Bilu Theme by Joy Sarkar

Bilu Theme is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. The production by Joy Sarkar is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The voice of Joy Sarkar carries Bilu Theme effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. The story told by Joy Sengupta, Pradip Mulherjee, Debaprasad Haldar, Koneenica Banerjee, Kanchana Moitra, Papiya Sen in Bilu Theme finds its musical expression here — Bilu Theme is where the film's heart beats loudest.

By the end of 2017, Bilu Theme had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. Some music is background. Bilu Theme demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

Running to 2:45, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The track stands as evidence that Joy Sarkar and Joy Sarkar, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
