8.3Dedicated 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.

Alaap (lit. Prelude) is a 1977 Indian musical drama film directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and produced by N. C. Sippy and Mukherjee. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Chhaya Devi, Asrani, Farida Jalal, Om Prakash, Lily Chakravarty in the lead and Sanjeev Kumar in a small role.
Upon release, Alaap failed to do well commercially owing to its depressing theme and Bachchan's "Angry Young Man" image at that time, but attained cult status in later years and is regarded as one of Mukherjee's most underrated works. At the 25th Filmfare Awards, Jaidev was nominated for Best Music Direction.
