Just as the Internet was finally recovering from the catchy rhythm of Jahangir’s Hawa Hawa, the 1980s Pakistani pop tune that was used to introduce Sanjay Dutt’s character SP Aslam, comes another musical miracle that has left fans going crazy.
Eagle-eyed fans have picked out a telling similarity between the entry song’s tune and a cult classic from Bengal, O Tunir Ma Tomar Tuni Kotha Sune Na. Music buffs have been quick to point out that the melodic patterns are almost identical to the super hit song from Bengal.
The man behind the melody
The original Bengali version was conceptualized by Promit Kumar himself, who sang, composed, and wrote the lyrics for this version. Since the release of this version in 2009, this particular song has enjoyed loyal support from fans. Realising this support base, Kumar has come out with yet another new piece composed in 2024 and another new version in 2025 called Tunir Maa. The particular song is a comic remedy written from the perspective of a lover who urges his prospective mother-in-law to convince his sweetheart ‘Tuni’ to long for him in return.
“Only Bongs would know”
Social media platforms have been filled with funny comments from the fans, who were able to recognise the reference when they saw the movie in theatres. “Thank God someone said it!” posted one comment, and another one admitted, “Literally I thought ‘Tunir Maa’ at the theater.” A fan cleverly pointed out, “Only bongs would know,” which exposed the long-term popularity of the song in the Bengali community.
The powerhouse presence of Sanjay Dutt
