Prem nagar mein basaaungi ghar main
Posted on: March 1, 2009
In my series of K L Saigal, here is another song. This is one of the ealiest song (1934) for a movie called “Chandidas”.
This song, “premnagar mein basaaungi ghar main” was a very frequently played song as the last song of “Puraani filmon ke geet” programme on Radio Ceylon.
We are all used of K L Saigal’s voice, but the voice of the female singer, Uma Shashi is quite nice too.
This song is from 1934, when talkies itself was just three years old in India and was in its infancy.
So, apart from this being a nice song to listen to, it is good to listen to one of the earliest song that has survived to this day. Lyricist is someone called Agha Hashra Kashmiri and the music director is R C Boral.

Agha Hashr [sic] Kashmiri was one of the foremost dramatist of the Indian theater during the first third of the twentieth century. A very nice profile can be found at http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jul2007-weekly/tapest-12-07-2007/index.html#3.

This was the most frequently heard on the radio and the one of my favorite songs too.
