Sesh Chithi by Rupankar Bagchi

Rupankar Bagchi has delivered memorable performances before, but Sesh Chithi sits comfortably among the very best. The music, composed by D. Sudhir, Rajiv Dutta, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

Rupankar Bagchi's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

When it came out in 2017, Sesh Chithi felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. There is a quality to Sesh Chithi that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

Running to 4:12, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Songs like Sesh Chithi are the reason people fall in love with Bengali music and never quite fall out of it.
