Bhubaneswar, July 20: The music of upcoming film Jagu Autowala was released in the city on Tuesday. The crew of the film celebrated the occasion with a function at a city hotel.

A venture of actor and producer Pupinder, Jagu Autowala is already generating considerable interest for its posters that suggest a dash of comedy and romance.

The music album of the film does the same. One of the most popular music directors today, Abhijit Majumdar, has churned out a set of songs that not only illustrate the lifestyle of Cuttack, but also reflect the fun-loving attitude of the autorickshaw driver, which Pupinder plays in the film.

There are five tracks in the film and Abhijit has given a unique touch to each of them.

“My favourite song from the film is Cuttackara Dusshera sung by Asima Panda that is about the amazing festive fervour of Cuttack during the festival. The music for the song includes a lot of percussion, street performances by artistes and the din caused by the revellers. All this will let the listener visualise the scene,” said Abhijit.

The other tracks such as E Rangabati, Bhija bhija kuhudi and Bhala kalu bhala kalu depict a emotions ranging from fun and romantic to sentimental.

The songs have been penned by Niral Nayak and Nizam while Abhijit, Asima, Satyajit, Sangram and Antara have lent their voices.

Pupinder, whose first venture as producer was Khata Mitha, is excited about Jagu Autowala that will be released under his banner Kalosthenic Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.

The film is directed by James Anthony while Prakash Baral has written the story.

The film revolves around Jagu, an autorickshaw driver played by Pupinder, and a girl, who wishes to commit suicide, played by debutant Pamela Mondal. Jagu falls in love with the girl and tries to change her life.

Veteran actors Bijay Mohanty, Tandra Ray as well as popular names such as Manoj Mishra, Suman, Gudu, Chandan, Micky, Prince and child actor Aryan will be seen in the film that is set to release next month.
