Janmakotha by Pratik Srivastava, Arpita Chatterjee

Pratik Srivastava, Arpita Chatterjee has delivered memorable performances before, but Janmakotha sits comfortably among the very best. Behind the melody is the work of Soumya Rit, whose composition choices give Janmakotha its distinctive texture.

Pratik Srivastava, Arpita Chatterjee brings a warmth to Janmakotha that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. On screen, a talented ensemble cast bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2020 marked the release of Janmakotha, and Janmakotha was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. There is no right time to listen to Janmakotha. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

At 3:09, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. The track stands as evidence that Pratik Srivastava, Arpita Chatterjee and Soumya Rit, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
