Lauren Gottlieb in a still from Calcutta Kiss
New Delhi:
Director Dibakar Banerjee is making his version of Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! work overtime with auxiliary music videos replace regular song-dance routines. After we watched actor Sushant Singh Rajput perform a complicated rap number in Bach Ke Bakshy, new song Calcutta Kiss features Lauren Gottlieb as the centrepiece of a cabaret-themed sequence.
Lauren, winner of international dance reality show So You Think You Can Dance, features in the video as a '60s cabaret dancer surrounded by mime artists dressed like Byomkesh Bakshy in dhotis and jackets. The video also features snippets from the film to pique curiosity. Lauren choreographed Sushant's moves in Bach Ke Bakshy.

Musically, Calcutta Kiss is the creation of funk duo Madboy/Mink, who are otherwise known as actors-singers-composers Imaad Shah and Saba Azad.
The title of the song presumably refers to the kiss between Sushant's character and that of the actress-spy played by Swastika Mukherjee. Sushant was 'tricked' into the kissing scene by director Dibakar Banerjee and, according to Swastika, was left 'in shock' by it.
