Darshana stars in Aritra Sengupta’s love song ‘Alor Megh’

There's no denying the power of a classic Valentine's Day song to set the mood and there is only one thing that can bring a bright red into the cool blues of winter – romance. Since Saraswati Puja is round the corner and for Bengalis the auspicious day is no short of a Valentine’s Day celebration, a new Bengali single has just been released to rekindle our romance.

While Aritra Sengupta’s refreshing voice makes this song, titled ‘Alor Megh’, a treat to musical ears, Tamalika Golder’s composition and Saswata Roy’s lyrics are also praiseworthy. The keys, guitar, programming, mixing and mastering are by Debdeep Banik, in sarod it is Subhrajyoti Sen and it esraj Samarpita Basu have done a wonderful job.

The Proshanta Singha-directed music video featuring Darshana Banik, Rahul Basak and Siddhiksha Chakraborty aptly captures the essence and simplicity of the song.

The song is about love and longing. Featuring actress Darshana Banik, the melodious song speaks about how raindrops bring back memories and make us revisit the time long left behind in a completely novel way. The beautiful words and tunes intertwine in a completely mesmerising way to make the song seep deep into our hearts thus making it unforgettable.
