Golemale Golemale by Anushree Gupta, Debjit Roy

Golemale Golemale works because it does not try to do too much — it finds one feeling and holds it perfectly. The music, composed by Debjit Roy, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

Anushree Gupta, Debjit Roy brings a warmth to Golemale Golemale that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. Rituparna Sengupta, Rajesh Sharma, Kharaj Mukherjee, Badsha Moitra gave the film its soul, and Golemale Golemale is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

2015 was a strong year for Bengali music, and Golemale Golemale was among the reasons why. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

Running to 3:50, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Golemale Golemale is a reminder that the best music does not need to announce itself. It only needs to be heard.
