Basant Bahar (film)

Directed by Raja Nawathe, Basant Bahar is an Indian classic of the midfifties. In 1956, this musical had nine outstanding songs with lyrics written by Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri and music composition by ShankarJaikishan. The story is based on the Kannada novel Hamsageethe by legendary novelist Tarasu. Hamasa means swan and Geethe means song. It is believed that before a swan dies,it will sing without opening its mouth. That mutter of melody is believed to be unmatched since any scene of lyricism falls short of its reach.
