I am sure all deserves them except Neel Dutta.most of the songs in the Bengali film 'Ranjana aami aar ashbo na' was by his father Anjan Dutta, Kobir Suman and one was by Rabindranath Tagore. Was he awarded for promoting for promoting others?

Hello ABC,

Hi Arnab! Well, they were announced on March 7th and that is why the Hindi Cinema Blog is here, to give you the scoop if unfortunately you missed out on something good. :-)

Hi Nili :-). I agree and am very happy and eager to watch the awarded films asap. Hope you have daught some of them already.

ABC, did Neel Dutta redirect Anjan Dutta's songs for the film? I am not well versed on Bengali music and cinema but the songs sound remastered or revisited to me, not like the originals. It would be great if you could enlighten me.
