Composed by Samidh Mukerjee, the title track of ‘Macho Mustafa’ is being touted as the costliest song ever shot in Bengali films; also, watch out for a Hindi number
Sreemita Bhattacharya
Consider a thumri-based item number, a techno salsa number and a Bengali sufi song — all in a single film. Adding to the combo is the costliest song ever shot in Bengali films with a budget of 75 lakh and a full Hindi track — all of this, in the music album of “Macho Mustafa”, which releases today.
Says composer Samidh Mukerjee, “The film was named after I composed the title song which happens to be the costliest song shot in Bengali films. Hiran looks a million bucks in it. The track combines elements of rock, trance and techno. The choreography and direction are very international. I’m sure this track will hit a chord with people in the suburbs as well as cosmopolitan listeners. I’m thankful to my producer PP Tiwari and director Reshmi Mitra for giving it such a larger-than-life presentation.”
Samidh also makes a small confession. “I would always give people the cliched answer ‘All songs are my babies so I can’t choose between them’ when they asked me my favourite track from a movie. But now I have a song which I can say is closest to my heart. It’s “Rukega badal” from this film — a Hindi track. I’ve sung it myself, although my Hindi diction isn’t that good. But I guess the mistakes in the song are its USP. Initially, my director and producer were apprehensive about having a full Hindi song in a Bengali film, je onek lekha lekhi hobe eta niye... but they loved it and retained the song. I’m grateful to Remac Filmz for allowing me an ensemble cast of singers. The film has songs from various genres, like a Bengali sufi track sung by Krishna and a techno salsa number by Sunidhi.”
