AB isko ekla mat suno

Ekla Cholo Re was penned by the country’s first Nobel laureate (Rabindranath Tagore)*. It was reworked for Kahaani by Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani and was five minutes and thirteen seconds long. It wouldn’t be incorrect to say that the best was saved for (Ek)last.

It proved a good decision to rope Amitabh Bachchan in to render the track, which combined Bengali, Hindi and English lyrics. No one could have done it better justice than the superstar.

Clinton – who, incidentally, C(erej)omposed the film’s background score – sang the English portions.

*It was originally composed by Tagore.
