Meghna Sumesh | Suresh G • From “Erumbu”
Chikku Bukku Chikku Lyrics Translation – Erumbu Soundtrack
Suresh G and Arun Raj contrast exam hall confinement with post-holiday liberation. Their ‘kakka kuriviya ippo parandhe ponnom’ line compares children to birds escaping a hen’s nest. Meghna Sumesh voices the shift from strict schedules to unfettered play.
