The story is lengthy with lots of twists and melodramatic events. The performances are all animated and old school. The actor who plays Tansen gives a pretty good performance. Bharat Bhushan is okay. Meena Kumari is really good.
The outstanding traditional and Classical music by Noushad needs special mention. Baiju Bawara features some of the greatest songs by Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mageshkar. The melodies are simply haunting. "O Duniya ke rakhwale", "Insaan Bano", "Mohe Bhool gaye sawariya" and "Tu Ganga ki Mouj me" are timeless classics of Hindi cinema.
