Some melodies transcend time, remaining fresh in the hearts of listeners for decades. One such evergreen track is 'Enthanennodonnum' from the 2007 Malayalam campus drama 'Goal'. Eighteen years after its release, the song continues to resonate, a fact recently celebrated by the film's leading lady, Aksha Pardasany, in a wave of nostalgia shared with her fans.
A Heartfelt Tribute on Social Media
Aksha Pardasany recently took to Instagram to share a poignant reel, beautifully transitioning from a contemporary chic look to an elegant saree-clad avatar. The visual journey was accompanied by a heartfelt message for her admirers, particularly those in Kerala. She expressed her enduring gratitude for the unwavering love the film and its iconic song have received.
"If Goal was made today..." she began her caption, acknowledging the song's surprising trendability even after nearly two decades. "Ever grateful for the love I've received and continue to receive for this film and this song. Even after all these years, the song is still trending. You all know how to keep your art alive and keep it close to your heart. Forever thankful for what this film did for me, and for all the doors it opened. My Kerala peeps, this one's for you," she wrote.
The Legacy of the Film 'Goal'
Directed by Kamal, 'Goal' was a vibrant blend of sports, youthful romance, and memorable music that captured the imagination of a generation. The film starred Aksha Pardasany alongside Rahman, Mukta George, and Rejith Menon. A significant pillar of its success was the stellar soundtrack composed by Vidyasagar.
The song 'Enthanennodonnum', lovingly rendered by singers Shwetha Mohan and Devanand, became an anthem. Its lasting popularity is a testament to the film's cultural impact and the timeless quality of its music.

The film 'Goal' marked Aksha Pardasany's entry into Malayalam cinema, a debut she made while still attending school. Despite her young age, her performance was noted and appreciated, providing a crucial launchpad for her career in the film industry.
Her journey into the world of glamour began early, with modelling assignments starting as early as class 8. This was followed by numerous television commercials, which honed her screen presence before her big-screen debut.
