Balam and Jalali Shafayat join forces for ‘Neelchokro’s’ ‘Ei Shohorer Ondhokare’

In a musical crossover, popular rapper Jalali Shafayat and renowned singer-composer Balam have teamed up for a song for the upcoming Arifin Shuvoo-starrer "Neelchokro", releasing this Eid-ul-Azha. The duo collaborated on "Ei Ondhokarer Shohore", which not only features Shafayat's vocals but also marks his acting debut in cinema.

The music video, recently released online, showcases a vibrant teenage DJ party where Jalali Shafayat is seen rapping and dancing, with Balam making an appearance as well. The lyrics were penned by Shafayat himself, while the music arrangement was done by Balam.

The film director Mithu Khan shared, "'Neelchokro' marks the first instance of rapper Jalali Shafayat lending his voice and acting in a film. The song is closely tied to the storyline, and Shafayat wrote the lyrics based on the film's composition."

Speaking about the experience, Jalali Shafayat told local media, "I play a rapper in the film, so the character naturally aligns with my real-life persona. Through the song, I've tried to portray the realities confronting today's youth. I hope audiences connect with the message."

"Neelchokro", a techno-thriller, stars Mondera Chakroborty alongside Arifin Shuvoo and delves into how modern technology lures the youth into addictive traps. The screenplay, written by Nazim Ud Daula, Anjan Sarkar, and Mithu Khan, explores manipulation and exploitation through digital platforms.

The ensemble cast includes Fazlur Rahman Babu, Priyontee Urbee, Shahed Ali, Monir Ahmed Shakil, Tiger Robi, Shirin Alam, Masum Rezwan, and Adity among others.
