Unlike the high-octane energy of its predecessors, this one drapes the film in softness, offering audiences an intimate gift that feels both personal and universal. Composer Nivas K. Prasanna sprinkles his magic, while the mellifluous voices of Chinmayi Sripada and Vijay Yesudas wrap you in velvet. Penned by none other than Mari Selvaraj, the track is no ordinary cradle song – it’s a loving ode from a parent, weaving toy horses, elephants, anklets, rainbows, and moonlight into a dreamscape.
Producer Aditi Anand remembers the moment she first heard it. “It was on set, right in the middle of shooting these massive, noisy set pieces. Mari sir played me the scratch version. It was so deep, so lovely, so resonant, that I couldn’t stop asking him to send it to me. But true to form, he made me wait till today! When I finally heard the finished track in the film, I cried. It’s that moving. For me, this is the most beautiful song in the album — a father singing to his son, tender and timeless. It’s everything I love about Bison Kaalamaadan: rooted, emotional, and meant to be felt as much as heard.”
Soft, soulful, and unforgettable, ‘Cheenikkallu’ proves that the loudest celebrations don’t always come with fireworks, they come in whispers, tears, and pure cinematic magic. As Dhruv celebrates his birthday, the song garnered an overwhelming response within minutes, proving once again that the fans are always right. With tracks like these, Bison Kaalamaadan cements its place as the most-awaited movie of the year – this film simply cannot stop raiding hearts!
