‘Ki Ba Tomar Ongey Rakhi’ song from ‘Rajlokhi O Srikanto’ resonates the eternal love story of Radha- Krishna

The trailer of ‘Rajlokhi O Srikanto’ has already made Bengali movie lovers talking about it. The first song ‘Amar Bhul Hoye Gyache Priyo’ has also been applauded. And now, here comes the new song ‘Ki Ba Tomar Ongey Rakhi’.
The latest track is a traditional folk Kirtan that resonates the eternal love story of Radha and Krishna beautifully written and composed by Tanmoy Sarkar.His composition and lyrics are quite true to the genre of Radha Krishna kirtan. Bablu Das’ rendition has also beautifully crafted the required feel. It’s no doubt a refreshing break from the typical sweet romantic melodies or peppy dance numbers.
The video sees the protagonists Rajlokhi and Srikanto excited about decorating their new home. We generally see the use of folk songs where the backdrop is often a rural area but on contrary to that trend, this song offers the backdrop of an urban landscape with high rise buildings and markets. Through this kirtan gharana song, director Pradipta Bhattacharya has superbly drawn parallels between the love saga of Rajlokhi-Srikanto and that of Radha and Krishna.
