When director Aleya Sen set out to make Trial Period, she was certain that not only the songs needed to be in sync with the storyline but also convey the emotions of the principal characters in those situations. The JioCinema offering revolves around a single mother Ana, essayed by Genelia Deshmukh, living in Delhi with her six-year-old son Romi. Her world turns upside down when Romi demands a father on a month-long trial basis.
For the critical sequence when Prajapati Dwivedi’s (Manav Kaul) trial period as Romi’s father is coming to an end just before Diwali, Sen opted for Golemale, a famous Bengali Baul folklore song. It is significant as Kaul’s character wrestles with his emotions, realising it is his last chance to express his feelings to his ladylove. What adds to the impact of the track is that the director has also brought in elements of rap, to make it an interesting dance number.
