হার-মানা হার

There were numerous uses of Rabindranath's song in Bangla movies. As it seems, we are still running short of noteworthy lyricist and composer in contemporary movie scene. Hence, Rabindranath remains as one and only mighty rescuer. I wonder - did he or any of his trustee get royalty for his songs being used in commercial purposes? 

A bright side of this practice is perhaps we got some beautiful voices like of Shibaji Chatterji, Hemanta Mukherjee singing Tagore in a more refreshing, vibrant and appealing way, which otherwise might not be possible if Tagore was restricted within academic practice only.
