Palak Muchhal has recorded a female version of Chhathi Maiya, the devotional song from The Vvaan, the fantasy-adventure starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah. The new track is out now under the Zee Music label, while the film continues its theatrical run.
A new voice for a Chhath song
The original track is built around the spiritual and cultural importance of Chhath, the festival observed widely in Bihar and among communities that keep the tradition. Palak Muchhal’s version keeps that devotional centre but changes the vocal perspective. It is the same prayer, heard through a different voice.
The release gives the song a second life. Listeners who already know the original can compare the two renditions, while audiences meeting the track for the first time get a female-led devotional version that sits inside the film’s folklore-inspired world.
Why it matters
Devotional songs in Hindi cinema work differently from romantic numbers or dance tracks. They carry festival memory and regional identity, and they can keep a film in playlists long after the trailer has faded. With Chhathi Maiya, the Chhath connection gives The Vvaan a cultural touchpoint that resonates especially with audiences in Bihar and the wider community that observes the festival.
Releasing an alternate version while the film is still in theatres is also a small but useful visibility beat. It keeps the title in music conversations and devotional playlists without asking the team to mount a fresh campaign from zero.
The Vvaan’s expanding folklore universe
The film is not relying on the big screen alone. The Vvaan blends folklore and fantasy with adventure, mystery and humour, and its story is being expanded through The Legend of Vvaan comic book, which explores the larger folklore around the film’s universe.
