Tara & Anya’s Mumbai Diary: Ahaana and Hansika Krishna redefine sisterhood: "POOKKAL" music video out now!

Move over Thonnal, there’s a new floral vibe in town! Today, May 8, 2026, Malayalam cinema’s favorite multi-hyphenate Ahaana Krishna officially dropped her second directorial venture, the music video "POOKKAL" (Flowers), featuring herself alongside her youngest sister and Gen-Z favorite, Hansika Krishna.

After weeks of anticipation and a teaser that practically took over social media, the full video is now live on Ahaana’s official YouTube channel.

This project marks a significant milestone in Ahaana's directorial journey. She takes the helm as director, working alongside a stellar technical crew. The music, composed by JK and sung by the soulful Neha Aneesh, perfectly complements the poetic lyrics penned by Din Nath Puthenchery. To ensure a top-tier cinematic experience, the video was edited by National Award winner Midhun Murali and features the breathtaking cinematography of Nimish Ravi, known for his work on Kurup.

If the teaser was any indication, "POOKKAL" is a visual love letter to sisterhood. Set against the vibrant, bustling backdrop of Mumbai, the story follows two characters, Tara (Ahaana) and Anya (Hansika), as they navigate life, laughter, and beautiful "everyday moments" together.

While Ahaana’s directorial debut Thonnal was a culinary-themed delight, POOKKAL leans into a more soul-stirring, aesthetic travelogue vibe. The production design, handled by the renowned Banglan, gives the video a high-budget, polished look that rivals mainstream feature films.

The teaser, which dropped on May 2, 2026, set a high bar by crossing 2 million views within days. Fans were quick to notice the natural chemistry between the sisters, with many calling it the "perfect casting." Hansika, who has been steadily growing her own massive following, proves in POOKKAL that she is a natural in front of the lens, matching her sister's seasoned screen presence frame for frame.

Ahaana Krishna continues to prove that she is a force to be reckoned with behind the camera. By choosing to direct and produce her own content, she’s carving out a unique space in the independent music scene in Kerala. With its blend of high-end visuals and emotional storytelling, POOKKAL is set to be the next big viral hit for the Krishna sisters.
