Sam C. S. (born 30 July 1987) is a composer, singer and lyricist from Munnar, Kerala, who rose through Tamil cinema to become one of South India's most sought-after soundtrack creators. After debuting with the horror film Orr Eravuu (2010) and spending years assisting other composers, he broke through with Vikram Vedha (2017), whose songs and menacing background score topped the charts and established his reputation. He went on to score Odiyan (2018), NOTA (2018), Kaithi (2019) and RDX (2023), the last earning him the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director (Malayalam). Hindi audiences know him from the 2022 Hindi remake of Vikram Vedha, whose background score won him an IIFA technical award, and from the Disney+ Hotstar series The Night Manager (2023). In 2025 he composed the pan-Indian animated blockbuster Mahavatar Narsimha, whose devotional Hindi tracks such as 'Namaste Narsimha' and 'Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya' became major hits.
