Not much music or info is available of the lesser-known Basant Prakash (Khemchand Prakash's brother?), but he had some memorable offerings in the 50s, one of which was the soundtrack of this 1952 movie starring one of my favorite on- (and off-) screen couples - Ashok Kumar and Nalini Jaywant.

Sweet old tune, mapping each of the seven surs of her beena to an emotion she's going through, sort of (she hastily wraps up the last three sur. I guess to keep it short - two sur par antaraa could add up to some fairly lengthy verse).

And of course, Lata+1952 = (you do the math).
