Banchao by Anupam Roy

Not every song from Banchao lingers, but Banchao is the one that stays. The production by Anupam Roy is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The performance by Anupam Roy is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. Gaurav Chakraborty, Soham, Srabanti Chatterjee, Rittika Sen, Bonny are at the heart of Banchao, and Banchao captures their dynamic at its most compelling.

In 2019, Bengali produced many songs, but Banchao was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. Listeners have described the experience of Banchao differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

In 3:17 minutes, Banchao builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. Songs like Banchao are the reason people fall in love with Bengali music and never quite fall out of it.
