Baba Dayal by Suddho Roy, Pankaj Natta

When Suddho Roy, Pankaj Natta recorded Baba Dayal, something special happened in the studio — and listeners have felt it ever since. Credit goes to Jeet Gannguli for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

The voice of Suddho Roy, Pankaj Natta carries Baba Dayal effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. The story told by Jeet, Kaushani Mukherjee in Baba Dayal finds its musical expression here — Baba Dayal is where the film's heart beats loudest.

2019 was a strong year for Bengali music, and Baba Dayal was among the reasons why. Baba Dayal is the song for the end of a long day when you want music that understands something without being asked to explain it.

The 3:59 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
