Phagun (transl. Spring) is a 1958 Indian Hindi-language film directed and produced by Bibhuti Mitra and written by Pranab Roy. The film stars Madhubala and Bharat Bhushan in leading roles, and its score is by O. P. Nayyar.
A romantic musical, Phagun revolves around Bijan, a zamindar's son who falls in love with a dancer named Banani. They are not able to marry each other due to social differences in their lifetime and are reincarnated to complete their incomplete love tale.
Upon its release, Phagun was not well-received by critics, who panned it for its story and direction; but the film proved to be very popular among the audience as well as one of the top-grossing hits of 1958.
