Harmeet Manmeet and Anjjan Bhattacharya, debuting in Bengali film music scene with Koli, don't feel it is all that important to be well versed with present Bengali playbacks.
The trio, more well-known as Meet Bros Anjjan, however averred the tracks of Koli will not be remix of Babydoll.
"We all know about the lyrically rich 80s and 90s of Bengali songs. The Koli songs will have references to that tradition of Bengal but it will again have trademark stamp of the Meet Brothers Anjjan," the three 'sibling' musicians, the current rage in party circuits, said.
"I hyave grown up listening to the Manna Dey, Hemanta, Sandhya, Banasree numbers as well as Kishore Kumar. The golden era of Bengali songs. So any references from Bengal in our songs will have that imprint only," Anjjan said.
"In fact, if we get to hear current Bengali chartbusters that will strip the originality quotient from our songs. But again we are receptive," the trio, having first met after a reality show in a national tv channel, said.
The trio, who thinks it is more important to grap the 'feel' of the movie, says getting to do more Bengali films hinged on the comfort factor with the director.
"Koli's director Partho Chakroborty is our friend, So we sqeezed out time when he narrated the sequences and explained the situations, having typical feel of Bengali contemporariness. Later on besides composing the playback we recreated the entite background score of the film," Anjjan said.
"This will introduce a new Meet Bros to the audience, Bengali as well as pan Indian as music has no barrier. WE believe the right thing comes at the right time," Harmeet said.
The trio, who would term the playback in Kya Super Cool Hain Hum' as the turning point of their career which blazed trail of OMG, Ragini MMS and Bhhotnath Returns.
Featuring 'Ichhe' sensation Ruplekha Mitra aka Debjani, Koli, A Vignesh Films production, will be released on November seven.
