Boka Boka Ei Mon by Anupam Roy

Boka Boka Ei Mon arrived from the Boka Boka Ei Mon album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2021. Soumya Rit sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

Anupam Roy understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. The song is tied to Swastika Mukherjee, Soham Chakraborty, Barkha, Bishat Sengupta, whose presence gives Boka Boka Ei Mon a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

The song dates from 2021, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. Some music is background. Boka Boka Ei Mon demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

Running to 4:17, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The staying power of Boka Boka Ei Mon is not a mystery. It is just what happens when every element of a song is exactly right.
