Phool phutechhe is a gentle love song from the film Bohurupi: The Golden Daku.

It is about Bikram and Jhimli, a married couple who are building a family together.

The song shows simple things like sharing food, lighting a lamp and stitching a quilt.

Jhimli stays at home while Bikram is in prison.

Bikram imagines that Jhimli is beside him, even though she is really far away.

The song moves between happy memories, dreams and the difficult present.

Its music uses a simple, village-like sound with harmonium and flute.

The actors filmed scenes by the Ichamati River and at Bishnupur’s Rashmancha.

The song was released today, according to the article.
