The first song from Ram Kamal Mukherjee’s film “Binodiini – Ekti Natir Upakhyan”, titled “Kanha Tose Hryday Na Jorungi,” was unveiled at Ahindra Mancha. The launch featured a live Kathak performance by actress Rukmini Maitra, bringing the song’s intricate emotions to life on stage.
Set at a pivotal juncture in the film, “Kanha Tose Hryday Na Jorungi” captures the moment Binodini Dasi agrees to the support of Gurumukh Rai, a man instrumental in fulfilling her dream of establishing her theatre. Staying true to the filmmaker’s vision, Binodini Dasi is portrayed not as a victim of circumstances but as a resilient artist who embraced her craft with strength and determination, even amidst emotional challenges.
Written by Ram Kamal Mukherjee, composed by the film’s music directors Sourendro-Soumyojit, and rendered by Shreya Ghoshal, the song is steeped in the rich tradition of Hindustani classical music. Loosely based on Raag Manjh Khamaj, the composition incorporates elements of Kathak, evoking the grandeur of a bygone era. The choreography has been done by Manisha Basu, Souvik Chakraborty and Avyaan Roy.
