Srijit pens a song for Pratim!

Directors collaborating with one another is nothing new, but when done well, they add a new dimension to a project. At a time when Anjan Dutt, director of more than 20 films, is enjoying the positive feedback to his ‘failed director’ role in Srijit Mukherji’s Uma, the latter has gone on to collaborate with another director — Pratim D Gupta. Srijit has penned the lyrics for Monta ahare in Pratim’s new film, Ahare Mon, the music for which is scored by Neel Dutt.Sung by Durnibar Saha, the song is already playing on everyone’s lips. “I can’t stop humming the song; it’s so good. About the picturisation, Ritwick (Chakraborty) and I bring a fun chemistry on screen, even though I loved Chitrangada’s scenes the most. This is also the first time I heard Durnibar sing and he’s mighty good. But Srijit’s heart-wrenching lyrics are certainly the show-stealer,’ said Parno Mittra, one of the leads in the film.
