Ustad Mushtaq Ali Khan - Ekti Anweshan, A Documentary Film by Jayanta Chattopadhyay

Long days back, one day, a lone lad came to Kolkata from Varanasi only with a Sitar in his hand to find out his fortune. With an intense love for music he took shelter in the houses of music lovers and kept himself engaged in the path of rigorous sadhana. It took sometimes when Kolkata, Bengal and the whole country started to acknowledge his talent. On hearing his Sitar recitals people came to know what is actually the baaj of Jaipur Senia Gharana . This was the starting phase of the career of Sitar Sudhakar USTAD MUSHTAQ ALI KHAN. He was designated as a traditionalist. He adhered strictly and honestly to the real baaj of Jaipur Senia gharana against all obstructions and allurement of the world of name and fame. This first documentary film , a research work, made by Pandit Jayanta Chattopadhyay, son of Sangeetacharya Vishmadev Chattopadhyay portrays not only the hues of an artist but also different aspects of his personal life. The film presents valuable interviews, opinions by different music personalities and sitar recitals by Ustad himself and his disciples - a must-to-see by the Hindusthani music lovers.
