Chhilam Jonglee Janwar" and "Jongoleri Raja Aami" for the unreleased film "Koyeler Kachhe". These songs were composed by Bappi Lahiri.
It may be carefully noted that a few of the Bengali movies, for which the great Kishore Kumar rendered his golden voice, were released as double version films. Among these were Aradhana, Amanush, Ananda Ashram, Bandi, Jyoti, Kalkuthi, Anusandhan, Annay Abichar, Tinmurti, Samar, Swarna Trisha etc.
In this regard it may be a conspicuous thing that a few of Bengali movies, for which Kishore Kumar sang, released with a different name. For example, the film "Swarna Trisha" was originally named "Antarghat" as available from the record cover published by Inreco-Hindusthan. The record of the film songs of "Ranga Bhanga Chand" published on LP from HMV later came as "Ashrita". The lyrics of the song he sang for this film "Neel Neel Akashe" is a lyrical translation of His super hit Hindi song..."Neele Neele Ambar Par" though the tunes of these two songs are totally different and both are super hit. It is also a thing to remember that the songs of the film "Anindita"....direction, production and music direction...all by Hemanta Mukhopadhyay were published and available both from HMV and Megaphone Records.
Kishore Kumar sang a good number of Bengali modern songs which are non-film and are really popular, even today. These songs were mostly published as Durga Puja numbers on EP records usually. The songs were composed by He himself, Rahul Deb Burman, Hemanta Mukhopadhyay and Basu- Manohari duo on HMV and Megaphone Records and remarkably 24 Tagore Songs as he was an admirer of Rabindranath Tagore. These 24 Tagore songs were on two LPs from Megaphone records under the guidance of Hemanta Mukhopadhyay and Samaresh Roy in 1981 and 1986 respectively. Some sources say that all the 24 songs were recorded in 1978, and the first album was published in 1981 and second one in 1986 although it is not documented. The arrangements of these two albums were completely different. The first album was arranged by Aloknath Dey, the famous flutist and arranger who worked with Satyajit Ray from "Pather Panchali" to "Agantuk" and obviously in the historical radio programme "Mahisasuramardini". For the song "Aami Chini Go Chini" he arranged in western classical style under the direction of Satyajit Ray for the film "Charulata". The arrangement for the same song in LP was totally different. The second album of the Tagore songs were recorded in Worli, Mumbai, like the first one, with totally a different style of arrangements and the quality of recording seems better a bit than the first album. But it must be taken into account that both the albums are considered not only as equally popular even today but also as a trend setter as far as the question of music arrangement for Tagore songs is concerned and that too, within the precincts of guidelines for Tagore songs as set by the Vishwa Bharati that time.
In Bengali films, Kishore Kumar did sing 6 Rabindra Sangeets. Those were Mayabono Biharini Horini from Lukochuri which was a duet with his first wife Ruma Guha Thakurta, Ami Chini Go Chini Tomare from Charulata, Ektuku Choya Lage from Ektuku Choya Lage, and three songs for the film "Ghare Baire" of Satyajit Ray such as "Bidhir Badhan Katbe Tumi", "Bujhte Nari Naree Ki Chay" and "Chal Re Chal Sab Bharata Santan". All these three songs are from the movie "Ghare Baire" under the guidance and direction of Satyajit Ray. However, he sang Maybono Biharini again for the second time, however in a version by himself in a later date which he published in the first album in 1981, sang Ami Chini Go Chini Tomare for the second time, and Ektuku Choya Lage for the second time. So if you want to add how many Rabindra Sangeet Kishore Kumar sang including the same songs but different versions and different dates, then it would be 30 songs. In Hindi films, Kishore Kumar sang some songs that had the same tune and rhythm of some Rabindra Sangeets but the whole song was not copied, just some parts of the song especially the starting of the song such as Tere Mere Milan Ki Yeh Raina from film Abhimaan composed by S.D. Burman which was the same tune and rhythm of Jodi Tare Nai Chini Go Se Ki which Kishore Kumar sang in his second Rabindra Sangeet Album published in 1986, Chookar Mere Man Ko from film Yaarana composed by Rajesh Roshan which was the same tune and rhythm of Tomar Holo Shuru Amar Holo Sara which Kishore Kumar never sang, Nanha Sa Panchi Re Tu from film Toote Khilone composed by Bappi Lahiri which was the same tune and rhythm of Bhenge Mor Ghorer Chabi, which Kishore Kumar also never sang.
