Winning Indian Idol Season 15 was only the beginning for Manashi Ghosh. The singer has now entered the Bengali film industry with her first-ever playback song, lending her voice to the energetic track ‘Majh Rate Bichhanate’ from director Durjoy Mondal’s upcoming film Dokhol. The milestone marks a significant chapter in her musical journey, taking her from reality television champion to playback singer in Bengali cinema. With the film already attracting attention for its bold narrative, Manashi’s association has added another layer of excitement ahead of its release.

Manashi Ghosh’s Bengali playback debut begins with Dokhol

Manashi Ghosh’s Bengali playback debut comes through ‘Majh Rate Bichhanate,’ a lively dance number that promises to offer a contrasting mood to the socially driven narrative of Dokhol. The song has been written by director Durjoy Mondal, while composer Neelakash Roy has handled the music and arrangement.

Sharing her excitement, Manashi said the track would always remain close to her heart because it marks her first playback opportunity in Bengali films. She described the number as energetic and entertaining, expressing confidence that listeners would connect with its vibrant sound. Manashi Ghosh’s Bengali playback debut also reflects her desire to explore diverse musical platforms after her television success.

Durjoy Mondal believes the song strengthens the story

Director Durjoy Mondal believes Manashi Ghosh’s Bengali playback debut is much more than a promotional attraction. According to him, the song plays an important role within the screenplay instead of existing as a standalone dance sequence.

Mondal has written the story, screenplay, dialogues, and lyrics of Dokhol himself. The makers have intentionally kept the cast under wraps, saying the story deserves to take centre stage before audiences discover the faces behind it. They have also hinted at major casting surprises that will be revealed closer to release.

The film’s music, led by Neelakash Roy, is expected to complement the emotionally charged narrative while giving audiences memorable songs beyond the storyline.
