Renowned West Bengal singer Nachiketa Chakraborty has once again lent his voice to a festive Eid song, continuing a tradition that has delighted audiences in Bangladesh over the past few years. This year, the celebrated 1990s artist has performed in a new composition titled “Bhalo Theko”, which promises to add a distinctive flavour to the Eid celebrations.
The song features a melody composed by Belal Khan, with lyrics penned by Kabir Bakul and musical arrangement by Shovon Roy. Speaking about the project, Nachiketa expressed his excitement, noting that while he has recorded many songs tuned to the sensibilities of Bangladeshi audiences, this particular composition offered him a fresh experience. “A song leaves an impression not only through its words but also through its melody. I believe both the lyrics and the tune of this piece will resonate with listeners and remain memorable,” he stated.
Belal Khan, the composer, remarked on the challenge of creating a tune for an artist of Nachiketa’s calibre. “Nachiketa enjoys equal popularity across both Bengals, and even the Gen-Z audience finds themselves reflected in his music. Composing for him was a unique challenge, but immensely rewarding,” Khan said.
The song’s music video has been directed by Chandon Roy Chowdhury, who coordinated closely with the song’s lyrics to deliver a visually compelling narrative. The video features performances by Tapas Roy Chowdhury and Prathama Das, and is set to premiere on the Soundtek YouTube channel, offering audiences a complete sensory experience of the new Eid anthem.
Industry insiders predict that the combination of Nachiketa’s iconic voice, Belal Khan’s composition, and Chowdhury’s direction will make “Bhalo Theko” a standout song of this year’s Eid season.
