Jalsaghar (Bengali: জলসাঘর) was released in 1958, sometimes released in the English-speaking world as Jalsaghar: The Music Room, is the fourth feature film directed by Satyajit Ray. Based on a novel of the same name by Tarashankar Bandopadhyay, the film is a detailed dramatic study of the last days of a zamindar - a semi-feudal landlord in Bengal. Told with a detail and sense of empathy, Jalsaghar drew high praise internationally (e.g. Bosley Crowther in The New York Times, Derek Malcolm in The Guardian), and is discussed in the second volume of Roger Ebert's Great Movies as a landmark film in global cinema.
The film features an excellent footage of Hindustani classical vocal and instrumental music, as well as classical dance. The musical score is by Vilayat Khan (although the credits for the Sony Pictures Classics video release mistakenly list Ravi Shankar as composer) and several major performers, including Begum Akhtar (first singer; sometimes credited as Akhtari Bai), Roshan Kumari (kathak dancer), Ustad Bismillah Khan and Company, Waheed Khan (surbahar player), and Salamat Ali Khan (second, khyal singer; sometimes credited as Salamat Khan) also appear in the film.

I thought roshan kumari ji still held her dance classes in bandra, mumbai. I do know that a relatively popular tv actress of the 90's was her student. I also remember there being a vijay teacher in the juhu area of mumbai who taught jaipur style kathak.
