Shaakuntalam’s Mallika Mallika: The Samantha Ruth Prabhu song is all about a woman’s longing for her lover

The first song from Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Shaakuntalam is out. Titled Mallika Mallika, the track is composed by Mani Sharma and sung by Ramya Behara. The lyrical video doesn’t feature any visuals from the film, but the stills pretty much hint at the tone of the song.

“Mallika Mallika”, written by Chaitanya Prasad, is a song about a woman’s longing for her lover. It’s safe to assume that the heroine in the song fends off her loneliness in the companionship of birds and animals in the forest as she waits for her lover to return to her.

Here is the song:
