BAIJU BAWRA: 64 YEARS OLD

And yes, good music is the outstanding feature of this film. It had to be, since it’s about the legendary 16th century singer and musician Baijnath (‘Baiju Bawra.)

Agra during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar (Bipin Gupta, though we don’t get to see him until close to the end of the film) is a wealthy, busy city: the capital of the Mughal empire. Here, in one of the grandest havelis of the imperial city, lives Tansen (Surendra), singer par excellence and one of the nau ratan (the fabled ‘nine gems&rsquo of Akbar’s court. Tansen, it seems, is well aware of his consequence: nobody is allowed to even try to sing in the vicinity of his haveli, since that will disturb the maestro while he’s practising. If you want to sing, you’d better sing better than Tansen. If not, you’ll be executed.
