He was among the first to recognize that cinema should have its own language. And like Beethoven's symphonies or Vilayat Khan's sitar, Rabindrasangeet demands an educated, intelligent & cultured audience to appreciate the lyrical beauty of his compositions. Novel interpretations and variations have drawn severe censure in both West Bengal and Bangladesh. Practitioners of this genre are known to be fiercely protective of tradionalist practice. 'Rabindrasangeet' has evolved into a distinctive school of music. The poorest boatman on the Ganges as well as the rich landlord find expression for their emotional trials and tribulations in Tagore's songs.

The poet had given a voice to all-big or small, rich or poor. In his book 'Caste and Outcaste', Dhan Gopal Mukerji has said that these songs transcend the mundane to the aesthetic and express all ranges and categories of human emotion. It is said that his songs are the outcome of 500 years of literary & cultural churning that the Bengali community has gone through. The 'Rabindrasangeet', which deal with varied themes are immensely popular and form a foundation for the Bengali ethos that is comparable to, perhaps even greater than, that which Shakespeare has on the English-speaking world. These songs are regarded as cultural treasures of Bengal in both Bangladesh and West Bengal (India).
