Popularity

The song was broadcast in the voice of Jabbar from the Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra to inspire the Bangladeshi freedom fighters during the Liberation War of Bangladesh. The song ranked 12th in the list of the twenty greatest Bengali songs of all time in a 2006 survey conducted by BBC Bangla.
