== Musical career ==
Abhijit Banerjee was born into a Brahmin family in Kolkata and was interested in music from childhood. He became aware of the writer [[Rabindranath Tagore]] and knew [[Rabindra Sangeet]].<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Ghoshal |first=Sanjay |date=2022-02-21 |title=আরও এক নক্ষত্র পতন বাংলার সুরের জগত থেকে, জীবনাবসান অভিজিৎ বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়ের |url=https://bengali.oneindia.com/news/west-bengal/music-director-abhijit-banerjee-passes-away-after-long-illness-in-kolkata-155883.html |access-date=2026-04-29 |website=bengali.oneindia.com |language=bn}}</ref> As a student, he used to sing "Premer Samadhitire" by [[S.

He and his elder brother Arindam did many things together. They played [[kirtan]] at home trying to imitate the [[Nagar kirtan]] performed by [[Brahmin|Brahmins]], going to play or to listen to music. His friend Prabir Mazumdar helped him in his musical career. He once broke his neck when in [[Eighth grade|class eight]] and started playing [[xylophone]] in a dance group. Two years later, he returned to playing normal music under the motivation of Prabir Mazumdar. Mazumdar took his to the Gananatya Sangha.<ref name=":0" />

Banerjee used to play around near the grounds of [[Dhakuria railway station]]. Discussions were sometimes held there. One day while a discussion was being held in occasion of a railway strike, he saw a dark, slim man wearing a biscuit-colored coat, shirt and pajamas. He took off his coat and sang while playing a [[harmonium]]. Banerjee was stunned with his beautiful singing voice. He later came to know that the man was [[Salil Chowdhury]], an Indian [[lyricist]] and composer. He later met him in the Gananatya Sangha.<ref name=":0" />

One day, his brother Arindam Banerjee made Abhijit Banerjee compose the music for a song. He made a tune similar to Rabindra Sangeet.<ref name=":3" /> Afterwards, his brother Arindam suggested him to compose the poem "Chhipkhan Tindar" written by [[Satyendranath Dutta]].<ref name=":3" /> Banerjee was surprised with his own [[Melody|tune]]. He used [[Major and minor|major and minor tunes]] without knowing them.<ref name=":0" /> He left the composed song there. After a few days, his friend Prabir came and told him "Salilda{{Efn|Nickname of Salil Chowdhury}} said to take you." Banerjee took the song and went to Chowdhury's house in [[Kasba, Kolkata]]. Hearing Banerjee's tune, Salil Chowdhury endorsed him and took him to [[Saregama]], and gave the song to [[Shyamal Mitra]] to [[Sound recording and reproduction|record]].<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |last=বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায় |first=শুভজিৎ |date=February 21, 2022 |title=একটি অধ্যায়ের অবসান, প্রয়াত কিংবদন্তি সুরকার অভিজিৎ বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায় - Prohor |url=https://www.prohor.in/index.php/renowned-bengali-composer-abhijit-bandyopadhyay-passes-away |access-date=2026-04-29 |website=Prohor.in |language=en}}</ref> From then, Banerjee became a [[Partnership|close associate]] of Salil Chowdhury.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last=বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায় |first=শুভদীপ |date=2022-02-22 |title='সলিলের চ্যালা' অভিজিৎ, পুলকের সঙ্গে তাঁর জুটি ভরিয়েছিল সুপারহিট বাংলা গানের ডালি |url=https://www.thewall.in/entertainment/music-artist-abhijit-banerjee-special-story/tid/66620 |access-date=2026-04-29 |website=TheWall |language=bn}}</ref> This tune composed by him was used by Salil Chowdhury in his songs "Palki Chole", "Gayer Bodhu" and "Ranar." Banerjee's song was recorded by Salil Chowdhury. He also got a role in [[Saregama]] (His Master's Voice or HMV). Chowdhury played the organ in [[Shyamal Mitra]]'s song "Hongshopakha Diye,"<ref name=":3" /> which was taken nine times. During rehearsal, Mitra left by telling Banerjee of a [[Mohun Bagan Super Giant|Mohun Bagan]] match.<ref name=":0" />

His first composed songs included "Ei Shaon Gogone" by Hiralal Sarkhel, written by Anal Chattopadhyay, "Kothay Shonar Dhan" by Gananatya Sangha. He was active in Gananatya Sangha, and later practiced Rabindra Sangeet and heard the songs of Tagore. A few days later, he learned (Indian) [[classical music]] from Ushaprasanna Bandopadhyay and [[piano]] from V. Balsara. He worked with Salilda on melodies and tunes. Salilda occasionally held discussions between Anal Chattopadhyay, Abhijit Banerjee and Prabir Mazumdar. Salilda once asked them to play a West Indian tune while he himself sang "Dhitang Dhitang Bole," which was later recorded by Hemanta Mukhopadhyay. He put music to "O Parul Parul" sung by Gayetri Basu and "Jiboner Balubelay" by Dwijen Mukhopadhyay.<ref name=":0" />

Abhijit Banerjee became successful by composing the song "Tomar Duchokhe Amar Swapna," written by Pulak Bandyopadhyay on the "Basic Record" [[Record label|music label]]. It was sung by [[Pratima Bandopadhyay]] in 1957.<ref name=":3" /> "Oi Akashe Klanti Nei" by Pratima Banerjee was composed by Abhijit, where he took a new approach to compose the song musically, and to arrange the way in which it was sung.<ref name=":0" /> In the pujas, Hemanta Mukherjee had agreed to sing Banerjee's composed song. But he later said to him that he would have to sing Mukul Dutt's song and would not be able to sing Abhijit Banerjee's song. He released "Amio Pother Moto" written by Mukul Dutt and composed by him;<ref name=":3" /> and "Onek Aranya" with lyrics and music by Banerjee during the puja. He named Banerjee to be the lyricist of both songs to give him more royalty. Also in the pujas, he wrote the songs "Sobai Chole Geche" and "Emon Ekta Jhor Uthuk"<ref name=":3" /> in ''Basanta Bondona''. A long time before, his song "Sonali Champa Aay" was sung by Hemanta.<ref name=":3" /> Afterwards, he went to Hemanta who remarked him and his songs successful. They had been working for ten years at the time.<ref name=":0" />

Dwijen Mukhopadhyay and Tarun Bandyopadhyay were close friends. Abhijit Banerjee composed many puja songs for them. "Hajar Mone Bheere" was composed by Banerjee and sung by Dwijen Mukherjee. Mukherjee's song "Kopale Sidur Sidur Tip Porecho" was composed by Banerjee.<ref name=":3" /> The song "Saatnari Har Debo" was written by Shyamal Mitra as a "modern song" and Banerjee composed it. The song was sung by Dwijen Mukhopadhyay.<ref name=":0" /> Miltoo Ghosh wrote and Abhijit Banerjee composed the two songs "Dol Dol Choturdolay"<ref name=":3" /> and "Tolpar Tolpar," which Tarun Banerjee sang while shaking his head.<ref name=":0" />

Banerjee worked many times with playback singer Subir Sen. They were both fans of foreign songs and talked about their song views. As a result of the conversations, Banerjee was inspired by foreign songs. He composed "Saradin Tomay Bhebe" from [[Jim Reeves]]' "[[Distant Drums (song)|I hear the sound of distant drums]]", "E Jeno Sei Chokh" from "Snow Flakes", "Monalisa" from [[Nat King Cole]]'s "[[Mona Lisa (Nat King Cole song)|Mona Lisa]]."<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":9">{{Cite news |last=Dasgupta |first=Priyanka |date=2022-02-22 |title=Music director, song writer Abhijit Bandyopadhyay passes away in Kolkata |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/music-director-song-writer-passes-away/articleshow/89735311.cms |access-date=2026-04-29 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

''Jiban Rohoshyo'' film's [[Recording studio|recording]] was being done in the Bombay Laboratory in 1972.<ref name=":8" /> The song "Prithibi Takiye Dekho" was sung by Manna Dey. Manna Dey commented after he recorded, "This song was composed by Abhijit Banerjee thinking of Hemanta, how can it be done by me?"<ref name=":0" /> His reached [[Bombay]] on time for the recording of songs of ''Jiban Rohoshyo'', his first film''.'' [[Asha Bhosle]] was scheduled to record two songs for the film. But Bhosle later informed him that she would not be able to sing on the 3rd day, but on the 13th day. And again after a few days, she informed that she would only be able to sing one song by Abhijit Banerjee. On the same day, she sung for seven [[Music director|music directors]], including S. D. Burman. On the 12th day, Banerjee went to Bhosle to explain the songs, but she agreed to sing the second song after the she listened to the first.<ref name=":4" /> During this time, he had stubbed his toe on a door while in the studio and was bleeding, but he continued without changing the schedule.<ref name=":8" /> On the 13th day, she gave Banerjee the first recording of that day and sang the two songs. Asha Bhosle sung the songs "O Pakhi Ure Aay Ure Aay" and "Jodi Kane Kane Kichu Bodhua" composed by him.<ref name=":3" />

At some time, he worked with [[Haimanti Sukla|Haimanti Shukla]]. As expressed by Shukla, his composed song "Ekhono Sarengita Bajche" gave her popularity, and her audience wanted another song by Banerjee to be sung by her.<ref name=":9" /> In the film "Balak Saratchandra," Shukla sang the song "Shiv Thakurer Golay Dole Boichi Foler Malika." The film along with the song was released after seven days (in [[Theatre|theaters]]). Haimanti Shukla was first brought to Banerjee by Pulak Bandyopadhyay. At the time she had released only one song: "E To Kanna Noy Amar." [[One-hit wonder|This song introduced]] Shukla to Banerjee. Later she sang songs from [[Classical music|classical]] to [[Rapping|rap]] under the initiative of Banerjee.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 21, 2022 |title=Abhijit Banerjee: ‘ছেড়ে যেতে হবে সব’... স্মৃতিপথে হেঁটে অভিজিৎ-বিদায়ে হৈমন্তী, সৈকত, রূপঙ্কর |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/entertainment/haimanti-shukla-saikat-mitra-rupankar-bagchi-share-their-memories-of-late-composer-abhijit-banerjee-dgtl/cid/1330118 |access-date=April 29, 2026 |website=Anandabazar Patrika}}</ref> Abhijit Banerjee worked extensively with Pulak Bandyopadhyay. While he himself sometimes worked as a lyricist and wrote for film songs, most of the film songs he composed were written by Pulak Bandyopadhyay. His film songs "Tungtang Pianote Sarati Dupur" and "Jhonnon Tonnon" in the film ''Haraye Khuji'' were sung by [[Aarti Mukherjee]], with lyrics by Bandyopadhyay and "Phule Phule Bodhu" by Anup Ghoshal. In the hit film Tilottama directed by Dinesh Gupta, he composed "Rong Sudhu Diyei Gele" and "Amay Tomar Moto Pashan Kore Goro" were some of his [[Hit song|superhit songs]]. Pulak Bandyopadhyay wrote the song "Lomba Daari Chowkidar Bolche Heke Khobbodar" in ''Dushtu Mishti'' film, with music by Banerjee and the artist was Haimanti Shukla.
