Notes & Background

“Hei Samaalo Dhaan Ho, Kasteyta Dao Shaan Ho” (MS10) is one of IPTA’s most celebrated mass songs. Deeply rooted in the farmers’ movement, the song embodies unity, labour, and resistance.

In Akaler Sandhaney, the song appears as a powerful collective performance — sung by the actors themselves, reflecting the ethos of IPTA and Salil’s lifelong commitment to socially conscious music.

No other songs are known from this film, making this IPTA anthem the central musical highlight.
