The movie is based on the legend of Baiju Bawra from the days of Mughal Emperor Akbar in India. Baiju (Bhushan) is the son of a musician who also grows up to be a musician. He comes to believe that Tansen, the famed musician at the court of Akbar, was responsible for his father's death. The movie then follows Baiju's attempt to avenge his father's death by challenging Tansen to a musical duel. Meena Kumari plays Baiju's love interest.
The plot centered around music, so it was a necessity that the movie's soundtrack be outstanding. Renowned Bollywood music director Naushad and lyricist Shakeel Badayuni created memorable scores for the movie, all but one of the songs being based on Hindustani classical melodies -- ragas. Esteemed playback singers Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, and Shamshad Begum, and renowned classical vocalists Amir Khan and D. V. Paluskar lent their voices to the scores.
Amir Khan was a consultant for the music. The result was a critically acclaimed movie soundtrack. Famous songs from the movie include Tu Ganga Ki Mouj (raga Bhairavi), Mohe Bhool Gaye Sanwariya (raga Bhairav with traces of Kalingda), Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj (raga Malkauns), Aaj Gaawat Man Mero (raga Desi), O Duniya Ke Rakhwale (raga Darbari), and Jhoole Mein Pawan Ki Aayi Bahar (raga Pilu). Naushad won the Filmfare award for Best Music Director, and Meena Kumari won the Filmfare award for Best Actress.
The film also established Mohd. Rafi as the top male playback singer, a position he held until roughly 1969, and regained in 1977. The songs Rafi sang for the film, including Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj and O Duniya Ke Rakhwale, went on to become smash hits.
