Notes & Background

The record labels credit Anita/Anitha Chowdhury for several tracks, but it is widely believed that this is actually Antara Chowdhury, daughter of Salil Chowdhury.

“Jo Jo Lali” appears in multiple renditions, making the film a goldmine for fans of Salil’s lullaby-style compositions.

A wonderful opportunity for admirers of Salil Chowdhury to study the melodic variations across all three vocal interpretations.
