Lata Mangeshkar practically defines the sound of the entire Indian film industry. Her voice has no longer remained just hers; it has come to be recognized as the voice of Indian films.

Through the medium of popular music, she has introduced the common man to the beauty of different ragas.

It is a pioneering project, which will be recognized as the first serious critical analysis of a great singing career.
