I've managed, after many years, to get a great quality copy of this rare movie from the internet. In widescreen too. As far as I know it's never been officially released here in the UK or the States on DVD but now....

BTW That's my tabla guru, the late Pandit Manik Rao Popatkar, 'playing' on the left.

I remember seeing this on TV in the early 70's. Learned a few of the sitar tunes. I believe it was Vilayat and Imrat Khan who played most of the sitar. I recall that besides this Bahar, there was a Bilawal and possibly Bhairavi. It was a brilliant idea to involve Vilayat in this film.

@jshsitar Bilawal was the recurrent raga in the film with many variations, including a brilliant jugalbandi by the Guru and his student (Vilyat and Imrat Khan Sahibs). The film also has an absolutely superb Yaman that truly sets the bar for chhote khayals for sitar.

To think that Michael's fiancee was extremely sick through most of the production of this movie

I read his autobiography XD

Geez, I really want to see the rest of this!

Thanks for the post . Quintessential Merchant Ivory (or should I say Jhabhvala) exchange between the reporters and Michael York character. Brilliant Bahaar by Vilayat Khan.

I already put up the music clips from this movie but your quality is a little better than mine. Where did you get yours from, please?
