Ray sprang a great surprise by not opting for famous Tagore singers like Hemanta Mukherjee or Debabrata Biswas, but choosing Kishore Kumar, more known for singing in Hindi films, to sing "Ami Chini Go Chini Tomaare" in "Charulata". In "Kanchanjanga" (1962), Amiya Tagore's rendition of "Ei Parabaashe Robe Ke" in the background was so appropriate with the settings. In 1961, in his "Teen Kanya" based on three short stories of Tagore, the tappa-style song "Baaje Koruno Shurey" was used in "Monihara". Satyajit Ray, arguably the most celebrated Bengali film director, not only adapted several of Tagore's literary creations for his films, but also used several of the bard's songs in these films and also in films which were not based on Tagore's works. Gupta wrote, "After listening to Mullick's tune for 'Diner Seshe Ghumer Deshe', Tagore hugged him and said that if he left any of his songs unfinished or without composition, Dadu would have to set them to tune." Mullick's grandson Rajib Gupta wrote that while Barua was narrating the story of "Mukti", he was repeatedly drawing references to a few lines from "Diner Sheshe Ghumer Deshe".īarua asked Pankaj Mullick to seek permission from Tagore to use it in the film. There goes a story about how Mullick obtained Tagore's permission to use this song in the film.
