It is only the occasional deft guitar work (Sanjoy Das and Rishabh Ray) that prevents the song from sounding entirely dated. The rest of the soundtrack belongs to the man with whom Sircar has had the most memorable musical collaborations with — Shantanu Moitra. The duo’s first work together Yahaan in 2005 still remains the best soundtrack for a Sircar film, in my book. Moitra delivers splendidly to expectations in the breezy ‘Manwaa’, a song written by his trusted lyrical partner Swanand Kirkire. October has a decent soundtrack where Sircar gets the best songs from his oldest collaborator.
