Music launch of Babul Supriyo starrer OGO BODHU SUNDARI by sourav

Music of Babul’s film Ogo Bodhu Sundori’s released by Sourav Ganguly. Kolkata, 12th May 2010: “Not a patch on the old film” is likely to be the common response to most remakes, perhaps without too much thought going into the opinion. But what sets the new adaptation of the 1980 classic “Ogo Bodhu Sundori” apart is its tenacious adherence to the original theme.

The plot digresses a bit to accommodate a few twists and turns adding an extra zing to the storyline. The Original Soundtrack of the evergreen classic in its new avatar was launched today in the presence of Mr. Sourav Ganguly, former Indian cricket captain.

Directed by Sunando Mitra and produced jointly by D Silva Production, Rose Valley Films and Brand Value Communications, the album was launched under the banner of INRECO. The film introduces Babul Supriyo, the eminent singer, in his first full-fledged lead alongwith Sreelekha Mitra, Monami Ghosh, Arnab Banerjee, Sabitri Chatterjee, Haradhan Bandopadhyay, Kharaj Mukherjee and others. The laugh riot that breaks loose when real meets reel life is what makes the film so refreshingly intriguing.

Babul Supriyo and Sourav Ganguly have known each other for years. Speaking on the occassion Babul said, ‘It’s a great honour to have Sourav Ganguly release the music of my film. I will always cherish the moment”

Bappi Lahiri, the original composer of the 1980 super-hit film Ogo Bodhu Sundori starring the Legendary Uttam Kumar, has re-created those all time super-hit songs once again for this film in the voices of Babul Supriyo, Alka Yagnik, Shreya Ghoshal and Anwesha. The lyrics, originally written by Bibhuti Mukherjee, remain the same.

The songs that have been included in this laugh riot are “Ei to Jibon”, “Tui Joto Phool” and “Narichoritro Bejay Jotil”. Babul Supriyo effortlessly dabbles with Kishore Kumar classics “Ei To Jibon” and “Naricharitro” bringing out the humour content. His finely nuanced voice pays a faithful tribute to the inimitable maestro—Kishore Kumar. Alka Yagnik, in her chirpy self, animates the peppy Asha Bhosle hit “Tui Joto Phool”. “Akashbhora Surjo Tara” dominates the narrative at two crucial junctures of the film. The full-throated voice of Babul Supriyo shines through the Tagorean number. The female version encapsulates the unmatched precocity of Anwesha’s voice in all its tenderness. Babul and Shreya Ghoshal team up for the eponymously titled song “Ogo Bodhu Sundori” and their duet promises to be a huge hit.
