About
‘After the box office failure of my second film Aparajito (“The Unvanquished”), I was a little unsure as to what kind of film I should make next. After some deliberation, I decided on a film featuring singing and dancing – a formula which usually worked with the Indian audience. I chose a popular short story – Jalsaghar – about the last days of a music loving feudal baron.
‘I was fortunate to be able to use some of the leading singers and instrumentalists for the film. As composer, I chose the great sitar virtuoso Vilayat Khan who was most ably assisted by his younger brother Imrat Khan, also a sitar virtuoso. The two of them provided superb solos and duets for the background music for which – with the exception of violins – only Indian instruments were used. All the background score is raga-based.’
