Music Director

The audio release function of Vellithira was held with several film personalities participating in the grand function including composer A. R. Rahman who appreciated Alphons for the good orchestration of the songs. The songs especially Hridayasakhi and Nee Manimukiladakal won him immediate attention. Kera Nirakal from Alphons' next film Jalotsavam was a super hit and won him critical accolades. The next superhit from Alphons came with Amal Neerad directed superhit movie Big B in which the songs Vida Parayukayano sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Muthu Mazhai got high acclaims.
