The music video, with its title translating to 'prayer', is a wonderful splash of colors, matched in its approach by the overall aesthetic and ambience of the narrative. Similar visuals of a man lying down against different backgrounds are put next to each other to enhance it all. The video thus becomes a stringing together of vast expanses of the sea, rocks and the endless sky, as if viewed from the eyes of a divine being looking down upon earth from their heavenly abode. <br><br>
The sole character of the video sings to an unnamed, nondescript god about the state of things on the planet. Even as he sings for protection from imminent obstacles, there is still the invocation of an unexpected, uplifting sense of hope and warmth. The vocals are equally matched, and ensure that the final result is presented forth in a balanced, wholesome manner.

The music video presents a passage of time and the different stages of a relationship nestled within it. What starts as the solitary existence of an artist becomes a journey from isolation to community and forming a family. The video is defined by heartwarming and uplifting visuals. They are then tied with soulful Tulu vocals by Praveen Alva, and a fixed frame, to achieve all of this and some more, with ease. 

<br><br> Sometimes stories and narratives try a little too passionately to conjure magic, and ironically, that is precisely where the magic gets lost. For ‘Ninna Suttaya’ (Around You), its simplicity and directness of approach and storytelling remain its biggest strengths, allowing it to convey everything it intends to with lucidity of portrayal and communication.
