बुनियाद हुसैन ख़ान

Bunyad Husain Khan was a music director active in Hindi-Urdu cinema of the mid-1930s. His documented work is the score of Said-e-Havas (1936), Sohrab Modi's Stage Film Company production adapted from Agha Hashar Kashmiri's Urdu stage play — itself a reworking of Shakespeare's King John. Conceived as a filmed record of the stage performance, the picture carried eleven songs composed by Khan, including "Baat Saqi Ki Na Taali Jayegi", "Aao Pyare Mehman Jaan-O-Dil Ke Sultan Aao", "Majhdar Doobi Jaat Paar Karo Rab" and "Shahejamaan Malk-e-Jahan Jo Koi Chand Suraj Hai", with G. M. Durrani among the singers in an early screen assignment. Rooted in the Parsi-theatre musical idiom of ghazals and devotional numbers, the film fared poorly at the box office, and little else about Khan's life or later career has been documented.
