Signification
Asking someone to move aside in a path.
Contexte culturel
In Bangladesh, 'রাস্তা দিন' (Rasta din) is often more common than 'Rasta charun'. Both are perfectly understood and polite. In Kolkata, you will frequently hear 'সাইড দিন' (Side din). The use of English words in daily Bengali is very high here. On buses, people often touch the shoulder of the person in front while saying this phrase to ensure they are heard over the engine noise. Men often address other men as 'Bhai' (Brother) and women as 'Apa' or 'Didi' (Sister) when using this phrase to maintain a respectful but familial tone.
The 'Ektu' Magic
Always add 'একটু' (ēkaṭu) before 'ছাড়ুন'. It makes you sound like a native speaker who is being extra polite.
Don't Shout
Unless it's an emergency, say it in a firm but calm voice. Shouting it can sound aggressive.

Use 'Shunun' (Listen) or 'Maaf korben' (Forgive me). Don't use 'Rasta charun' for this.
