Mumbai (Anil Bedag): A powerful fusion of Maharashtra’s rich soil, folk traditions and contemporary music comes alive in Chimna, the latest song from the award-winning Marathi thriller Gondhal. The traditional folk song Ek Chimna Chivchivala has been given a refreshing makeover by rapper Badshah, who brings his signature rap swagger and contemporary hip-hop beats to the track.

Featuring the voices of Divya Kumar, Badshah, Nagesh Morvekar and Neha Khan, the song has already created a buzz among audiences following its release. What makes Chimna stand out is the way it retains the soul of the original folk melody while presenting it in a format that connects with today’s young and digital audience. The blend of traditional Maharashtrian musical elements with Badshah’s high-energy rap gives the track a distinct desi-global flavour that instantly strikes a chord.

Following its strong award-winning journey, Gondhal is now gearing up for release in Hindi and four other languages. The film tells a gripping tale of relationships caught between tradition, passion, love and betrayal. Directed by Santosh Davkhar, the film features music by legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja.
