News Stardom ; Mumbai, 27th.March 2025. Musical maestro Jeet Gannguli is riding high on the wave of love and appreciation for his latest masterpiece—the title track of Netflix’s riveting new series, Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, helmed by visionary filmmaker Neeraj Pandey.
Following their successful collaboration on Rustom, Jeet reunites with Neeraj for a second innings, and this time, he’s infused the very soul of Bengal into his composition. The title track is a powerful sonic experience that captures the raw energy, tradition, and depth of Bengal’s rich musical heritage.
*In his own words, Jeet shares*, _“The first layer of the track is woven with traditional Bengali elements. I’ve incorporated the echoes of ‘ullu’—a sacred, celebratory sound heard at Bengali weddings, poojas, and festivals. Then comes the melody of the ‘ek tara,’ a one-stringed wonder that has long been the voice of the mystical Baul tradition. The rhythmic depth is brought in with the ‘khomok’ and ‘kanjira’—percussion instruments that breathe life into Bengal’s folk spirit. It was my mission to encapsulate the very soul of Bengal, and I am beyond thrilled that people are connecting with it”_
The result? A hauntingly beautiful yet electrifying title track that sets the tone for Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, that perfectly complements the series’ gripping narrative.
The audience, critics, and music connoisseurs alike are hailing it as a masterstroke _”I am immensely grateful for all the love and blessings. Music has the power to tell a story, and I’m honored to be a part of this journey with Neeraj Pandey once again. Khakee: The Bengal Chapter is special, and I hope this song stays with people for a long time”_
