Unkind Memories by Bickram Ghosh

Some songs are made for a single moment. Unkind Memories is made for all of them. The music, composed by Bickram Ghosh, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

Bickram Ghosh brings a warmth to Unkind Memories that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Unkind Memories a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

When it came out in 2021, Unkind Memories felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. 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.

Running to 0:55, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The track stands as evidence that Bickram Ghosh and Bickram Ghosh, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
