Husn Lal and Bhagat Ram were the first legendary music director duo in Bollywood.

They are two brothers, Husn Lal (8 April 1920 – 28 December 1968) and Bhagat Ram (1914 – 29 November 1973).

Bhagat Ram was considered an expert harmonium player.

The brothers were popular music composers in the 1940s and early 1950s, but their career waned after 1955.

These two great exponents trained music directors Shankar (of Shankar–Jaikishan), Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar (of Laxmikant–Pyarelal), Khayyam, the singer Mahendra Kapoor and the singer-composer S. Mohinder and trained musician Pandit Kesar Chand Narang.
