Today (18 April 2023) is the remembrance anniversary of Khursheed Bano (14 april 1914-18 april 2001). She was active in Hindi movies right from 1931 when talkies films began. Her debut film was Madan Theatre, Calcutta’s “Laila Majnu”(1931). Incidentally a movie with the same title was made in 1931 in Bombay as well. 🙂
Khursheed Bano was the top notch female singer-actor of those days. It was a crown that she held till 1948 when she migrated to the newly formed country of Pakistan as she belonged to that place, being born in Kusur and brought up in Lahore.
Her initial movies were productions of Calcutta and Lahore, such as “Laila Majnu”(1931), “Hathheeli Dulhan”(1932), “Chatra Bakawali”(1932), “Muflis Aashiq”(1932), “Naqlee Doctor”(1933), “Swarg ki Seedhi”(1935), “Mirza Sahiban”(1935), etc
She moved to Bombay in late 1930s and and her biggest hits were delived there. “Bhakt Surdas”(1941), “Tansen”(1942), “Nurse”(1943), “Shahanshah Babr”(1944), “Moorti”(1945), “Mitti”(1947) and “Aap Beeti”(1948), “Papeeha Re”(1948) etc were her memorable movies during her Bombay stint.
After Partition, she along with her husband Lala Yakub, went to Pakistan and settled in Karachi. While in Pakistan, she acted in two movies in 1956, but they both flopped badly. She then retired for movies. In 1956, she divorced Lala Yakub and married a business man Yusuf Bhai Mian. She died in Karachi, Pakistan on 18 april 2001.
We can see that all her big hits were delivered while she worked in Indian films in undivided India. She was in her mid thirtees when she migrated to Pakistan but she could not find fertile ground for her talent there. From the topmost actor-Singer in India, she was reduced to almost nothing as an artist in Pakistan.
As a tribute to Khursheed Bano, here is a song from “Shaadi”(1941).
“Shaadi”(1941) was directed by Jayant Desai for Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. This movie had Madhuri, Motilal, Khrusheed Bano, Ishwarlal, Dixit, Ghori, Bhagwandas, Kantilal, BhoopatRai, Tarabai, Brijmala, Keshari, Baby Kamala etc in it.
The movie had 14 songs in it. 8 songs have been covered in the blog. Here is the ninth song from the movie to appear in the blog.
This song is sung by Khursheed Bano and female chorus. Lyrics are by Munshi Dil. Music is composed by Khemchand Prakash.
Only audio of the song is available. The song was picturised on Khursheed Bano herself, of course.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
