electronic elements promises to leave a lasting imprint on listeners.
With the film still in theaters and the score now at listeners’ fingertips, Sarkeet has firmly established itself as both a cinematic and musical event. Whether you’re drawn by the story, the performances, or the melodies, the soundtrack offers a new way to experience Thamar’s vision long after the credits roll.
