1949–1971.

fifties and sixties.

'Aag' in 1948. The musical compositions in this film (in
which the music director Ram Ganguli was assisted by Shankar
and Jaikishan) proved to be quite popular.
- During the recording of some songs for his new film
'Barsaat', Raj Kapoor had some serious differences with Ram
Ganguly, the music composer of the film and finally decided
to assign its music to Shankar-Jasikishan Duo. The result
was that the the film Barsaat was a super hit and the
success was largely attributed to itsvery popular music.

Hasrat Jaipuri and with singers Mohammed Rafi and Lata

classical music, S-J also employed western beats and
