In a career spanning more than four decades, Jitu and Tapan (Jitu Sharma and Tapan Bhattacharya) literally gave a makeover to the Assamese music industry. Inspired and guided by stalwarts like Mohammad Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar, the duo were also one of the first representatives of Assam to Bollywood, having worked as music directors in as many as 35 Hindi movies and around 7 television serials. Anutaap, Morisika, Tyag, Deuta Dia Bidai, Manab aru Danab, etc are some of the Assamese films where they have worked.
