Bangla Gaan

There are a few classic bengali songs which are such classics, that even a non-bengali Calcuttan like me just can’t get enough of them. Some of the most soothing numbers in the Adhunik (modern) Genre are Nilanjana (A set of 4 songs, of which Song 3 is ultimate), 2441129 (yes, that’s the name of the song - good potrayal of a plausible real-life event), Anirban (1 & 2). Some older songs are “Akdin” by Kishoreda,  “Ekiholo kano holo” (translated from the Hindi song “Yeh Kya Hua”), etc. Recommended even for people who cannot undestand bangla !

  2. I think the song is 2441139.
    Being a non-Bengali Calcuttan like you, I’m not 100% sure but I’ve hummed the song long enough during my college days.

    “Ekiholo kano holo” (translated from the Hindi song “Yeh Kya Hua”), etc. Recommended even for people who cannot undestand bangla !

    Sorry again, I think the Hindi version is a translation of the Bengali version. The movie concerned was a remake of a Bengali movie and hence the song was translated for the Hindi movie.

    Correct me if I’m wrong.
