What happens

Sur Sangam is a 1985 Indian Hindi-language musical drama film written, and directed by K. Viswanath. The soundtrack was helmed by Laxmikant Pyarelal in a true amalgamation of authentic classical sounds with the vocals from Pandit Rajan Sajan Mishras, Lata Mangeshkar, Suresh Wadkar, Kavita Krishnamurthy. The film is a Hindi remake of Viswanath's 1980 Telugu blockbuster Sankarabharanam and explores the cultural divide between Indian classical and Western pop music through the perspectives of characters from different generations.
