Basant Bahar (film)
1956 film by Raja Nawathe
Basant Bahar (transl. Beautiful Spring), directed by Raja Nawathe,[1] is a 1956 Indian film. This musical[2] had nine outstanding songs, with lyrics written by Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri; and music composition by Shankar–Jaikishan. The movie is an adaptation of the Kannada novel Hamsageethe by TaRaSu.[3] Hamsa 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.
