Ajana Asuna by Humane Sagar, Aseema Panda

Some songs are made for a single moment. Ajana Asuna is made for all of them. Somesh Satpathy has a history of strong work, and the music on Ajana Asuna is among the most memorable of it.

The voice of Humane Sagar, Aseema Panda carries Ajana Asuna effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2021 was a strong year for Odia music, and Ajana Asuna was among the reasons why. There is no right time to listen to Ajana Asuna. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

In 4:39 minutes, Ajana Asuna builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
