Divine Melodies for Chhath: ‘The Vvaan’ Makers Unveil Soulful Female Rendition of ‘Chhathi Maiya’ Sung by Palak Muchhal

Celebrating the deep-rooted cultural pride and festive fervour of Chhath Puja, the creators of the folklore fantasy entertainer The Vvaan have unveiled a soulful female version of their track ‘Chhathi Maiya’. Rendered by acclaimed playback singer Palak Muchhal and released under the Zee Music label, this new rendition infuses the revered traditional hymn with gentle spiritual resonance and emotional warmth. The original anthem had already struck a chord with audiences across northern and eastern India, and Muchhal’s soothing vocals elevate the devotional ethos woven into the film’s mythic narrative.

Palak Muchhal Breathes Devotional Grace into Sacred Folk Hymn

The newly released rendition is composed by Vishal Mishra with lyrics penned by Kaushal Kishore, paying heartfelt homage to Mata Devsena and the solar rituals of Chhath. Palak Muchhal brings a serene, classical texture to the track, capturing the purity and unyielding devotion of millions of devotees who offer arghya during the festival. Her emotive vocal delivery complements the devotional weight of the lyrics, offering listeners a contemplative experience that bridges cinematic music with sacred folk traditions.

Blending Regional Heritage with Folklore Fantasy

Starring Sidharth Malhotra alongside Tamannaah Bhatia, The Vvaan draws deeply from Indian folklore, native legends, and rural heritage. The inclusion of a dedicated Chhathi Maiya devotional piece highlights the production team’s conscious commitment to grounding fantasy storytelling in living cultural traditions. Rather than treating regional rituals as mere background elements, the film embeds the spiritual reverence of eastern India directly into the narrative journey of its characters. To expand the lore even further, the creators previously launched The Legend of Vvaan comic book series, introducing readers to the mythical universe before the theatrical release.

Creative Collab of TVF, Deepak Mishra, and Ektaa R Kapoor Drives Success

Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures in association with TVF (The Viral Fever) and 11:11 Production, the film marks a unique creative collaboration between TVF founder Arunabh Kumar, Panchayat director Deepak Mishra, and producer Ektaa R Kapoor. Screenplay written by Kumar and visually steered by cinematographer Manu Anand, the production has sustained steady commercial legs at the box office, crossing the 76-crore mark through family footfalls. With the release of this female rendition, the film’s music portfolio broadens its cross-generational appeal just ahead of the festive season.
