Husan Lal Bhagat Ram were the first legendary music directors duo in Bollywood. They are two brothers, Husan Lal (08 April, 1920 – 28 December, 1968) and Bhagat Ram (1914 – 29 November 1973).

Husan Lal was also a renowned violinist, vocalist (indian classical misic) and music composer, but his prowess as singer is not commonly known. Bhagat Ram was considered an expert harmonium player.

Bhagat Ram composed music for a few films in 1930s alone under the name "Bhagat Ram Batish". In 1944 he and Husan Lal joined forces for the first time to compose music for a film under the name Husan Lal - Bhagat Ram. The brothers were popular music composers in the 1940s and early 1950s, but their career waned after 1955.

Their oldest brother Pandit Amarnath was also a music composer of HMV and film music in the 1940s. 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 Mohinderjit Singh. The brothers were born in Kahma, Punjab, British India.
