This article is written by Sadanand Kamath, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Rajkumari and Amirbai Karnataki were among the leading female playback singers of 1930s and 40s. Both of them started their filmy careers around 1934-35 and also acted and sang songs in the films on themselves. Curiosity led me to check as to who had sung more Hindi film songs among them. So I checked the number of Hindi film songs sung by Amirbai Karnataki and Rajkumari during their careers from http://www.myswar.com. Since this website gives the details of songs only from the year 1941 onward, it was not possible to get the total number of songs sung by them in their entire filmy careers. Nonetheless, I felt that within this limitation, one should get a fair assessment of their contributions to Hindi film songs. As per these data, Amirbai Karnataki sang a total (solo, duets etc) number of 302 songs while Rajkumari sang a total of 387 songs during 1941 and onward. On this basis, I would guess that Rajkumari may have sung more Hindi film songs then Amirbai Karnataki.

“Maa Baap” (1944) is a movie about which very little is known today, no matter if there are sites that claim to give you “All about Maa Baap (1944),view video clips, reviews, story, stills, trailers, songs, wallpapers, synopsis, user comments, news,cast,crew..” about the movie. All that I have been able to gather about this movie is that it had Nazir Khan, Veena, Rajkumari Shukla, Yakub in it.
