Hemlock Society turns 9, here’s a look at some of its best songs

Released in 2012, Hemlock Society narrates the tale of a unique institution, where Ananda Kar (Parambrata Chatterjee) teaches aspirants how to commit suicide. When Meghna (Koel Mallick) enrolls as a student, their lives get intertwined, changing their destinies forever.

With a stellar cast in place, Hemlock Society is a satirical story, that brings out the best of all elements in a complete package - from humour to romance, from psychological dilemma to the very existence of life, from sarcastic references to a solid script, from specially-curated set design to commendable cinematography, and from critical to commercial success.

However, the movie became an audience favorite due to its enchanting tunes. Having composer Anupam Roy at the helm of music production, the film delivers a diverse platter of tunes, where no song is similar to another, each of them superseding our expectations. As a result, even nine years after its release, the film and its songs hold a special place in our hearts, making us groove to their beats.

A quirky love song, it is a perfect recommendation for appeasing your partners if they ever get angry at you, or for proposing to your special one. Singer Anupam Roy breathes life into his creations, and this song is a no exception.

Jawl Phoring

Known for his eccentrics, singer Silajit Majumdar transfers his jovial nature into this fun party song, best suited for singing along with your friends on karaoke with a guitar in hand, and dancing till the sun rises.

Amar Mawte

A song made just for you, when you want to spend some me-time, alone with your thoughts and your diary or a cup of coffee. Singer Lopamudra Mitra conveys the very essence of the song with her expressive and calming voice.

Ei to Ami Chai

Open sky, the wind gently caressing your face and you feel free – this track is the go-to-jam, anytime you feel distressed. Duo Shreya Ghoshal and Anupam Roy create magic in this all-time favorite as it touches our soul, becoming our Zen song. 

Phiriye Dewar Gaan

A song designed for heartbreaks, it is the tune that will make the aching heart seem less alone, as you dive into the memories of your soulmate, and what better than the voice of Rupam Islam to accompany you on this journey.
