Throwback to melodies yet contemporary in Hawa Bodol

In keeping with the title of the movie 'Hawa Bodol', actor-director Parambrata Chatterjee said the songs would mark a new phase in Bengali film music.
"None of the Hawa Bodol' tracks bears any similarity with the music you generally associate with the contemporary genre of Bengali films," Parambrata told PTI at the music launch of the film last evening.
"Instead of using any electronic sound, which is common in today's music, as base we have sought to recreate a live, natural feel of the 80s but in contemporary mould in all the tracks, which includes a Rabindra Sangeet," the Hemlock Society actor said.

"So in that way you might call the 'Hawa Bodol' music shades different from recent playback tracks, less whacky, less wild and more melodic, the type you would come across in earlier days," Parambrata said giving credit to one of the most successful music directors of present days Indradip Dasgupta. "It is something I had not attempted in my previous flick Jio Kaka," he said about the first directorial venture which had more the mix of regular rock, band gharana.
"Though I keep doing different types of film music (I) never attempted something like Hawa Bodol, produced by RTC Entertainment, where we based on sync sound recording, which reflects the live recording mood and as he said it was free from any electronic experience. It was uncluttered in that sense," Indradip, who is also directing the music of family entertainer 'Proloy', said.

"In keeping with the 'niche' content, many of the presentday Bengali movies are infused with different kind of music, a mix of classical, rock and meloy with one or two Rabindra Sangeet thrown in," he said.
"Hawa Bodol happens to be a tale of male bonding, it is a story of friends catching up after missing each other for a long phase and being close buddies I knew what Param was asking for whenever he described a scene," actor Rudranil Ghosh, one of the important actors of the movie, said.
'Hawa Bodol' centres round the life of two long-lost school friends starring Parambrata Chattopadhyay, Rudranil Ghosh, with Raima Sen and Neha Panda as two female leads.
