"Template:Langr"[lower-alpha 2][lower-alpha 3][lower-alpha 4] is a Bengali song[6] by Indian playback singer Manna Dey.[7] The song's lyrics were written by Gauriprasanna Mazumdar[8] and its music was composed by Suparna Kanti Ghosh. After releasing, it was added as part of the album "Hits of Manna Dey, Volume 2".[9] "Coffee House" is considered as one of the most popular and timeless songs of the Bengali language.[10][11][12][13][14]

"Coffee House" is regarded as a cult classic song of the Bengali language and in the culture of West Bengal. It reflects the "adda" tradition, gaining popularity in the 1960s and 1970s.[15] It remarks on the activities and visions of seven friends in the coffee house. The song is widely celebrated in the region of Bengal including Bangladesh symbolizing culture and heritage, receiving literary appreciation.[16] Manna Dey, the singer, deemed it to be an all-time favorite in the Bengali community in his book.[17]

The song describes the lives of seven friends who used to spend time in the College Street Coffee House in Kolkata, all being fictional characters. Mazumdar wrote most of the lyrics within two or three days and completed it nine days later inside a train at Howrah station. Suparna Kanti Ghosh composed the song onboard a train within a day and took the complete written and composed song to Manna Dey, accompanied by Mazumdar and his arranger, two days later. Dey recorded the song in a studio in Mumbai in 1983. The song was endorsed as the anthem of the College Street Cafe House, which hung Dey's picture upon his death. It appeared two times in films, Coffee House released in 2025, and the upcoming Template:Langr.

Composition[edit | edit source]

Manna Dey in 2009

Before composing "Template:Langr" for Manna Dey, Suparna Kanti Ghosh, the son of Nachiketa Ghosh,[18] had written "Template:Langr" in 1978, which Dey sung.[19] Gauriprasanna Mazumdar was a friend of Nachiketa Ghosh.[20][21] Before "Coffee House" was considered, Ghosh went to a short trip in Paris, visiting Montmartre, where there were many coffeehouses with people sitting and talking. As the tour guide showed him the areas, Ghosh acquired the idea of a coffeehouse hangout (adda).[21][22]

In 1983, Ghosh was living in New Alipore, Kolkata. He was then studying for his exams and practicing a song with Shakti Thakur and some of his friends. Mazumdar came into his house and asked for a cup of tea, and then called Ghosh.[23] He stayed till midnight in Ghosh's house writing the lyrics of songs.[24] After chatting for some time, Ghosh entrusted Mazumdar with writing a song based on an adda (hangout) theme,[23] with reference to the College Street Coffee House.[25][26] Mazumdar spoke the first two lines of the song in front of Ghosh;[23] these two lines of the song, "Coffee houser sei addata aaj aar nei/ Kothai hariye gelo sonali bikel gulo sei" won the title of the best Bengali song in BBC's listener survey.[24] After going home, Mazumdar began writing the song through the nighttime until the next morning.[20] His wife called Ghosh the next morning to inform him that Mazumdar had been awake the whole night.[27] Mazumdar wrote most of the song lyrics within two or three days, except the last stanza.[25] When Mazumdar showed the song to Ghosh, he said that the song lacked a climax and wanted him to write and add a final stanza.[28]

Nine days later, Mazumdar was inside a Mumbai or Chennai-bound train, stalled in Howrah railway station, and thought of the last stanza, writing the last lines on a white paper inside a cigarette packet.[23] Then he gave it to a man at Howrah station and asked him to send it to the house of Suparna Kanti Ghosh.[20] Mazumdar stated Ghosh's house to be near East Alipore petrol pump, but he could not say the full address.[29] The man delivered it to his house the next day.[25] Ghosh felt the song was complete. After composing, he went to Mumbai four days later and took the paper with him.[25][30][31]

On the same day, Ghosh started composing the music while he was travelling to Mumbai (Bombay) on a sleeper train for a live recording. He turned on his bedside lamp on the upper train berth, and started humming and memorizing the tune, composing the song for the whole day.[32] The next day after he composed the music, Ghosh brought the song to Gauriprasanna Mazumdar in Mumbai. Ghosh talked to his arranger Y. S. Mulkey, who asked him what music arrangement he wanted for his song and agreed to the song. Ghosh suggested the use of the melody of the Irish folk song Auld Lang Syne as the interlude in the song, which Mulkey agreed to. The next day, they went to the recording studio where Dey would sing it. Mulkey handed him a harmonium to practice the song. He was approached by guitarist Tony Vaz asking in English if he could play it on his guitar.[32] Later, Dey asked Ghosh, "How can this be a song? How will you set these words to music?".[30] "Template:Langr" was recorded by Dey in Mumbai.[31][33]

The song was released in 1983 under the label of Saregama, and included in the album Hits of Manna Dey, Vol. 2.[34][23]

Manna Dey later released a second part of the song titled "Swapner Coffee House" in 2003. It was published under a different label company. Dey sung the sequel in the scale of the first song. The original spool of the first song was lost, which Suparna Kanti Ghosh arranged a new spool for the sequel. Shamindra Ray Chowdhury wrote the song lyrics and it was composed by Ghosh.[33][35]

Synopsis[edit | edit source]

The first stanza of the song introduces the main characters; the whereabouts and disappearance of the narrator's close friends: Nikhilesh is in Paris, Moidul is in Dhaka, D'Souza has died, Roma Roy is in a lunatic asylum, and Amol is suffering from cancer. The stanza talking about the past is based on personal experiences and individual memories.[36]

The second stanza introduces the other main character Sujata, said to be happy and prosperous in her marriage to a wealthy person. Depicted in her lifestyle as being covered with diamonds and jewels on her whole body.[37] It also talks about Nikhilesh's occupation as an illustrator of advertisements and D'Souza traits of being observant, quiet and introverted, specifying their careers.[36]

The third stanza describes the activities of the friends and their gathering while at the coffee house. Which portrays the smoking of Charminar cigarettes, altercations between the characters Bishnu Dey, a poet, and Jamini Roy, a painter, and the meetings which happen at specific times.[37] It says the routines and habits of the friends and their daily interactions.[36]

The fourth stanza renders the unpublished poems of Amol, the theater roles in office dramas of Roma Roy, and the manner of Moidul to read aloud to them the newspaper reports he had written everyday.[37] It defines the potential, failure and achievements of the characters and their insignificant memories.[38]

The fifth and last stanza delineates about the coffee house itself and suggests the impermanency of the meetings between them.[38] Remarking the original group of friends to have been gone, and the tables, cups and garden to still be present. The stanza states the coffee house to have remained the same, with people coming and going out of the house.[37] It states the original group to have been replaced by future generations, with the house still being a place of sharing memories and exchanging stories.[36]

Theme and characters[edit | edit source]

"Template:Langr" was written by Gauriprasanna Mazumdar as a song capturing the times of seven friends in the College Street Coffee House[39] (also known as "Indian Coffee House"),[40] termed as "golden late afternoons" spent together by them.[41][42] In Bengali, the hangouts are also known as "adda."[43] He describes the activities of the seven members and their conditions and impressions at the time of the song's release.[44] The narrator introduces the members in the song, giving a brief description about each of his friends.[45][46] The song specifies the chats or addas made in the coffee house to be lost,[lower-alpha 5] the friends to have settled in distant places, the remembrance of their old times and memories.[48][49]

In an interview with Bdnews24.com in 2020, Suparna Kanti Ghosh remarked that all the seven protagonists were fictional, as made up by Mazumdar. He stated that the none of the performers of the song (Ghosh, Mazumdar, Dey) had visited the described coffee house before the song's recording. He said that many people before had falsely claimed to be the characters from the song.[20][23] There are seven major characters described in the song: Nikhilesh Sanyal,[50] Moidul, Sujata, Goanese D'Souza,[50] Roma Roy, Amol and the unnamed narrator,[51] who discuss about several other friends including Bishnu Dey and Jamini Roy.[52][53]

  • Nikhilesh Sanyal: Said to be living in Paris.[20][23] A talented person with many tricks, he was the life of the party. He lost contact with the other six friends after being around for a short time, and is remembered due to his lasting impression.[54] The narrator has no news about him.[55]
  • Moidul: Said to be a reporter in Dhaka.[49] The narrator has no news about him.[55]
  • Sujata: An opportunist who worked to her advantages. She avoided worsening friendships with arguments.[54] Said to be the only character to have a happy life. Married to a lakhpati (a person who has ₹100,000). She is the only happy person and doing well in her life out of all the seven characters, connecting to a rich family through her marriage.[55]
  • Goanese D'Souza: A guitarist,[20][23] who is dead at the time of the narration.[49] He was said to be a guitarist at the Grand Hotel, but is dead and buried.[55] He was a quiet and wise person, and respected within the seven friends. A good listener, he helped the other friends whenever they were anxious or needed support.[54]
  • Roma Roy: A romantic person who fell in love and celebrated monthly anniversaries many times but was unable to make any relationships last for more than a year. She broke up several times and hung out with the friends to feel better.[54] She is specified to be in a mental hospital after breaking up with someone.[55]
  • Amol: Described to have a poet-like appearance,[20][23] struggling with cancer.[49][55] He struggled to become popular and fit it with his other friends, making only a minor presence during the hangouts. He was best friends with D'Souza.[54]
  • Unnamed narrator[23]

A sports journalist named Nur Ahmed Moidul was born in 1936 in North 24 Parganas and later moved to Bangladesh in 1968 following a riot. On his death in 2014 (aged 78), newspapers mentioned him to be the character in the song. He claimed during his lifetime to be the character, and said to have met with Sujata and Roma Roy. He also claimed to have met with Manna Dey during his teenage years. Ghosh stated the claims to be false.[20][23][56]

Sujata, the wife of Awami League politician Waliur Rahman Reza was born in Gaibandha and educated in Calcutta Art College. She married Reza in 1972. Reza became a Member of Parliament in Bangladesh in the 1970s and was an organizer of the Liberation War.[56] Newspapers stated her to be from the song, which was stated as being false by Ghosh.[22]

Cultural impact[edit | edit source]

Sudeb Dey, the nephew of Manna Dey sang a cover of the song. He described about Manna Dey and the song, "In light of my profession, I sing various songs of uncle [Manna Dey] across the country. Today if I don't sing 'Coffee House', then the audience won't let me get up from my seat."[lower-alpha 6][57] Singer Sagarika Bhattacharjee sang a remake of the song with the same lyrics and music.[58] An altered version "Coffee House," named "Coffee house er shei adda ta fire pete chai, fire pete chai" was sung by celebrities on the occassion of the Coffee House's reopening on July 12, 2009.[59]

Reception[edit | edit source]

Md Morshedul Alam Mohabat of The Business Standard said that the song is an "all-time favorite" because people are attracted to songs which are relatable to them. He remarks that most people can relate to the song through the life stories it provides, which may be true for the persons that someone knows. He describes the song as nostalgic, which attracts many people. He states that it may be something which may happen to everyone, and will have to leave the memories behind.[60] BBC Bangla conducted an online ranking [bn] where people could vote for their five favorite Bengali songs, for the entirety of March 2006. On the list, "Template:Langr" scored as the highest-ranking Bengali song from West Bengal and the fourth-highest overall.[lower-alpha 7][61][62]

Sohini Dasgupta, the wife of filmmaker Buddhadeb Dasgupta, issued a statement on social media expressing the song as lacking the real standards of nostalgia and being a "looser" [sic] song.[63] Dasgupta heard the song on radio before and commented the same. Dasgupta stated afterwards that she liked the lyrics, tunes and melodies of the song when she first heard it in the 1980s, but it seemed to her at the time that the song was for those who had failed and lost.[64][65][66] In response to Dasgupta, Sudeb Dey stated that, "[Kaka] Manna Dey is my guru (mentor). I don't know who posted the message on Facebook. [...] Some people do it to get into the light of discussion by saying negative things. [...] At the same time she rejected the creation (song) of an artist."[lower-alpha 6][57] Indian film director Anik Dutta and Bangladesh's TM Ahmed Kaiser commented on Dasgupta's post. They said that "the freedom of speech and commentary is available to everyone." In an inquiry by Anandabazar Online to singer-songwriter Anupam Roy, he stated that he would not make any comments on the Facebook post or on the popularity of the song. He remarked, "I grew up listening to this song. Of the songs Suparna Kanti Ghosh has composed, this is the best one. The song seems to have represented the coffee house of that time. I considered this to be the best song of respectable Manna Dey before. And I say the same in the future."[67]

College Street Coffee House[edit | edit source]

College Street Coffee House,[lower-alpha 8] the establishment which the song is based on, had regarded "Template:Langr" as its anthem.[69] Foreign media channels visited the place on the song's release.[46] After Dey died on 24 October 2023, Ghosh said, "Coffee house will remain... so will remain the chat sessions, but the man who made them immortal is now no more."[46] The coffee house personnel, and the administrative officer Dipankar Dasgupta, put a portrait of Dey in the house in remembrance of Dey.[70] A placard was put up on the house's entrance with the words, "Legendary singer Manna Dey is no more. He will never take part in the Coffee house chat sessions. On behalf of he Coffee house family, we pray for his soul to rest in peace."[71][72] As of March 17, 2024, the song was played for four decades in the house.[73]

Manna Dey visited the coffee house on February 19, 2002. He wore his usual cap and signed the papers of all the people who wanted his signature. Snehasish Chakraborty, present in the house, stated that the College Street Coffee House was never so crowded before the song was released.[74] Zaheed Hussain, an employee of the Coffee House said that Manna Dey is the singer who immortalized the Coffee House by singing the song. He also said to have seen Dey visit the House two times, as of July 23, 2018, at when he accepted a cup of coffee and a sandwich.[75]

In popular culture[edit | edit source]

On August 29, 2025, the Bengali feature film Coffee House was released publicly in West Bengal. It starred Sangita Konar acting as Sujata, and its title song was sung by Bollywood singer Vinod Rathod,[76] who traveled to Kolkata to record the song.[77]

In November 2025, directors Jenny Sarkar and Dipayan Mondal, and production house Suan Silver Screen announced the release of a suspense/thriller film named Template:Langr.[78][lower-alpha 9] Starring actors Anusha Viswanathan, Soumya Mukherjee, Priyanka Bhattacharya and Roopa Ganguly. Roopa Ganguly previously acted in the film Raghu Dakat.[79][80] A brief plot of the film was released: Sujata, who previously left for abroad, comes back into her ancestral home in North Bengal, feeling sentimental. She suddenly and mysteriously disappears from her home's tea garden. Aheri, her granddaughter specializing in music returns to India from England and searches for her.[78] She finds some old letters and an old diary bearing the song "Coffee House" along with the stories of six friends from the 1980s who used to hang out in a coffee house.[81][80] The shooting was scheduled to start from October 7, 2025.[82] Sarkar and Mondal commented, "Since childhood, I – like countless others – have grown up listening to Manna Dey's timeless classic song. The nostalgia of that song, its celebration of friendship, its reflections on relationships – these things have always moved us deeply. [...] That thought became the starting point."[83] Arijit Singh is said to be singing a new cover of the song.[80]
