Both Ustad Vilayat Khan and his brother Ustad Imrat Khan received taalim from their uncle Ustad Wahid Khansahab after their father Ustad Enayat Khansahab passed away (Vilayat Khansahab was only 9 years when his father passed away). Incidentally Ustad Wahid Khansahab was actually court musician in several princely-states.

From the name, it was first difficult for me to understand what this movie was all about. But after watching it, i'm all praise for satyajit ray. If this movie was based on some novel, then its very difficult to portray human emotions exactly as it is in the novel onto the movie. but ray has done it. a perfect portrayal of an egotist.

Thanks for these important slices of history. Their GHARANA has represented the best in Music, Teaching and above all PASSION with humility. Music lovers need blessings from the giants of this Gharana of Vilayat Khan Sahib.
