This costume drama movie had eight songs in it that have become extremely rare to find. One song has been covered in the past.
Here is the second song from “Asiai Sitaara”(1937) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Jenabai Pawar. Pt Anuj is the lyricist. Music is composed by Master Mohammad.
Only audio of this rare song is available. It is clear from the starcast that this song was picturised on Jenabai Pawar herself.
From her powerful voice, it appears that Jenabai Pawar was a trained singer. With this song, she makes her debut in the blog as a singer.

taat bichhure
hriday ke
dhannath bichhure
humse bichhudo des
hey ae aao aao
nit leke prem ki maalaa
japti priy naam tumhaaraa
nit leke prem ki maalaa
japti priy naam tumhaaraa
ro ro din haay bitaaye
per bhuwannaath na aaye
ro ro din haay bitaaye
per bhuwannaath na aaye
jharat nayan se ansuwan kee dhaaraa
jharat nayan se ansuwan kee dhaaraa
aao

Atul ji,
Here is an extract from my old post, about who was Jenabai Pawar….
” Meanwhile Zunzar Rao Pawar fell in love with an Anglo-Indian girl – Jena Lawson, who was looking for an entry in films. They got married and she became Jenabai Pawar. Haribhai was not the one to lose such opportunities. He made two films with Jenabai Pawar as a heroine. The first was ‘The Hawk’ (aka ‘Baaz Bahadur’, 1931) and the other was ‘Asiai Sitara’ (1932). She did not work in more films. Soon Baakre and Pawar family returned to Kolhapur, after four years in Bangalore.
When the silent era ended and talkie films flourished, Haribhai closed Surya Films and went to Bombay. There, he remade his two successful silent films, made with Jenabai Pawar, as talkie films, with the same heroine. ‘Baaz Bahadur’ was made in 1936 and ‘Asiai Sitara’ was made in 1937. Now that these were talkie films, Jenabai also sang in the film. She sang four songs in each film. Considering she was not Indian, the songs were reasonably good.”

Thanks for these details. She sang amazingly well for someone who was a foreigner.
