During 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, Indian commandos were divided into
small groups that carried their own equipment to their targets and reached their
destination in Bangladesh by using the local Mukti Bahini network. The group
leaders carried a transistor radio wherein a particular Rabindra Sangeet was
used to be played on Akashvani Kolkata which was a secret message for
commencing the ‘Operation Jackpot’. They exactly did that after the song in
Pankaj Mullick’s voice was aired.
Later music director Bappi Lahiri used the tune for a beautiful composition in the
1985 released movie _X____.
Id the Rabindrasangeet & the movie.
