So meri raani
Posted on: February 19, 2013
“Pehli Raat” (1959) was a Pushpa Pictures Production. It was produced by A A Nadiadwala and directed by P L Santoshi. The movie had Sohrab Modi, Nimmi, Rehman, Nanda, Sudesh Kumar,Sheela Kashimiri, Raj Prakash, Manorama, Jeevan, Amir Bai Karnataki, Johny Walker, Lalita Pawar, Munshi Munaqa, Adeeb, Daraz,Ratna,Maqbool, Paro etc in it.
Here is a lullaby song from this movie. The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. It is picturised on Nimmi who sings this lullaby to a tiny tot (whom I am unable to identify).
The lyrics of this song are funny that makes it easy for tiny kids (as well as those young at heart) to be suitably amused by this tale that speak of a king with golden harvest, and a cat that is marrying a lions granddaughter with mice serving as part of his baaraat,and that of an ant who brings and elephant down by pulling his leg.
Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ravi.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Maan gaye Prakashchandra. Achha khoda. I have seen this movie. Nimmi is in a deglamorized role of an aggrieved old lady.
