Talk
about taking ‘leap’ of faith in love with some style. ALTBalaji and ZEE5 have done
that quite literally by launching their most-awaited period drama ‘It Happened
in Calcutta’ on February 29. And if you
thought the fun and excitement in the build-up to the series was all over, then
think again. Just a day after the launch of the web-series, the OTT platform
has made for a musical March by dropping another melodious track – Dua Ban Ja,
sung by Akhil Sachdeva and Harshdeep Kaur. The song is picturized on the lead
pair Karan Kundrra and Naghma Rizwan who play the role of Ronobir and Kusum
respectively. Beautifully depicting the pain which comes with the feeling of
love, this track takes viewers on the journey of the couple. Perfectly emoting
the highs and lows, one can see them being madly in love at one point to now
being complete strangers. With deep and meaningful lyrics and its soothing
tunes Akhil Sachdeva, Dua Ban Ja shall make your heart skip a beat. It is not
just a song but a feeling in itself.
Akhil
Sachdeva has once again weaved magic with his voice and soulful music which is
surely going to cast a spell on every heart. His previous number ‘Sukoon’, from
the same show, beautifully captured the essence of love and was a huge hit
amongst listeners. The other melodies from the series which include ‘Ekla Chalo
Re’, and ‘Subah ki Garmi’, have been created keeping the theme of the show in
mind. These beautiful tracks perfectly capture how the lead couple yearn for
each other and express their feelings.
The
9 episodes of this romance drama, spanning across the 60s and 70s,
beautifully showcases the retro era in the costumes, set-up and the locations
against the backdrop of Calcutta. Apart from the love saga, the series will
also touch upon the pertinent events of the time – the Cholera epidemic and the
Indo-Pakistan war. Directed by Ken Ghosh and Sahir Raza, It Happened in
Calcutta also features a talented set of actors like Harman Singha, Pamela
Bhutoria, Sunanda Wong, Simran Kaur Mundi amongst others!
