I had mentioned in one of my earlier posts that I keep an excel sheet to keep track of all the songs posted, as well as all the farmaishes sent by readers.

I became aware of this movie called “Amar Jyoti” (1936) thanks to the review of this movie by Greta (memsaab). When I searched for the songs of this movie, I came across a few songs from this movie. Considering that the sound recording technology was in its infancy and the actors themselves had to record the songs live, the quality of the songs were not particularly great at least in the first two songs of this movie that I came across. But when I heard the third song, I sat up and took notice.
