"Ekta Chilo Sonar Konya" is a song from the 1999 Bangladeshi film Srabon Megher Din. The lyricist of this folk music[1] was Humayun Ahmed. Subir Nandi sang this song to the tune with music arrangement of Maksud Jamil Mintu.[2] The song is considered to be the most popular song used in the film.[3] The song was released under label of Sangeeta Music along with other songs from the audio album.[4] Mahfuz Ahmed lip-synced in the scene of this song in the film.[5][6] Maksud Jamil Mintu and Subir Nandi won the National Film Award for music arrangement and vocals.[7]
Humayun Ahmed made his debut as the lyricist of the film[8] through Srabon Megher Din, but did not compose the song "Ekta Chilo Sonar Konya" for use in the film.[9] The song was included in the film due to its consistency with the story.[10] Humayun Ahmed had earlier nominated Subir Nandi to sing the song. After writing the song, Maqsood Jamil was provided with the song to compose, but according to Maksud Jamil, he forgot to compose the song.[9]
