Tomare legechhe eto je bhalo chand bujhi ta jane and Aynate oi mukh dekhbe jokhon are two legendary popular romantic
play-back songs in Bangladesh’s film industry. First song
was used in Ehtesham directed and Shabnam-Rahman-starrer movie Rajdhanir Bukey and second song was used in Ashoke Ghosh directed and Razzak-Shabnam-starrer movie Nacher Putul. Robin Ghosh was the composer of these two songs. Talat Mahmud lent his voice for the song Tomare legechhe eto je bhalo chand bujhi ta jane, while Mahmudunnabi render the song Aynate oi mukh dekhbe jokhon.
