Harano Sur (Bengali: হারানো সুর; English: The Lost Melody) is a 1957 Indian Bengali-language romantic drama film by Ajoy Kar, starring Suchitra Sen and Uttam Kumar, with music by Hemanta Mukherjee, and sung by Geeta Dutt. The film is regarded as one of the finest examples [1] of Bengali cinema of this early golden [2] period. The film is loosely based on the 1942 Hollywood flick Random Harvest which had been remade earlier in Tamil as Amara Deepam and in Hindi as Amar Deep.[3]

There, while treating him she falls for him and he for her. They marry but a second accident makes him recall his life as a rich businessman in Calcutta and forget the memories spent with Roma.

Roma keeps trying to simulate Alok's memory but is looked at suspiciously by Lata, Alok's fiancée in Calcutta who thinks Roma is snatching Alok away from her and who complains to Alok's mother.
