Recently the controversial track Kalankini Radha female version was featured in Bulbbul movie. It is a fictional Indian Hindi-language drama film that Anvita Dutt has written & directed. The movie features Tripti Dimri as Bulbul, Avinash Tiwary as Satya, Paoli Dam as Binodini, Rahul Bose as Indranil/Mahendra, and Parambrata Chattopadhyay as Sudip. Anushka Sharma and Karnesh Sharma are the producers of the Bulbul Hindi movie distributed by Netflix.
Kalankini Radha is an old Baul song, and its lyrics refer to the story of Radha and Krishna. Kalankini means an ill-reputed person, particularly one who is known for illegitimate romance.
“Kolonkini Radha” is a folk melody of East Indian heritage. The song sheds light in the ‘Raas Leela’ chapters on the love-play of Radha and Lord Krishna, where Radha is vulnerable to the naughty pranks of Krishna, who sits on a tree to catch sight of her bathing in the pond below. Her friends (Sakhees) alert her to be cautious of ‘Kanu’ or Lord Krishna before she is given the degrading title of ‘Kolonkini Radha.’ The word Kolonkini has many meanings, but in this situation it would mean a shameless woman (or indecent, outrageous), demonstrating a woman’s control over her desires and the pulls of the moods of society.
