This song from “Munimji” (1955) was a long pending farmaish of the readers. This song is a different kind of song. It is a stage song that describes the wedding of Lord Shiva with Parvati.

I keep repeating ad nauseum in these pages that there are many great gems lying forgotten out there as far as Hindi movie songs are concerned. I keep discovering such songs almost on a daily basis.

Johny Walker was perhaps the first non Hero who began to have songs picturised on him on a regular basis. Many of these songs became very popular.

“Chakradhaari” (1954) was a B grade low budget movie as most movies with mythological/religious stories tended to be those days. Of course there was nothing B grade about the music of such movies considering that there was far too much of musical talent available those days to cater to movies of all budgets.

Songs of 1940s and 1950s are nostalgia lovers’ delight. These songs magically transport us back to the era when Rehana was a leading lady and Premnath was a lead actor.

Qawwalis are normally the longest songs in Hindi movies. But sometimes stage songs also give qawwalis a run for their money as far as their duration is concerned.
