Ushma Dao: Atanu Ghosh presents a new song about love and heartbreak

The setting has been chosen as the night when the lovers bid goodbye. The woman goes off to her new destination, while the man remains seated in the bench. He thinks of the times that could have been, had she not decided to leave. The makers have shared the video with the caption, “Ushma Dao (An intense embrace) Dive into this soulful Bengali melody that beautifully captures the complexities of love, longing, and uncertainty. Is this love?” The melody is one of heart ache and the lyrics, along with the soft yet intense vocals support the narrative.

The musical short is presented by eminent filmmaker Atanu Ghosh. He is known for his National Award-winning work Mayurakshi, as well as acclaimed films like Sesh Pata, Binisutoy and many more. The short has been written and directed by Deepyaman Dey, while the lyrics have been penned by Nilabjo Niyogi. He has also composed and sang it.
