Talli by Satrujit Dasgupta

Talli works because it does not try to do too much — it finds one feeling and holds it perfectly. What makes Talli musically distinctive is the composition by Savvy, which balances simplicity with depth.

The voice of Satrujit Dasgupta carries Talli effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. The connection between Soham Chakraborty, Rittika Sen and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2021 was a strong year for Bengali music, and Talli 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 3:16, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. For anyone yet to hear Talli, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
