I dont know how it is that I am finding songs penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri again and again. The song which is under discussion is from the film “Ardhangini”. From the other songs posted here and seen on youtube it is seen that this film stars Meena Kumar and Raj Kumar, and from the title and songs I assume this to be similar type of social film like ‘Aarti”.

“Maha Pooja” (1954), as the name suggests, was a low budget religious mythological movie, the kind which was partonised in rural and semi rural areas rather than in big cities.It was an Amar Jyoti Films production. It was directed by Shanti Kumar. The credit for this movie shows names like Amirbai Karnataki, Shashi Kapoor, Anant Marathe, Naina, Prem Adib, Ratnamala etc in it. I am certain that the Shashi Kapoor of this movie is different from the brother of Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor.
