What it’s about. Dedicated to the memory of the great singers K. L. Saigal and Mukesh, this charming and unpretentious film offers a palate-cleansing change from the spicy “masala” epics that dominated its era, and features their superstar Amitabh Bachchan in a decidedly offbeat role.

Who’s in it. Alaap stars Amitabh Bachchan as Alok Prasad, Rekha as Radhakumari (Radhiya), Om Prakash as Advocate Triloki Prasad and Farida Jalal as Sulakshana Gupta, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, Alaap has been warmly received by audiences.
