‘Bolo Dugga Elo’, ‘Nakku Nakur Na Jao Thakur’ and more songs to add to your Pujo playlist

The first strains of Puja songs playing over loudspeakers are often a sign that Durga Puja is here. From fan favourites like Dhaker Taale to new releases like Dugga Ma Asche, here are songs to add to the playlist for your Pujo festivities.

Dhaak Baaja

Sung by Shreya Ghoshal and composed by Jeet Gannguli, Dhaak Baaja Kashor Baaja captures the joy of welcoming Maa Durga home. Even a decade after its release, the song feels as fresh as ever, and for many, Pujo feels incomplete without its familiar beats of dhaak and kansor.

Ailo Uma Barite

Sung by Antara Nandy, Ailo Uma Barite is another song about welcoming Maa Durga home. Monami Ghosh plays Uma in the video, making it a fitting listen as the city gets ready for Pujo.

Dugga Elo

Monali Thakur’s Dugga Elo is a song to play as the city gets ready to welcome Maa Durga. Add it to your Pujo playlist for those moments when the excitement of the festivities starts to set in.

Dhak Baaja Komor Nacha

Featuring Rukmini Maitra and Abir Chatterjee, Dhak Baaja Komor Nacha is from the 2020 Bengali film Switzerland. Sung by Jeet, Akriti Kakar and Dev Negi, the song is yet another Pujo favourite that gets everyone tapping their feet to its catchy beats.

Bolo Dugga Elo

Whether you’re getting ready for pandal-hopping or waiting to welcome Maa Durga, Sunidhi Chauhan’s Bolo Dugga Elo brings the festive energy of Pujo to life. The song’s lively beats make it a great pick to get into the spirit of the celebrations.

Gouri Elo

Dohar’s Gouri Elo celebrates the arrival of Maa Durga, lovingly known as Gouri or Uma. Rooted in the folk music traditions of Bengal, the song goes perfectly with the feeling of welcoming Maa Durga home.

Nakku Nakur Na Jao Thakur

If you’re looking to add a lively Bengali track to your Pujo playlist, Nakku Nakur Na Jao Thakur from Raktabeej is worth a listen. Sung by Antara and Ankita Nandy, the song is written and composed by Anindya Chatterjee and inspired by ‘Naya Daman’.

Dhaker Taale

Dhaaker Taale, sung by Abhijeet Bhattacharya, for the movie Poran Jai Jolia Re is the track that begins and ends Puja. The loud ‘Bolo Dugga Maiki’ adds to the festive spirit.
