Barsaat Ki Raat (1960)
Plot
Bāŕsāt Ki Rāt (transl. A Rainy Night) is a 1960 Indian Hindi-language romantic musical film directed by P. L. Santoshi and produced by R. Chandra. Starring Madhubala, Bharat Bhushan and Shyama, the film is considered a defining example of the romantic musical film genre. The film's art direction is by Ganesh Basak. A Muslim-social set amongst the erudite and cultured urban Muslims of independent India, Barsat Ki Rat revolves around two lovers Shabnam (Madhubala) and Amaan (Bhushan), who strive to be together but the society does not approve of them. Upon its release, the film became a blockbuster success, the second highest earner of 1960, the twenty-first highest earner of the 1960s at the Indian box office, and one of the top hundred highest-grossers of all time (when adjusted for inflation). Barsat Ki Rat got a positive feedback from contemporary critics. The Roshan-composed soundtrack, considered one of the finest in the Indian cinema, was singled out for praise by both critics and audience. The song "Zindagi Bhar Nahi Bhoolegi" and the qawwali "Na To Karavan Ki Talash Hai" topped the music charts that year. A cult film now, Barsat Ki Rat has been lauded by 21st century critics
