Superhero by Gorki Mukherjee

Some songs are made for a single moment. Superhero is made for all of them. Anindya Sundar Chakraborty's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

The vocal on Superhero is among the better performances Gorki Mukherjee has committed to record. For fans of a talented ensemble cast, Superhero is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

2016 marked the release of Superhero, and Superhero was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

In 3:05 minutes, Superhero builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Bengali in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
