By the Numbers
Pritam Chakraborty wrote the music for all ten tracks and Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote the words for all ten. The Zee Music Company release credits the album to those two names and no one else on the writing side, and the track table carries one blanket lyric line covering the whole record. Arijit Singh appears in neither column. What he has is the performer line on four tracks and, on the title track, a set of technical credits that are unusual for him: the label release lists him for programming, arranging and harmonium next to Sunny M.R. and Jim Satya. That is studio work on someone else's song, not authorship of it, and the difference matters when reading a Hindi film credit list. The awards sorted the same three jobs into three boxes. At the Filmfare ceremony held in February 2020, Pritam took a Best Music Director nomination, Bhattacharya a Best Lyricist nomination for "Kalank", and Singh the win for Best Male Playback Singer on that identical song. One track, judged three times, and a different person collected each time.
Kalank is the soundtrack to Abhishek Varman's 2019 Hindi film of the same name, put out by Zee Music Company after five of its songs had already gone to radio and streaming as singles. Music director Pritam Chakraborty composed all ten tracks and Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote every lyric on the record. Arijit Singh sings four of the ten, among them the title track, which won him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer. The other six go to Shreya Ghoshal, Jonita Gandhi, and the trio of Antara Mitra, Javed Ali and Tushar Joshi.
