Rumjhum barse baadarwaa
Posted on: June 21, 2011
In Hindi movies, the rainy season is the season of love. And this rainy season has countless songs in Hindi movies in its various sub themes, viz Saawan, jhoola, phuhaar, rimjhim, full fledged rains etc.
Here is one of the earliest rain song in Hindi movies. This song is from “Rattan” (1944). This was a movie where folk music based songs were created (instead of the usual classical music based songs) and they were eagerly lapped up by the music lovers. And this changed the way Hindi movie music began to be created.
This lovely rain song is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewaali. D N Madhok is the lyricist. Music is composed by Naushad, who pioneered the use of folk music based songs and this innovation was eagerly lapped up by other music directors too.
I am unable to identify the lady who lip syncs the song on the screen. I request my knowledgeable readers to help identify the pretty lady on whom this song is picturised.
PS-She in Swarnlata, leading lady of this movie who lip synced several songs in Zohrabai Ambalewaali’s voice in this movie.

A wonderful Radio Ceylon days memory – they used to have a `Purani Filmon ke Geet’ programme that usually ended at 8 am, with the last featured song always being a K. L. Saigal presentation.
I would never have known this song was from Rattan – I remember O jaanewale baalamwaa, lautke aa, lautke aa.

This song is a quintessential “purani filmon ke geet” kind of song, though I do not consciously recall having listened to this song in that programme. That distinction goes to “Dillagi” songs that I clearly recall listening to in that programme.
